I'm just that kind of sister-in-law.
So I looked for our Christmas music, which we've had for years and must have played when we were last here for Christmas in 2009.
I couldn't find it.
I looked in the Christmas boxes, I looked in with our other music, but those ol' Christmas CDs of ours were nowhere to be found.
Now, I must admit, I'm not a huge fan of the genre. Most of it makes me want to off myself. But we do own some pretty good Christmas music -- or, I guess, did, since it seems to be gone forever.
Hmmmmm, maybe I did shitcan it all back in 2009. Which, frankly, is fine with me. But it didn't do Kelly any good.
But I was able to come up with two CDs for her. One that was in our computer:
. . . and . . .
Kelly thought she was getting about 10 CDs and she got two. Hey, whaddyagonnado?
I casually mentioned my plight to my family in an email and guess what happened?
No, Santa didn't deliver -- he's busy these days, you know.
No, my two favorite Mixologist Elves pulled through: my sister MB and my brother-in-law Mr. Can-O-Beans.
Just look what they sent me:
Christmas (aka MB Christmas Mix 1)
Christmas Music (aka MB Christmas Mix 2)
A Very She & Him Christmas
Christmas, Chris Isaak
X-mas Mixie Poo 1
X-mas Mixie Poo 2
(And Kelly, I've got you covered for 2012.)

Aw. How about that family? :)
I know you don't believe in Spotify (it's not vinyl and it's not a CD), but I think your music sourcerers could make a bundle creating Spotify playlists.
LOVE! And I must burn a copy of your She & Him Christmas for myself!! xo
MB:
Done!
E.
Ellie, you do know that everybody is going to want a copy of ALL of them now, don't you? (hint, hint)
You've got some impressive peeps, though, that is fo' sure.
Love you and your anti-Chrsitmas music sentiments, and the fact that you now have more kick ass Christmas music than anyone I know ;-)
xo,
Beth
I have several bluegrass Christmas albums Including one by David Grisman. Shall I make copies to add to your collection?
