Get Out North Idaho Presents: Christmas Clambake!

It's that time again to gather friends and family, trade gifts and warm memories, and tie one on. And I'm not talking about tying jingle bells to the pom-pom on your Santa hat.

Every year, I scour the web to find a fresh batch of Christmas tunes and put together a Christmas mix CD to give out to friends to provide a musical backdrop for the holiday times that's a little more interesting than good old Bing singing "White Christmas" or not-so-good old George Michael singing "Last Christmas".

As a gift to you, my dear reader, I have posted the link to a zip file containing this year's holiday mix in mp3 format. Enjoy, and don't get too carried away with the drinky yuletide cheer. You don't want to end up in the ER having a candy cane removed from another dark orifice again this year!
