December Musical Giftstravaganza! 2013 Edition [More:]OMG I almost forgot! Once again I'd like to kick off our annual exchange of festive music during the month of December.

Please sign up for a day. On the given day, upload or link a track that you enjoy this time of year, with any commentary you'd like to add.

To get the party started, I'm offering a link to the free download of Beta Radio's new Christmas EP, The Songs the Season Brings Vol.3. I loved the first two - rootsy, Americana-ish original songs with some adapted classics - and am looking forward to spending time with this one, too.

And here's this year's available dates! Please copy the list, add your name, and repost for reference.

Here in NL we have Sinterklaas. It is held on december 5/6 and is mainly targeted towards little kids.
The classic Sinterklaas songs are rather whiny and annoying to the parents. This is partly since they're mainly from the 19th century. But also because of little childrens penchant for endless repetition.
So some clever folks have created themed childrens music based on (English) pop covers.

I'm not sure I'd advise listening to this for purely aesthetic reasons. But you may be interested to listen to a kerstlied based on "No woman no cry" (4th song).

(There are also Sinterklaasliedjes. Like this one based on "We are family" (first song).)

A bit more polished production values in kids music can be found here. That group called K3 is aimed at kids around the age of 3-5+. And it's ridiculously popular with small kids.
There's something intrigueing about the delivery.

Oh, YAY! I love this every year, and if hard drives were more reliable, my Christmas music collection would be totally awesome. I am in the middle of a horrid task, but will sign up later.

I'm just going to go ahead and post White Wine in the Sun right now so I can avoid the whole facepalm later in the month when I realize that I've posted it twice this year and once for each of the past two years, typically after someone else has already done so.

Much obliged.
