Greetings, RAMH visitors! If you’ve been here in previous Decembers, you probably know the drill — or think you do, anyhow. While there’s still a playlist featured below, it is unchanged from the 2020 edition… thanks to Road Trip 2021 and its abundant distractions, challenges, and schedule-related stresses.

So please, enjoy the 130 songs here, with my apologies for there not being 140 (heh). Remember that my favorite way to listen is to click the little “Popout” button at top left — the resulting mix will be randomized, and if you don’t like the order it offers just refresh the popout window until you get a satisfactory sequence.

With luck, in December 2022 I’ll return to the routine: ten new songs added to the end of the list each year. Until then, please stay safe and happy this season… and also (the 2020s version of the wish) healthy!
