Description:

Welcome to the second annual Christmahanukwanzaakah swap! I did this last year and it was so rad to get all these awesome songs for Christmas time.

I love Christmas/ Holiday songs, and what I love even more are covers to those holiday songs! Christmahanukwanzaakah is a combo name for Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanza/etc. and this swap is for anyone who loves the winter holiday time!

However this swap will not be for the traditional songs we all know. We will be swapping music that are either originals on the subject of the holiday or covers redone in acoustic, punk rock, metal, accordian, etc.

Each person has 1 partner and sends 1 cd. THE MUSIC IS SENDERS CHOICE! The requirements are that the cd must have at least 14 songs on it (but hey, the more the merrier!) Please include a list of the songs and the artist. Hearts for any extras and cover art.

Song examples are: Adam Sandler's "Chanukah Song", Plain White Ts "Christmas Won't Be The Same Without You.", Unwritten Law - Unwritten Christmas, Relient k "sleigh ride", Cartel - rocking around the christmas tree, Phantom planet - winter wonderland, the Scene Aesthetic- silent night, etc. (these are all examples from one genre...it can be ANY genre).

If your partner sends you a cd with track list and 14 songs, these deserve a 5, even if you don't like all the songs. Like I said, hearts for cover art or any extras you want to send.

I'm making the turn around only a week to send out because you don't have to make the cd based off of your partners music.

I'm making this an open swap so that everyone can be included because that's what this season is about. The only requirement is that you must have a completed profile. I hope you all have Happy Holidays!

I'm slightly confused by the name & also artists listed...Does it have to be 'alternative' music or is anything that's not traditional holiday music okay!?

@washingtonmaverick it can be any type of music that is not traditional holiday music. The artists listed were just for example because that type of music is my preference (music sent is senders choice). The name Christmahanukwanzaakah is a mixture of Christmas, Hannukah and Kwanzaa. Its an all inclusive title so that people who don't celebrate Christmas can also swap and share some of their holiday themed music. This isn't solely for Christmas only music. The "alternative cd" portion of the title does not refer to the alternative genre of music, it is being used as an adjective meaning "to exist outside of tradition." I totally understand how this could have been confusing. I am sorry for not being more clear and I would be happy to answer any more questions if you have any. I hope to see you in the swap! :)

I will also edit my swap description to try and be more clear.
