I had a good time putting together a Christmas Mix last year, but with the huge amounts of Christmas music already flying around the web, I decided against a mix this year and thought Id just link you up to some of the best Christmas tunes on the web that Ive found. Even so, Ive got lots to share today. First and foremost, go over to WOXY and check out the Holiday Mixer. Its a dedicated stream of all Christmas music that is running 24/7 through Christmas day, its much better than any mix I could provide.
Over the past couple years, the Christmas music game has sped up quite a bit in the indie world, mostly thanks to Sufjan Stevens. He has more Christmas music recorded than lots of the bands profiled on this site have altogether. Here are links to three zip files containing loads of Sufjan Christmas material, all before his current Christmas release, Songs for Christmas.
Here is my favorite track from the new Christmas material……
Sufjan Stevens – Get Behind Me Santa!

With all the great blogs these days in the indie rock spectrum, there arent a whole lot of untapped Christmas tunes out there. DJ Riko has been doing a mashup type thing for Christmas for years now, and the 2006 edition was just made live today.
