For this year's Christmas post I have created my own home made compilation. I came across an article from a music magazine newsletter that listed twenty "alternative" Christmas tunes as opposed to the usual standards. Some will be familiar and others not so, and a few rarities as well. Overall an interesting selection that will have you rocking on Christmas day!
