Christmas songs are done with/by puppets and cartoon characters.

I loved them as a kid.

for my first case of holiday melancholy.

I get a little sad thinking about John Denver.

But the Muppets make me happy.

Jeeze BILLY!

Chilled holiday grooves and classic winter lounge tracks. (Kid and Parent safe!)

Christmas classics redone in a chilled-out manner make for a stress-free holiday.

Yep, I remember him well.

Hark the Harold Angel sing. That's a common one I think.

And I heard "Round young virgin mother and child". I always thought Mary was a round young virgin.

When someone else replied that he was familiar with 'Occam' but had never seen 'Occum,' I couldn't help but reply:

Hark, the Harelip Angels Sing
Deck The Halls with Poison Ivy

Maybe that's just me

that's one I actually like..... but it gets put down a lot here in the lounge.

Hee Haw!

Christmas time songs I like, including Paul McCartney's much-maligned "Wonderful Christmastime"

Regarding the latter, this from Wikipedia:

----snip----

The song continues to receive substantial airplay every year, although music critics consider it to be one of McCartney's poorest compositions.[8][9][10] Beatles author Robert Rodriguez has written of "Wonderful Christmastime": "Love it or hate it, few songs within the McCartney oeuvre have provoked such strong reactions."[9] In 2006, pop-culture website Retrocrush.com voted it "Worst Christmas Song of All Time",[9][11] and the song tied with “Feliz Navidad” by José Feliciano for the same honour in a 2005 survey by Toronto's CityNews.[12]

Including royalties from cover versions, it is estimated that Paul McCartney makes $400,000 a year from this song, which puts its cumulative earnings for this song at near $15 million.[13]

----snip----

Paul even makes lots of money off the bad songs. He's laughing all the way to the bank.

Extra points if you know who wrote it.

I cheated and learned the name of the songwriter, so I won't mention it. But if he's the "cornfield" guy I'm thinking of...wow!

ETA: That's a good song he wrote. A real good song.

but I love hearing these I never knew about!

Holy shit! It's Christmas!

are fun!

This thread is giving me some good ideas for some new holiday music. Well, old music that would be new to hear.

... just for you!

Thanks!

It ain't Christmas without that clear high voice.

Edit to add:

and available at Amazon. Thanks for the idea!

I listened while cooking and my husband said "IT'S THANKSGIVING, NOT CHRISTMAS!"

But I think we are close enough now.

I don't know that I've heard her before. I'll have to look for this cd.

Thanks!

Here Comes Christmas by Green Sparkle Frog.

...Thanks for listening!

...of the more, shall we say, TWISTED variety?

the 12 pains of Christmas:

I like twisted!

Never heard the second one before. Thanks!

As usual in these threads is my favorite clean Christmas song:

Ok, now I have figured out I need to make my own holiday mix cd. These are great!

that one may be a bit much should one of my neighbors pop in.

and this is what has been playing

The Killers: "Don't Shoot Me, Santa" -

This thread is doing most of my playlist work for me. Thanks!

from one of my favorite movie scenes of all time.

and who doesn't love Wham?

The Christmas Music lamp is now lighted in all quarters.

The Chimney Song

and he'll be here every Christmas!!!

The twelve drinks of Christmas...
