More Christmas Songs That You Probably Aren't Sick of Yet
'Tis the season for using my Frank eating cats icon, folks! Just like last year, I've got a bunch of cool Christmas songs for you to download and enjoy. I've been listening to these and last year's picks (still available) non-stop while decorating my house, they're kind of all pretty fabulous. So download a few individual songs, download the whole zip, whatever you want. We've got your originals, your standards, your covers, your hymns. These were a bitch to upload for some reason, so let me know if any of them are messed up, particularly the zip file. Please right-click and save-as or else you'll destroy my bandwidth. Enjoy! Please comment if you download.
