What makes a ‘perfect’ Christmas song playlist? Spike and his kid have been working on their ultimate holiday mix together for years.

There are some rules! No more than two versions of the same song can grace the list. And no more than two songs by any artist can appear (although an exception has been made for The King of Rock and Roll).

More on Christmas: With rain on its way Thursday, is a Western Washington White Christmas possible this year?

The songs on Spike and Darby’s Perfect Christmas Mix have been debated and hard-won. You do have to be a little discerning on the naughty or nice list, after all.

From our family to yours!
