Favorite Christmas Song(s)

I know this topic is X-tremely polarizing and could be a major groaner for some (old cynical, jaded bastards like me). Yes, the season is upon us, and the crass consumer commercialism of it all, along with the overly religious stuff can really get to a person.

But what are your favorite Christmas tunes? I tend to favor either conventional tunes by unconventional artists, or colorful, interesting, original songs with some humor and humanity to them.

Some favorites:

John Prine - Christmas in Prison

Tom Waits - Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis

Robert Earl Keen - Merry Christmas from the Family (No. 2 Live Dinner version)

Christmas at the Brothel - James Steinle

The Pogues - Fairytale of New York (Yes, singer frontman Shane MacGowan just died in the last week and was a personal hero)

Anyway, I have lots of others but interested in what others like. It's ok if you list good old chestnuts. I just saw that Brenda Lee was back on the charts with Rockin' around the Christmas Tree!

"Feliz Navidad" - José Feliciano

And the good ol' "Jingle Bells"

"Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer" - Gene Autry version

"Little Drummer Boy" - some people hate the song but it's always been a favorite of mine.

Political correctness is a doctrine fostered by the delusional illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Yep, got to agree with you on all of these except maybe Little Drummer Boy, haha, although I don't mind the versions by Johnny Cash or Joan Jett. There's a lot of versions though. Not sure about that David Bowie/Bing Crosby one though, lol.

Now we're talkin', Mr jewels. Gotta be the sexiest version of this song, beating out Even Eartha Kitt and Gwen Stefani.

Maybe I'm a little strange, but I always smile when I hear "Grandma got run over by a reindeer".  ;D

Hi Jamie.

You can't go wrong with Elvis! I have several copies of that album on vinyl and love that song also.
