I prefer The Ronettes' "Frosty the Snowman" over "Sleigh Ride".

Ah, Phil Spector ... a genius in the studio ... but a homicidal nut out of the studio.

Here's a guilty pleasure based on a true story:

I posted this on the music thread, but this is really the best Christmas song ever...

What no "Fairytale of New York" with the Pogues and Kristy McColl? The death last year of Shane MacGowan still saddens me.

My two favorites are Christmas in Hollis and Last Christmas (yes, that Last Christmas). I don’t get worked up over Christmas music, or Christmas in general.

A woefully underrated and underplayed gem here.

I first heard this one off a CD I got from a Chex cereal box. Loved the Chex mix and the song. It's Jose Feliciano (NOT the song you're thinking of). He does a pretty good version of "The Little Drummer Boy" as well.

For a pop band known for jitterbug, last Christmas is a heck of a Christmas song. It might be my number one.

Interesting.

I'm watching WHAM!: Last Christmas Unwrapped now.

And here's the best version of this difficult-to-sing hymn. Be sure to listen to the end to hear Mr. Williams land this beauty. No wonder he was one of his era's best (if underrated) crooners.

Just something that makes me happy:

That's my wife's favorite.
