BURNING THE GROUND HOLIDAY EXCLUSIVE
NEW Bonus Tracks!
Season’s Greetings! I originally put this collection together for Christmas 2020. I wanted to bring it back this year for those who are new to Burning The Ground or those who may have missed it the first time around.
I hope that this Christmas compilation will become part of your holiday tradition every year. I put together some of my favorites as well as some well-known and lesser-known Christmas tracks.
My Christmas Wish is that this holiday season finds you all safe and well.

Paul, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Thank you for all you do and share, Merry Christmas and have a happy New Year.
Merry Christmas, Paul!
Merry Christmas, Paul! Thanks for including Sinéad O’Connor’s amazing “Silent Night”. Like “NCTY”, this one blew me away for its simplicity and vocal presence
Simply amazing – thanks so much, I have loved this compilation since you first posted it and it’s great to see it again. Merry Christmas, Paul.
Wonderful selections here Paul. I missed this before, so this is a nice surprise all round.
Hope you and your family have a great holiday season and your BTG readers.
Thank You Paul, Merry Christmas to You!!!
You make it like Christmas here all year round. I hope you get some fab presents this year and have a happy and healthy holiday with those that matter to you in your life.
Thanks, Paul!Super compilation.
And Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
Thank you, Paul, for this great selection of songs to celebrate the holidays.
And thanks for all the great tracks you sent our way in 2023.
I wish you the best this season and hope you get to spend some time with those who are near and dear to you.
Thank you, David. Happy Holidays 🙂
Merry Christmas, Paul! And: “Thank you for the Music” 😉
Merry Christmas, Dirk 🙂
Thank you Paul for such a great choice of Christmas songs.
If I can, I would like to have the instrumental version of the PSB song “It Doesn’t Often Snow At Christmas”, in case someone reading this have it in FLAC format.
Have a nice stay hopefully with your family / or the people who care the most for you.
Merry Christmas and thank you for all the great music, Paul!
Merry Christmas! Mike 🙂
I still have your “old” compilation, but I look forward to the 2 bonus tracks! THANK YOU and 🎅 MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! 🎄
Merry Christmas! Martika 🙂
Ah, so many great tracks in your compilation! Love the Corey Hart, Mavis Staples, Eurythmics, Lindsey Buckingham, Bangles, and on and on. Thank you for the added bonus tracks too! All the love and care you put into your transfers and compilations is evident, and so is your love for us “Paulies”! And we reciprocate it right back. Thank you and Merry Christmas to you and all the BTG elves with such great musical taste!!
Thank you, Retro Hound. Have a very Merry Christmas my friend 🙂
for the ABBA Bonus Track i had put “Little Things” the only ABBA Christmas song on the Playlist 🙂
Good one 🙂
Goodness me, Paul. How come I had never heard “Silent Night” by Sinead before? I´m melting. Thank you so much for this song alone. I myself do not celebrate Christmas but that does not mean I don´t appreciate songs of the season. Tears in my eyes, would you believe it….
Merry Christmas to all you lovely people out there.
It is beautiful. Merry Christmas Song and Dance 🙂
Thank you for the awesome Christmas playlist. Merry Christmas to you!
Merry Christmas, Mike 🙂
Dearest Paul, Many sincere thanks for this newly expanded Christmas compilation. I so love these personally created digital “mix tapes” curated by you. You are beautifully eclectic in your tastes, and I am so grateful for the time you spend on them too! It’s been a great year for music from you Paul! We can always expect the very best in songs from you. So much of what you post isn’t available elsewhere. I really do try to seek out the music I love at music retailers, but unfortunately there is so much missing and even digital downloads don’t have… Read more »
Thank you so much, Jeff for being the BTG super fan that you are I appreciate your love for all kinds of music. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Thank you Jeff and right back atcha! For he’s a jolly good fellow, Merry Christmas to all!
Merry Christmas, Jeff!
Hi Paul. As I have your previous versions already I went straight to the two new additions.
The Madonna track seems to from the 1986 CD which is good as the later remasters are horribly brickwalled.
But the Garth track is I think from a later compilation (possibly Ultimate Hits?) rather than the original 1992 CD issue of The Chase. That’s a shame because the version used is brickwalled…the 1992 CD wasn’t and had much better dynamic range.
Merry Christmas!
Thanks for all your work through the year Paul!
Happy Holidays!
🥂
Happy Holidays, 80sGuy 🙂
Thank you very much. What a wonderful compilation. Merry Christmas to you. While the meaning behind “We Shall Be Free is clear,” be sure to listen to other Garth Brooks Christmas song, “Ugly Christmas Sweater.” It might never leave your head. Happy Christmas.
Thank you, Merry Christmas! I love that Garth tune Christmas albums are worth checking out.
