Hey Top,

Does Tito Puente have a Christmas album?

No. Dammit.

This is my Christmas gift to August West.

May the Lord have mercy on my soul.

They don't call me Saint Chinook for nuthin'.

I heard two good ones on the radio yesterday. One a classic by Charles Brown, and the second with so many double entendres my oldest son (he's 17) and I couldn't stop laughing.

I can't find the song I heard yesterday, so let's go with this classic by Charles Brown:

And then "Trim Your Tree" by Jimmy Butler

Finally, let's not forget about Charles Brown and Bonnie Raitt singing together:

Here's a favorite of mine

Let us not forget Hanukkah...

Away in a Manger

Anything particularly popular in Australia?

Christmas Shoes
Silent Night
Hark the Herald

'Nother vote for Carol of the Bells

Favorite song? Rusty Chevrolet by Da Yoopers. The rest? Depends on mood. Right now I'm listening to The Messiah, but other times I can't Handel it.

Gene Autry, Bing Crosby, or Perry Cuomo, anything by those guys.

Ooh. "Dominick" is a bad one.

Well. Cheech & Chong's "Santa Claus & His Old Lady," for a certainty.

Kinks' "Father Christmas."

ah. The Mannheim Steamroller new age CD's ... bright and happy; not associated with Christmas pasts.

Just got the "Jewel" one; Homer, Alaska's pride. Haven't heard it yet.

I see what you did there.

Here's my favorite Carol of the Bells:

I can't believe nobody has mentioned the best Christmas song of all time! Kirsty McCall and the Pogues, Fairytale of New York!

I'd post a video of it but I'd probably get banned for some of the lyrics!
