3) Click on Artist and change it to Genre. Click in the empty text box to the right of 'contains' and type Christmas (or Holiday if Christmas doesn't come up). Did you notice you only needed to type in a few letters before it filled the rest in for you?

4) Click OK. Save the playlist as christmas. You now have a playlist with just Christmas music. Play it on shuffle during your next Christmas party. This isn't just a playlist, it is a smart playlist. Next year when you buy a new Christmas album it will automatically show up in this playlist (as long as the genre is listed as christmas).
