My girlfriend Erin and I have put together a Christmas Playlist for 2011 of better than average to pretty good Christmas music.

1. Crash Test Dummies - Good King Wenceslas - Jingle All the Way

2. Guster - Tiny Tree Christmas - The Christmas Gig: Two Thousand Ten

3. Julian Casablancas - Christmas Treat

4. Low - Just Like Christmas - Christmas

5. The Killers - Joseph, Better You Than Me (feat. Elton John, Neil Tennant) - (RED) Christmas - EP

I’ve never been a huge fan of Christmas music, some it’s OK, and there are a few songs I really like, but I usually have to be careful to avoid it until the few weeks right around Christmas or I risk getting burned out.

I’m borrowing (was inspired by) something from a blog I read pretty regularly called Planet Dan. In fact he just came out with his 2010 christmas playlist.

Me and Dan don’t exactly have the same musical tastes but there were some really good songs he found. So, between the stuff Dan has picked and a few Christmas albums/LPs I’ve collected that I like I figure I’ve got enough material to make my own Christmas music playlist this year.
