When do I get a chance to complain about that horrible new Knives Out show? It's painfully bad.

I hate hearing the same holiday music over and over, so I made a truly epic Vintage Xmas playlist with over 1,300 songs!!! I've been curating and adding to it for YEARS and its really fun! Just put it on and let it roll! open.spotify.com/playlist/60a...
