So this is Christmas...
Well, it's that time of year again - it's the Christian festival of shopping, known as 'Christmas'. With just 3 shopping days to go, we thought if you can't beat them we might as well join them, so here's a selection of Christmas related tunes, albums, movies and podcasts. Go and download these tracks onto your MP3 player, settle down in front of a log fire, pour yourself a glass of mulled wine and have a very merry Christmas.

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year 
This is not just a Wippit subscribers newsletter, this is a (sumptuous) Christmas Wippit subscribers newsletter. And this 1963 track is easily this year's big Christmas hit, thanks to a certain advert. Anyone whose cockles are not warmed by this ode to Christmas cheer surely is a Scrooge.

Asobi Seksu 
Don't worry indie kids - just because you love guitars doesn't mean you can't join with the Christmas fun. It's been a great year for American-Japanese shoegazers Asobi Seksu, and this Christmas cover of the Sex Pistol's Merry Christmas (I Don't Want To Fight Tonight) is a storming performance. Skuzzy guitar punk, with sleigh bells and glockenspiels - it really really works.

Pipa
Or maybe you're after something a bit more smooth? When we found Pipa's Twelve Days albums, we could hardly believe that there was a full album of jazzy covers of Christmas tunes - it's a perfect relaxing album. We particular like The Christmas Song (Chestnuts), but Santa Claus Is Coming To Town is our favourite. Quirky, but accessible - nice.

Tim Vine
The king of the one liners has just sent us his first ever podcast, and better still, it's Christmas themed. For the uninitiated, Tim is the chap who held the record for the most jokes told in an hour (499), and in this special we wondered if he was trying to better it. So have a listen and join Tim and his friends Baron Landscape, Martin Pritt and Son Christmas for a masterclass in entertainment.

My Christmas Party Album
If you're looking for something for the kids (or even the grownups after a few sherries) you can't go far wrong with My Christmas Party Album. Yes, it's cheesy as anything, but with some creative covers (Paul McSleigh - Wonderful Christmas Time, Elfin John - Step in To Christmas, Merry Fairy - All I Want For Christmas Is You) it's guaranteed to have you dancing with your drunken uncle. We should probably warn you that the Crazy Frog appears on this compilation.

Christmas Karaoke
On a cheesy note, if you just want to do things yourselves we've got a few albums loaded with backing tracks. There's 4 volumes (volume 1, volume 2, volume 3, volume 4) for your indulgence, featuring everything from the sacred (O Little Town Of Bethlehem, O Come All Ye Faithful, Hark! The Herald Angels Sing) to the wickedly secular (I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus, Baby It's Cold Outside, Santa Claus Is Coming To Town). And to cap it off, download Auld Lang Syne - we'll see you next year.
