Hack’s Back Pages is taking the week off to celebrate with family and friends…as best we can, as the coronavirus and its new variants rage through our cities and states, throwing a wrench in the works of holiday plans and gatherings.

I figured I could contribute by providing some festive music and fun by including three different Christmas playlists from my Spotify library for your listening pleasure:

The first is a mix of classic rock Christmas-themed songs by vintage rockers.

The second is a potpourri of recent Christmas-themed tunes by newer-generation rock artists.

The third is a collection of Christmas parodies with amusing lyrics written/recorded by Bob Rivers and his troupe of comedic talents.

Here’s to a peaceful, SAFE holiday.
