Stop contradicting me, guys!

People might start to think that I make flippant statements with little or no grounding all the time.

Barenaked for the Holidays

oh, and the Canadien band The Barenaked Ladies cd of the same name is pretty good too.

Travis covered Last Christmas live, and it's an absolute corker, a fantastic cover.

Special mentions to Alfie the Elf and Do Ya Hear What I Hear?

If there are any fans of the movie About A Boy, "Santa's Super Sleigh" is an easter egg on the DVD. It really is the worst Christmas song ever.

I'm very conflicted about Seymour Swine's "Blue Christmas." Sometimes I think it's hilarious; other times it get on my nerves.

One of my childhood favorites that I still have on my iPod Xmas playlist is "Snoopy Vs. The Red Baron" by The Royal Guardsmen.

So did I. That's so wacky. Anyway, RIP to Dan and this year the song will depress me even more.

I love that Barenaked Ladies Christmas CD. It's so fun!

For my fellow "Christmas Shoes" haters, my sister has a good post on her blog explaining the awfulness of the song line by line:

Pimping my sister's blog, I hope that gets me brownie points for Christmas

Funny shit!

My hatred for the Christmas Shoes has now reached an all time high! Thanks!

I don't really, either, but once I get overwhelmed by the season I start singing them and can't stop.

When I was a kid, I absolutely loved this album:

I just got this off of iTunes and I love it

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas by Bing Crosby...

Pearl · 12-20-2007, 02:22 PM

My favorites are O Holy Night, Christmas in Sarajevo and This is Christmas (War is Over).

I also totally hate "The Christmas Shoes".

U2girl · 12-20-2007, 05:05 PM

Christmas on the radio ? Last Christmas - Wham , I never get tired of it even if it gets played each year. For a "different" Christmas, Fairytale of New York.

Traditional ? Silent night, also Jingle Bells.

Oldies ? White Christmas.

I love Guster's "Donde Esta, Santa Claus?" and a few of the ones mentioned already (Lennon, U2, Springsteen, Kinks, F'Lips)

2000 Miles by The Pretenders and surprisingly by Coldplay are both extremely good.
