Christmas music has a special place in my heart this time of year, but not most of the stuff that gets played endlessly in malls and stores. Today's show begins with some favorite electronic remixes that I collected over the years I was doing an electronic show here. After that, it ranges all over from a cappella bands to ancient tunes to modern takes on the holiday. Enjoy!
