My Musical Christmas Gift to You
December 24th, 2008 | events, music | 1 Comment
I’ve been making holiday mixtapes as gifts for years. They’ve evolved into two distinct themes: that warm and fuzzy feeling the holidays can bring and the darker, more stressful and confused condition that can too easily befall us during this time of year. Which camp do you fall into?
Here’s wishing you a safe and restful holiday season. I’ve included this year’s two mixes below. Enjoy!
