I dug out Charles Brown’s Cool Christmas Blues once again and it set the mood for the rest of the day. Enjoy yours.

Excellent Christmas playlist.... Although the song that makes it feel like Christmas for me, Father Christmas - The Kinks, is missing. Not a fan?
Have you heard the Phantom Planet cover of the Mariah tune?
Nice! RIP Chris Rea. "Driving Home For Christmas" is a personal favorite.
