NINE.

'tis the season to be jolly!

Of course, Christmas music has been playing on the radio since early November - talking about how early is entirely different entry altogether. And as it's the radio, there's no such thing as playing a little variety even on the holidays.

Until that big day next week, here are a few Christmas songs that should be on your playlist:

Feist - Please Be Patient
Julian Casablancas - I Wish It Was Christmas Today
Banu Gibson and the New Orleans Hot Jazz - I'll Be Home for Christmas
Pete Rugglo Orchestra - Jingle Bells Mambo
Marvin Gaye - Purple Snowflakes
