Good morning and if you celebrate it, Merry Christmas!
If you need some tunes to motivate you while you cook today or a soundtrack other than ripping through paper, here you go! It’s with a tear in my eye that it’s the final day for me to listen to Wham’s “Last Christmas” and The Waitresses’ “Christmas Wrapping” on repeat before Charming Husband can legitimately request that I turn them off.
And for Dec. 25, here’s one final Audio Files Christmas entry, Darlene Love’s “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home).” Stay safe and have a wonderful holiday and as always, the full list is at the bottom of the entry. Queue up the computer and prepare to rock out.
And if you’re still looking to create a last-minute Christmas pageant, don’t forget the Band Aid “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” commentary.
