Since our regular posting day falls on Christmas this year and we, like most people are busy handling the insanity of the holidays, we're going to take it easy this week. But! That somehow means you get EXTRA songs this week! Periodically, Rob has put together a Christmas album for his family. Some of the songs were more successful than others. Apparently some people react violently to "Wonderful Christmastime." Who knew? The upshot is that you now get his greatest hits as a special, double-length playlist. Enjoy, and happy holidays! (Note: my family likes cussin'.)
