The Easy Listener's Guide to the Holidays - Retro Christmas

Christmas is upon us and for most of us this means less work and more time to enjoy the Yuletide traffic in EDSA. Nothing gets people into the spirit more than watching the seconds turn to minutes and hours in SLEX while you and your significant other exchange pleasantries about the friendly texts you’ve been getting from someone she doesn’t know.

“Retro Christmas” is a mixtape created by the guys from Ultra Swank. It’s a compilation of 25 well-loved Christmas carols as interpreted by the coolest cats from the 50s and the 60s. Jet-age, space-age, Mad Men music, whatever - this mix is sure to lighten up even the most compromising of situations.

Ho ho ho.
