A free Omega? Haha--no.
Most might not even have their trees yet, but this will make a fun present to pull out & play when putting up the decorations--or a nice mix to avoid those that get too much radio play.
This is a zip-file of my favorite and lesser played holiday mp3's that I put together after purchasing a few years ago, and hopefully you will enjoy it as much as I have. Some tracks change a bit or get added on with each passing Christmas, but the list basically stay the same. I've tried to incorporate some lesser-known pieces that haven't been played to death over the air-waves, a few that aren't technically Christmas tunes but for personal reasons still feel as such, and perhaps a few proverbial songs, but hopefully performed in a slightly differently arrangement than what you're used to.
I certainly hope this will put one in the Christmas spirit, if you aren't getting there already.
I've put them in MP3 format & uploaded it using Sharebeee, so simply click the link below, then choose which site you wish to download it from, then wait for the countdown and save it to your hard-drive; you can simply add them to iTunes or burn them to CD. 17 tracks in all:

The "Christmas spirit", the "Season of giving", or "Holiday joy"--whatever you prefer to call it--I hope this Holiday season will be an exceptionally good one for you all. A sense of happiness & contentment tends to make one feel a bit less selfish, and I hope that others will enjoy themselves, reveling in the same; to take part in a little more caring, a little more giving, and hopefully a little more understanding. Perhaps it's merely habitual for us to only concentrate on selflessness and sharing around this particular time of year, but I truly think it is a noble thing to do, perhaps even virtuous: to always reflect on the trials and tribulations that many have faced this year (including some of our very own members), and hopefully come out a bit more compassionate and wiser for it in the end. So here's a little something in hopes of kicking off that wonderful feeling, and hopes that 2010 will see a brighter & better year for all of us; the world over.
Take care; I hope you guys & gals enjoy, and have a very, merry Christmas!!
