Most of the content on this particular collection is filler at best and crapola at worst. There are some gems on here though, thus the 3 star rating. To make it easy for you, I have put a star (*) after the tracks that are worth listening to. That way, it can help you determine whether it is worth purchasing for you. Really, the best songs on here that you can't get elsewhere are "Santa's Yule Log" by Andy Dick, and "Sometimes You Have to Work on Christmas" by Harvey Danger. The other songs that are absolutely great might be rare, but are not necessarily exclusive to here. And if the list of songs are up now for this release on Amazon, don't be a jerk and click not useful for my listing, because when this was written, there was no track list, and the list you see is a result of me first putting this up here. Have a good Christmas.

L.A. based Radio station KROQ releases a Christmas CD every year, hosted by deejays Kevin & Bean. This was the 1998 release. It features a mix of Christmas songs and comedy routines. Most of the songs are good and most of the comedy bits are funny. Several of the tracks are only available on this CD, so it's well worth seeking out.
