To help you celebrate it in the most fun way possible (and save you from the Boney M Christmas album haunting every shopping mall and petrol garage stereo), here's a treat you can share with all your friends and family...
Plaat Japie presents: "A Gettin' Down For Christmas Mix" (DOWNLOAD)
It features "Santa Claus Got Stuck In My Chimney", "Santa Claus Is Smoking Reefer", a cover of Wham's "Last Christmas" by The Puppini Sisters and other merry selections of hip-hop, funk, rock 'n roll, swing, jazz, rare groove, retro pop, reggae and more.
Go get it now and create a playlist for it on your iPod asap!
And need be, it's also conveniently just under the hour and 20 minutes mark for writing straight to CDR.
