Two years ago I put together ~9 hours of Christmas music that I didn't find grating. Lots of the classics, lots of instrumentals, a decent amount of blues and jazz. None of the worst offenders (Santa Baby, Baby It's Cold Outside, Two Front Teeth) but still thoroughly Christmas-y. Maybe you like mine or maybe you like someone else's list or maybe you should make your own. Regardless, I find it way easier to get in the spirit when I don't hate the tunes and I bet you will too. An upfront cost to compile but it pays dividends over time. Best played on shuffle.
