My parents and I hit the road tomorrow for Albuquerque, NM to spend Christmas with my sister. Obviously, an 11+ hour drive needs plenty of good tunes and in this case, more than a little Christmas music. I’m always a fan of the classics {Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin} but I figured that since my mom should have those pretty well covered, I would focus my energy on creating an alternative Christmas mix. Anything to avoid running the risk of listening to the Chipmunks sing “Christmas Don’t Be Late.”
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!
