What's on my MP3 player for The Holidays?

"It's the most wonderful time of the year...", for music anyway.

Bay Team has finally allowed me to indulge my Holiday music obsession by scheduling a Tournament trial on December 15/16!  Here is a preview of the Holiday Mix I have planned - it's a work in progress.  You will notice that there are some duplicates, but the styles are so different that I've decided it's OK.  Hopefully, when I Shuffle the Playlist, they won't come up too close together.

Here are my Top Ten Holiday recording artists, in no particular order:

1. The Blenders (Nog, When It Snows and Most Wonderful Time)
2. Brian Setzer Orchestra (Boogie Woogie Christmas, Dig That Crazy Christmas)
3. Chicago (Chicago Christmas)
4. Harry Connick (Harry for the Holidays, When My Heart Finds Christmas)
5. Gloria Estefan (Christmas Through Your Eyes)
6. Trans-Siberian Orchestra (The Lost Christmas Eve - it helps if you've seen the live show)
7. Dave Koz (A Smooth Jazz Christmas, December Makes Me Feel This Way)
8. Mannheim Steamroller (any of their 6 or so albums)
9. Bette Midler (Cool Yule)
   and last, but certainly not least:
10. Bob Rivers (Twisted Christmas, More Twisted Christmas, I Am Santa Claus, Chipmunks Roasting On An Open Fire, not quite so fond of White Trash Christmas)

The list is divided into two sections:
Traditional/Original - Alphabetically, by Song Name
Parody/Alternative - Alphabetically, by Artist
