The Three Wise Men "Thanks for Christmas"
Spot the theme, or, they call it a smart playlist for a reason. And yes there are duplicates, but you can't say thanks for an angel too many times, or be too thankful for what you got. And you know who you are, friends.
George, I was gonna do a "Thanks" list but only had 7 songs in iTunes with that word in the title. (EWF's "Gratitude" would've given me 8.)

An Explorer's Club Thanksgiving. (Yes, I had to cheat to get to 11, since I only had one turkey, but the bonus was at least a random pick from among my Bird songs.) Happy Thanksgiving, all.
No albums as I did this piecemeal over time so got lazy, sorry.
