Every year, my family pulls out a mix CD burned for me by an acquaintance around 2007. We shared a love of less typical Christmas music and he had suggestions for things 20-year-old me had likely never heard. It’s still the best Christmas mix I’ve ever heard.
Today, I share it with you all.

I trained this gentleman at when I was part of the college/community radio station on my campus, WESU FM Middletown. He was much older, a community member. I no longer know what his name was, I just remember how nice he was. And my family still returns to his gift yearly, and I love that a lot.
Also, yesterday a friend told me their family annually uses a very different Christmas mix I made and shared with them several years ago, so the tradition continues.
