I like the Jimmy Eat World cover that they released as some sort of Christmas EP a few years back.

I think I bought that EP. I should listen to it this year (haven't listened to it yet).

oooh, does that Beach Boys album have "Little St. Nick" on it?

my favorites would have to be:
Winter Wonderland by Johnny Mathis
Jingle Bells by Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters

What can I say they were instilled in my brain from way back when and hold a special place in my heart.

and speaking of Xmas music, there were a couple years that Banana Republic sold a compiliation disc of Xmas songs but either remixed them or did them in a real loungy way. They are great spins on classic songs.

I love Cocteau Twins version of Winter Wonderland & Frosty the Snowman...
but I agree...Vince Guaraldi Trio's "Christmastime is Here" gets me all melancholy...can someone please hand me a tissue {sniffle}

The little drummer boy always puts the christmas spirit in me but it freaken annoys me at the same time

[miscorrections]

Traditionally speaking, Carol of the Bells. Also pretty much every villancico ever.

[brando4n82]

Weens version of Little Drummer Boy is Killlller

radiohead winter wonderland

Darlene Love's "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" from the Phil Spector Christmas album, is the greatest Christmas song of all time. Christmas songs, oddly enough, tend to lack much emotion considering their subject matter, but Love's song is a full-throated yearning.

[breakjaw]

How can no-one have mentioned "Happy Christmas - War Is Over" yet?The best ever.

[Grandma]

[Alchemy]

I love these CDs.

[Hannahrain]

[John Peel is My Co-pilot]

You are all wrong. The best Xmas song evah is The Pogues "Fairytale of New York".

You scumbag, you maggot, you cheap lousy ******
Happy Xmas, your arse, I pray god it's our last.


*sniff* That's just beautiful, man...


Okay, I'll second the vote for all things Spector at Xmas and chuck another couple in the mix.

Fountains of Wayne - I Want An Alien For Xmas
Kevin "Bloody" Wilson - Santa Claus, you cunt, where's me fuckin' bike?
Greg Lake - I Believe In Father Christmas

[childfacsimile]

nothing makes me get all sentimental about Christmas more than

Vince Guaraldi Trio - Skating
from Charlie Brown Christmas


that's gotta be one of the most beautiful songs ever made

I love the whole soundtrack to Charlie Brown's Christmas

When I was pretty young I made my parents buy that and after one song they wanted to stab it. Imagine how they felt after I made them put it on several times in a row.

The Jingle Cats will be in heavy rotation at my christmas party this year.
