I would like to request that everyone put this track on their mixes, please. Thanks! :santa

 

(I'm considering just posting every version of this song that I've got as my mix...)

 

G - not sure if I bugged you about Jenn Grant during last year's version of these Mixes. If not I meant to. Jenn is a Canadian singer/songwriter with the same deep sleepy voice as Zooey Deschannel.

 

This is Jenn with Silver Bells.

I don't think I had heard that before, but that is lovely, thanks. I'm a sucker for Silver Bells, anyway. :)

The Old 97s released 2 free Christmas tracks last year. Not a full album. The Squirrel Nut Zippers album is great. So is the Barenaked Ladies Christmas disc. I also enjoy the Jars of Clay album and Brian Setzer Orchestra have a couple of good ones out. Los Lonely Boys have one out but I haven't heard it.
