In May of 2019, The Sweet Things unleashed their debut record In Borrowed Shoes On Borrowed Time. At that time I spoke to bassist Sam Hariss about the record and his influences. That conversation and Sam’s deep musical knowledge made him an easy choice to be the first person to share a list of favorite Christmas songs. As you go through Sam’s list of 10 tracks you’ll find some songs you know, some you should know and some you never knew existed and hear his stories about each one. It was one of the most fun interviews I’ve ever done!
