Grumpy Beastie's Other Lair

So apparently I have a Christmas/Winter/Yule playlist?

I was trying to clean up my Spotify account (I follow too many podcasts and playlists) and I discovered I apparently made a holiday playlist for Winterfest in July last year (2022). It needs some editing for sure, and I haven't figured out how to link it here, but I thought I would share the song list just the same.
