Indie Christmas Mixtape

I'm not one to criticize the christmas classics, but every now and again a little update is needed. I mean how many times can you honestly listen to The Carpenters without going at least slightly crazy. Once in a blue moon, a new song can even turn into an christmas classic. Just think about Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas Is You -- which is now a staple for christmas radio stations. Did I mention it's also the best selling ringtone of all time?

While none of the songs off this playlist will likely become the next christmas smash, if you're looking to add a little spice to your otherwise overplayed and outdated christmas playlist -- look no further.
