About Christmix
In 2006 my friend Brian Sanders, realizing there was a abundance of truly quality Christmas music available but rarely heard, decided to use his keen musical appreciation to create a yearly collection of hand-selected unique and enjoyable Christmas songs to celebrate the season. In 2011 Brian and I decided it would be fun to create custom art work for each album. This page serves and an archive of each Christmix's song selection and artwork.
If you'd like to recreate the albums for yourself, simply download the PDF's of the artwork (when available), and download the songs via iTunes, or your music store or choice. Then burn to some blank CDs you had lying around, and/or add to your iPod. Once you're done it's time to sit back and take in the season with your copy of Christmix and some hot chocolate.
If you'd really like to nerd-out with your Christmixes and add the cd art to your iTunes account, use Brian's handy instructions.
