Christmas music!
It is probably no secret that I loooove Christmas music. Like...I have 2.52 gigs of it on my laptop. So since it's still Christmas time, and I listen to it through Epiphany anyway, I figured I'd upload my mix from last year and then cobble together one for this year.

To be fair, these mixes aren't just carols, but also just songs about winter or that mention the holidays. My fascination with Christmas music has only grown since I took an early music course a couple years ago, so some day years from now I will make a mix that is all Christmas day masses in Gregorian chant. ::chin hands:::
Anyway, contrary to what these mixes might make you think, my favorite carol is Carol of the Bells. Also...I'm Buddhist, so I am probably missing the point with hardly any songs about Jesus. Sorry y'all; Christmas is a big secular time in my house (and I'm never home for Bodhi Day, womp womp).
What these mixes might actually reveal is that I am, in fact, a filthy hipster. NO APOLOGIES.
Also, if holiday bliss is your thing, you should probably check out all the amazingness happening at
, which has a lot of porn and a lot of delightfully sappy cuddling and porntastic Penrose stairs. A++. Also, I have two stories there...about Christmas carols. Kind of. Mostly about blowjobbery.
