Hazel-Rah's Helliday Mix 1,2,3,4,5,6,7: All good Mixtapes Go To Heaven
Why it seems that only yesterday it was Thanksgiving, oh wait...its still November and the bombardment has already begun.....Ohhhhh Holy crap...the seasons fast approaching .....Who doesn’t love this old Pagan holiday? Twenty five days of overplayed tunes, skeeting snow, coughing in your face cold infested members of the public, and saccharine sweet “very special” episodes of sitcoms and assorted television specials.
There is no escape, try as you might. So here is my annual collection of “carols “to cool your roasting chestnuts. Crack open a bottle of spirits of the season, and pull on your cracker. Give batteries this season with a note saying “Toys not included” and settle in for a spin of this....Hazel-Rahs Helliday mixtape 7
