The Ultimate Splat Mix Tape- Christmas Edition

Today, we typed in Christmas into iTunes and realized that we have HUNDREDS of songs to choose from…and it got us thinking…what would be the ULTIMATE Christmas Mix Tape.

The Closing Track will be “Merry Christmas From The Family” by Robert Earl Keen

Any other suggestions?
