I wonder where you will include "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer"?

Hey, Merry Christmas to you as well, I love Christmas music as long as Bono isn't singing it. (Ha Ha, had to throw that in from yesterday's thread.)

Silver Bells, closely followed by I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day, Rocking Around The Christmas Tree and Blue Christmas. Honorable mentions to Christmas In Jail and the classic Christmas With The Devil by Spinal Tap!

The Ramones "Merry Christmas, I Don't Want to Fight Tonight"! Non-religious, of course.

What about "In the bleak midwinter"?
BTW, anyone ever try doing a line-by-line paraphrase of a song without using ANY words in the paraphrase that occur in the corresponsing lines of the original, while maintaining rhyme and meter? It's sorta fun.
During the cold season, cold and loud winds blew.
All the ground was frozen; lakes and rivers too.
White precipitation to great heights was massed.
During the cold season in the distant past.
Or, if you don't know that one, perhaps this will be more familiar:
Relax all happy chevaliers--don't fret for anything.
Do not forget the date that Mary gave birth to a King.
To snap the Devil's snares and end our aimless wandering
So spread cheerful tranquility--tranquility.
So pread chearful transquility.
Tricky form of word-crafting, but it does produce some interesting results.

O Tannenbaum (sp) (Nat King Cole)
Silver Bells (Doris Day)
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen (Bing Crosby)
And Stan Boreson had a funny Christmas song - but I can't remember the title.

Actually, Mahalia Jackson (gospel singer extraordinaire) did a beautiful rendition of "Go Tell It On The Mountain". She also did quite a few other Christmas songs just as well.
