Jill's Holiday Songs 2000, Jill Sobule (self-issued)

Jill sold this EP directly from her website, and it's worth having, even if you're not one of her fans. "Merry Christmas From the Family" is the Robert Earl Keen song she performed on the You Sleigh Me compilation, "Christmas Is the Saddest Day of the Year" was out on Velvel's A Christmas to Remember, and I don't know where else you could find "Jesus Was a Dreidel Spinner," a witty little slice of thrash-klezmer. Oh, I know: see below. As a bonus she throws in "Mom," a bit of social commentary that ends up as an ode to the title character. As this was a private issue, it's not surprising that it went away. The tunes, however, got another life on a subsequent Jill issue; read here and here.
