CHRISTMAS JUST WON'T BE CHRISTMAS WITHOUT

My Christmas mixtape.

For some families, the day after Thanksgiving is for Black Friday shopping and decorating the Christmas tree. At my house, the day after Thanksgiving meant that it was socially acceptable for my mom to have our taped-from-TV version of White Christmas on continuous play. We could also listen to Christmas music. In the 80s and 90s, my dad devoted lots of time to making mix tapes. Our Christmas house blend combined my mom's and dad's favorites with a heaping side of Elvis.

I wouldn't have it any other way.
