FMD 12/22/17: Holiday
We did the Holiday mix. It is awesome. A few new songs I didn't know and other ones that weren't in my regular rotation. Anyway, the awesomeness and previousness of that list doesn't mean this Friday we go silent on discussing holiday music. So. That's the thing.
Jim Nabors – Silent Night
Here you go.
Mariah Carey – All I Want for Christmas Is You
This one goes out to a special someone whose Christmas wish we are happy to make come true. (I haven't actually managed to watch more than five seconds of this, so hopefully it doesn't fritz out at the end or anything.)

Sufjan Stevens – Christmas Unicorn
Christmas is kinda weird. But that's okay.
However, at this point, I feel like I'm the Christmas Unicorn.
But that's okay. You're the Christmas Unicorn too.
It's alright, I love you.
FMD — Christmas songs we like
The airing of grievances can be found elsewhere so we can use FMD to list the Christmas songs we actually like. I'm sure many will choose The Pogues Fairytale of New York, which is a fine selection but may I suggest checking out the Low Christmas Album. Some classics, some new chestnuts. Very cool and chill.
FMD: In Which We Air Grievances About Christmas Music
As suggested yesterday, now is the ideal time for us to gripe about those Christmas songs that we hate. Objectively speaking, "Last Christmas" by Wham is the worst Christmas song of all time, but others are bad too.
Also, drop a random list if you're AMR the mood strikes you.
New Kids On The Block – Funky Funky Christmas
Ask andbad you shall receive.
Craig Finn & Esmé Patterson – Just Like Christmas
Happy Xmas Eve, all. Hope everything has a great night. Stay safe, y'all!

FMD: The Best Laid Plans
I had some plans to put together a couple discussion topics - and hopefully I'll get to them at some point (recognizing that I'm covering both Christmas and New Year's... discussion might not be exactly happening on those days)(Can I get added for another month's rotation at the back end of the schedule?). But my kid puked all over the house last night, so I was addressing other things than planning this post. So I'm just gonna shoot from the gut and spew some words in this space so there's something going up for y'all to hurl your random 10 at.
Anyway, for today, how about we talk "non-standard" Christmas songs. I had a couple more to mention, but for now I'll just nominate this one as one everyone should add to their regular Christmas listening:

What holiday songs do you know that others should be adding?
Also, drop your lists!
