The Christmas Episode!

These were compiled from a mess of compilations. There are really only a few worth mentioning: Maybe This Christmas (and MTC "Too" and MTC "Tree"); 50,000,000 Elves Fans Can't Be Wrong; The O.C. Mix 3 (...yes, don't laugh); and Plastic Snow: 16 Swell Songs by Local Bands Benefiting Los Angeles' Midnight Mission. The last one is so significantly swell, and so well-used in this show
, that I've asterisk'd every song from that album. You're welcome!
