Another playlist? Well, we just couldn't help ourselves. We've been jammin on these joints and had to share 'em with you. 10 smoking hot, get-down and make-it-a-funky Christmas grooves for y'all to enjoy. Don't miss this one, it cooks!

(We've listed the tracks & notes below just in case you don't use Spotify)
Santas Go A Bag Of Soul  | Soul Saints Orchestra | Lordy Lordy! You know what time it is? Christmas time. And no better way to get into the spirit with this burner (that bassline tho…!)
Merry Christmas, I Love You | James Brown | Merry Christmas, James Brown, we love you, tooooooo.Â
Lonely Christmas Tears | Bobby Allen & The Exceptions | The little known (sadly) Bobby Allen, bringing the smoke AND the fire. I mean, come on!
Merry Christmas Baby | Otis Redding | It might be criminal to leave such a classic soul standard from one of the all time greats. So we didn't.Â
Everyday Will Be Like A Holiday | William Bell | Not sure if this is technically a Christmas song, but we love it this time of year and hope it rings true everyday of the year for you and your honey.Â
Silent Night | Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings | Ohhhh, Baby! Ms. Jones and her Dap-Kings know how to set that groove deep in your Christmas soul. Tender and Mild? If you say so…
Every Day Is Christmas | Charles Bradley | And this is where the night turns even funkier. Pull your baby in tight and get to groovin' for this jam.
Merry Christmas Baby | Kenny Burrell | Bringing it down a touch and letting it smolder a bit, but that doesn't mean Kenny Burrell is holding back the heat! Too damn good, regardless if Otis sang it a few songs earlier.
The Christmas Song | Curtis King | The KING, who blew sax for Aretha Franklin's "Respect", plays about the most beautiful Christmas Song we've ever heard.
Presents For Christmas | Solomon Burke | Going out on a high note, Solomon Burke speaks the truth "the best thing that we can do is wish a Merry Christmas to you, and hope next year, Things will have a lot of joy". Couldn't be more true.
