World Music Central is going to do our annual Christmas gift guide a little differently this year. To avoid the stress and save time, the World Music Christmas gift guide will offer up a daily quickie gift list for the holidays. These quickie lists will offer up a selection of music inspired gift suggestions for all those on your list and all without having to muddle through a great long list that will only be lost in the shuffle.
You have things to do. You have people to meet. You have lists. You have parties to plan. You have to get that squeak in your car fixed. You have to figure out what that weird frozen thing is in your freezer before the holidays. Well, we’re here to help. So, be good, be kind and remember those less fortunate than yourself this holiday season. And, remember that alcoholic beverages can help if the natives get too annoying.
Here’s your first quickie list:

TJ Nelson is a regular CD reviewer and editor at World Music Central. She is also a fiction writer. Check out her latest book, Chasing Athena’s Shadow.
Set in Pineboro, North Carolina, Chasing Athena’s Shadow follows the adventures of Grace, an adult literacy teacher, as she seeks to solve a long forgotten family mystery. Her charmingly dysfunctional family is of little help in her quest. Along with her best friends, an attractive Mexican teacher and an amiable gay chef, Grace must find the one fading memory that holds the key to why Grace’s great-grandmother, Athena, shot her husband on the courthouse steps in 1931.
Traversing the line between the Old South and New South, Grace will have to dig into the past to uncover Athena’s true crime.
