XO's Free Christmas Gift to You


By S.A. Diaz

Although traditions are important to many people during the winter, bad music doesn’t have to be one. Start a new tradition like ditching the family for your favorite pub, feasting on Chinese food instead of turkey and ham, or picking up this year’s new XO Christmas compilation. While not the perfect holiday album (Pirey Gir sings well, but what in the name of Baby Jesus is You Make Me Feel So Young doing on a holiday album?) standouts like “Tennessee Christmas” by Drew Grow, The BAcksider’s “Christmas (Doesn’t Have to Be So Bad)” and The Very Foundation’s “All Lit Up (For Christmas)” give this dose of spiked holiday cheer its flavor.
