A Christmas Gift For The OT (continuing TD's most beloved holiday tradition)

No, not that tradition.
As everyone knows, since 2009 I have posted A Kafkaesque Christmas, a 4 CD collection of Christmas songs.
At first I posted links to sites where uploaded all the music. But a couple of years ago TD guidelines changed, and such links are no longer allowed. (All the upload sites I used have gone out of business anyway). And I couldn't figure out a way to redo it -- at least, a way that didn't require a large amount of effort on my part.
But like Tevye, I believe in tradition. (Even Lou Gehrig once batted leadoff and immediately left the game to keep up his playing streak) So here is A Kafkaesque Christmas.
Maybe next year I'll figure out how to work it. But for now, look at this as a really cool playlist of songs to look for on YouTube.
