Tis the season!!
Some of us love Christmas music, some of us cringe at the thought. Anyway I thought it might be nice to list some of our favorite Christmas songs. I have three definite favorites.
Merry Christmas Darling - Carpenters
Driving Home for Christmas - Chris Rea
Sleigh Ride - Leroy Anderson
Merry Christmas everyone!!

I have to hear every year:
"The 12 Pains of Christmas" by Bob Rivers
"The 12 Days of Christmas" by Allan Sherman
Absolutely love:
"All I Want For Christmas Is You" by Vince Vance & the Valiants
"Do They Know It's Christmas" by Band Aid 84
and
"O Holy Night" by whomever will give it justice.

as novelty, or alternative xmas songs go... perhaps not technically oldies depending on who is defining that, for several decades now my favorites have been:
"christmas with the devil" spinal tap
"cashing in on christmas" bad news

While I don't think of it as a Christmas song, it is on the "Phil Spector Christmas" album, so I would list "The Bells Of St. Mary" as a favorite by Bobb B. Soxx & Blue Jeans. It is the perfect 'wall of sound' example.
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir entire Christmas catalogue rates with me. However, my favorite is the lesser known "Baby, What You Goin' To Be" from their "White Christmas" album.
I also favor the entire Carpenters Christmas offerings.
For a novelty, I enjoy Stan Freberg's "Green Christmas".
