I don't really do Christmas. I am not religious, I am not a major consumer, I don't have family living in my town. I still get really depressed around the holidays like everyone else, and this year I decided to make all my friends personalized mixes as therapy. I am going to call this the Christmas mix series, even though that's not entirely accurate.

This mix is for my friend Adrienne, who is a burlesque belly dancer. Her favorite bands are Pink Floyd and Floater. She also really likes Shakira and the like.
