Hands down, Feliz Navidad.

Due to financial circumstances beyond my control, tacos will be served in place of the Christmas feast this year.

Blue Christmas - Elvis Presley

I play Low's Christmas EP for the entire month of December. It's gorgeous.

i agree with stewie, re: low's 'christmas' ep

also, "white christmas, white sperm" by the gerogerigegege, alien sex fiend's "stuff the turkey", and any of james brown's xmas songs...

white christmas, hands down. and i'm not even christian (though i guess neither was irving berlin)

I just learned Little Drummer Boy. That's a good one.

Also, gimme Vince Guaraldi any day. That puts me in a 'wistful bag' big time!

I know it's cheating, but since someone else put down Low's xmas ep, i feel like it's ok. There is a famous 50's christmas compilation that came out on Hollywood called "Merry Christmas Baby" thats been reissued about a jillion times. It has the most wonderfull selection of semi-depressing xmas tunes by guys like Charles Brown. I always play this at xmas.

Charles Browns first version of Merry Christmas Baby, it may be credited to Johnny Moores 3 blazers, is probably my all time favorite xmas song.

That Low ep sure is good.

I always felt that "Under the Christmas Fish" by the Didjits captured the essence of holiday revelry.
Thank God for our beloved Jebus.

"It's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you," or whatever that song is called, sung by Ella Fitzgerald. It comes on in the department stores once in a while. She sings like she's just horsing around & having fun, but of course her voice is spectacular.
