Crucial Track for December 11, 2025

"Linus and Lucy" by Los Straitjackets

What's a song you associate with your favorite holiday?

When I was in high school I exclusively referred to Christmas music as "Christmas noise" because I so hated the music I heard both in the mall and at church. Then my local radio station played The Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping.

Now I have an actual December playlist and this cover of Linus and Lucy has been track 1 on that playlist since I first discovered it.
