It’s incredible how many lovely covers of traditional holiday songs — Christmas and everything else under the sun — popped into our inbox this year. Just as family get-togethers, work potlucks and visions of sugarplums are traditions every December, so are the renditions of classics like “Frosty The Snowman” and “White Christmas” by underground talents and mega-global superstars alike. Our tradition here at TWJ is the year-end list, which there will be plenty of in the days to come. But for now, here’s a collection of some brand new, some classic, and some off-kilter songs of the season. Happy Holidays! from all of us here at The Wounded Jukebox.
