If you haven't been able to tell from the eleven Yule Tunes mixes I put together this year (easily found in one spot on the Yule Tunes Page), I picked up a fair bit of holiday music this year.
From that haul, here are some tracks and albums I recommend...
I am setting this to auto-post in the wee hours of the morning December 4th, 2020, which is the last Bandcamp Friday of 2020... but if you happen upon it afterwards, it will still be a great list of the many, many albums on Bandcamp that I recommend wholeheartedly...
Firstly, you can find my twitter thread of Bandcamp recommendations from May through November below:
In order to support musicians, Bandcamp is waiving their revenue share for the first Friday of May, June and July 2020 (5/1, 6/5 and 7/3), making the first Friday a great day to buy music and support artists struggling with canceled gigs and tours.

And, I've already put together a list of 25 great charitable albums, Albums to be Thankful For... plus three posts of Xmas music (Albums, Tunes, Discoveries), most of which can be found on Bandcamp. Over on my gaming blog, Antagonist Relations, you can find my series of 'Music to Game To' which features many albums that are on bandcamp that make good tabletop RPG soundtracks & inspiration.
As always, you can see my whole Bandcamp collection at bandcamp.com/schwarzz
Having already shared some of my favorite Xmas albums, here are some Holiday tracks that I quite enjoy. These songs might not be on a whole Christmas themed album but they are still very much in the yule-time spirit...
You might not imagine that I enjoy Christmas music, but I do, though several winter seasons working retail/food service has given me a hearty allergy to the lowest denominator pop-Christmas schlock.
What I do love though, is unexpected and eclectic Christmas music that both subverts and celebrates the season. Here are some albums that will spice up your Yule season...
