    Christmas really isn't my holiday, but I dig the spirit and music.

    In no particular order, and I'm sure I forgot a dozen or two...

    Pretty much any silly, spoof version of a Christmas song gets a thumbs up from me -- Walking 'Round in Women's Underwear, anything.

    The Chipmunks - The Chipmunk Song
    The Royal Guardsmen - Snoopy's Christmas
    Brenda Lee - Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree
    Bruce Springsteen - Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
    Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas
    John Lennon & Yoko Ono - Happy Christmas (War is Over)
    Elmo and Patsy - Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer
    Jose Feliciano - Feliz Navidad
    Eartha Kitt - Santa Baby
    Chuck Berry - Run Rudolph Run
    Paul McCartney - Wonderful Christmastime
    Spike Jones - All I Want For Christmas is My Two Front Teeth
    Burl Ives - Holly Jolly Christmas
    Lou Monte - Dominick, The Italian Christmas Donkey
    David Bowie & Bing Crosby - Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy
    Gene Autry or Burl Ives - Rudolph, The Red Nosed Reindeer
    Leon Redbone & Dr. John - Frosty the Snowman (Autry and Durante are just "meh" after this)
    Cocteau Twins - Frosty the Snowman
    Eric Idle - F****** Christmas (NEW Holiday Classic! well not "new," but ya know)
    Vince Gauraldi Trio - Linus & Lucy (sometimes, I want a continuous 10-hour loop of this, and that whole album is great)
    Stevie Wonder - Someday At Christmas
    Stevie Wonder - What Christmas Means To Me
    Vince Vance - All I Want For Christmas Is You (not the same song as Mariah's)
    Pogues & Kristy MacColl - Fairytale of New York
    Kurtis Blow - Christmas Rappin'
    Run DMC - Christmas in Hollis
    The Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping
    James Brown - Santa Claus Go Straight to the Ghetto
    The Singing Dogs - Jingle Bells (yup! I'm that guy!)
    Mannheim Steamroller - Deck the Halls
    Bing Crosby & Andrews Sisters - Mele Kalikimaka
    Maybe any of those Bing songs.
    Elvis Presley - Blue Christmas (maybe the only time I can dig Elvis)
    Jackson 5 - I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
    Jackson 5 - Grown-Up Christmas
    John Cougar Mellencamp - I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus (that whole first A Very Special Christmas album)
    Jon Anderson - Three Ships
    Wham - Last Christmas
    She & Him - Christmas Waltz, Wish... that whole album
    Cee Lo & Muppets - All I Need Is Love
    Ramones - Merry Christmas (I Don't Want To Fight Tonight)
    Slade - Merry Xmas Everybody
    Pretenders - 2000 Miles
    Louis Armstrong - Zat You Santa Claus
    Baby It's Cold Outside (it's been done so many times I've stopped caring which version)

    One of the best elements of Christmas here in the UK is the annual roll-out of 'the Christmas songs'. These are songs from the last millennium that are deeply and fondly ingrained into the heart and soul of millions of Brits. From early December onwards, public spaces across our fair land reverberate to a group of much beloved Christmas 'anthems' that have become synonymous with the festive period. Pubs, bars, restaurants, arcades, shopping centres, you name it, across the UK are currently belting out the likes of these:

    Fairytale Of New York – The Pogues with Kirsty MacColl
    All I Want For Christmas Is You – Mariah Carey
    Last Christmas – Wham! (a particular favourite of mine that, which is a tad out of character)
    I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday – Wizzard
    Merry Xmas Everybody – Slade
    Do They Know It’s Christmas – Band Aid
    Merry Christmas Everyone – Shakin’ Stevens
    Driving Home For Christmas – Chris Rea
    Stay Another Day – East 17
    Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree – Brenda Lee
    Mistletoe And Wine - Cliff Richard
    The Power Of Love - Frankie Goes To Hollywood (a Christmas song by default really as it happened to be a Christmas No.1 in 1984)
    Step Into Christmas - Elton John

    These tracks and more are almost a national institution here in the UK. And then there's my favourite:

    Lower The Pissing Winch!

    As soon as Thanksgiving was in the rear-view mirror, my 13-year-old son began adding Christmas songs to his playlist. Some notable songs he plays on the morning ride to school are: "The Twelve Days of Christmas by Straight No Chaser, "Last Christmas" by Wham!, and "Mary Did You Know?" by Pentatonix. I find it interesting since these aren't songs that either my wife or I have played during the Holidays. I keep meaning to ask him if this is the kind of stuff that his fellow 7th-graders are listening to.
    Pull List: The Black Hammer, Bitch Planet, Copperhead, Hellboy/BPRD, Monstress, Ms. Marvel, Southern Cross

    Since Albert Finney passed away in February of this year, I'd like to add "Father Christmas", a bouncy mocking song about Scrooge sung by some street urchins. Sometimes maligned, I really enjoyed "Scrooge" a musical version of A Christmas Carol

    Yes, another of my favorites! I loved Albert Finney in this 1970 movie.

    Yes, me too! I have always watched this whenever it is on television.

    To me, it is the best of what I call "modern" showing---anything after the 1951 classic with Alastair Simm--- up to today. To me, this Albert Finney version was the last excellent one made.
