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:
