What is your favorite Christmas Album?

[anacostiakat]

I am not sure I really have a favorite. I have a collection that I have put together over the years.

I have several compilations of traditional songs but also includes James Brown's Funky Christmas, Elvis' White Christmas, A Doo *** Christmas, A Soulfull Christmas and also one I picked up last year of remixes that is fantastic.

I also have some digital recordings like Mel Blanc doing Porky Pig singing Blue Christmas.

I am listening to Elvis' White Christmas right now. :-P

The Jethro Tull Christmas album is awesome.

I like this topic :-D

I always look forward to the 1st of December when I feel like I can legitimately start listening to Christmas music (although an American friend of mind insists that Christmas starts the day after Thanksgiving). So anyway after reading your your post my resistance crumbled and just now I'm listening to Let it Snow - Dean Martin.

I don't really have a favourite album either, but these are my favourite tracks from my dedicated iTunes 'Christmas' playlist (55 songs!):

Blue Christmas - Elvis Presley

Merry Christmas Baby - B.B. King

Sleigh Ride - The Ronettes

Thank God it's Christmas - Queen

Merry Christmas (I Don't Want To Fight Tonight) - The Ramones

Santa Claus is Comin' to Town - Bruce Springsteen

I think you have to go with Twisted Sister's Twisted Christmas.

Honestly though, James Taylor did one a couple years back that is fantastic. Harry Connick Jr's album is really good.

That's about it for me. I don't get into a lot of Christmas music. Seems like it's always someone's take on the same 12 songs.

I don't have a favorite album (though I do like the the Elf soundtrack), but I do like a wide variety of songs.

One of my all time favorite songs is Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses. I always look forward to

hearing it this time of year.

Wilkey and Wiley are two different people. That Wilkey, watch him, he's trouble. He's been trying to annoy me with that damned "k" for a couple of years now!

Fairy Tale of New York - The Pogues

It was Christmas Eve babe

In the drunk tank

An old man said to me, won't see another one

And then he sang a song

The Rare Old Mountain Dew

I turned my face away

And dreamed about you

Got on a lucky one

Came in eighteen to one

I've got a feeling

This year's for me and you

So happy Christmas

I love you baby

I can see a better time

When all our dreams come true

They've got cars big as bars

They've got rivers of gold

But the wind goes right through you

It's no place for the old

When you first took my hand

On a cold Christmas Eve

You promised me

Broadway was waiting for me

You were handsome

You were pretty

Queen of New York City

When the band finished playing

They howled out for more

Sinatra was swinging,

All the drunks they were singing

We kissed on a corner

Then danced through the night

The boys of the NYPD choir

Were singing "Galway Bay"

And the bells were ringing out

For Christmas day

You're a bum

You're a punk

You're an old **** on junk

Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed

You scumbag, you maggot

You cheap lousy ******

Happy Christmas your arse

I pray God it's our last

I could have been someone

Well so could anyone

You took my dreams from me

When I first found you

I kept them with me babe

I put them with my own

Can't make it all alone

I've built my dreams around you

I just saw this!

What a coincidence. A Charlie Brown Christmas has been my favorite Christmas album for as long as I can remember. One family ritual involves watching the cartoon on Christmas Eve together.

My second favorite album is Cyrus Chestnut's A Charlie Brown Christmas. A nice, jazzy interpretation of Guaraldi's original.
