Blue Christmas

UPDATE 01/12/2008 – If you are looking for indie Christmas music for this year, please take a look at Blue Christmas 2008

I’ve come home for Christmas after a week long Christmas celebration in Edinburgh which always suprises me by being tastefully decorated. The parties did mean me getting a couple of photos censored on Facebook though, but nevermind ;)
Anyway, in contrast to most the other indie blogs about which will be doing some kind of Indie Christmas Mix, I have decided that some songs are just never bettered – and here they are, along with links to buy the relevant (mostly Christmas) albums, or to donate to their charities:

dave,

It appers that fileden has deleted/moved them. I haven’t been asked to take them down, so I’ll put them back up on filelodge.
Here they are on YSI for the moment:
John Denver & The Muppets – Twelve Days of Christmas
Bing Crosby & David Bowie – Little Drummer Boy

Seems this is quite a popular download so I’ve added an alternative download link for the whole mix

I am trying to get a copy of the Tipitina Foundation Musicians (Studio 60) – O Holy Night.mp3 file. My computer crashed and I was not able to copy this file. Would you be able to help me?
