This is a continuation (of sorts) from yesterday’s thread on ”Die Hard” and just what is a Christmas Movie?

I’ll invoke DNC rulez - you can vote more than once or for more than one song that you like or dislike.

Mannheim Steamroller is good for Christmas, IMO.

[Oorang]

RE: Mannheim Steamroller. I should clarify. The original Mannheim (with Jackson Berkey), not the current version which has none of the originals (to my knowledge).

I made a channel on Pandora of “Casting Crowns Christmas”. Everything they play is great.

A local radio station starts playing nonstop Christmas from November 4 until Christmas. This is ridiculous. Who really wants to hear that much Christmas music?

[KarlInOhio]

Every single version of The Little Drummer Boy makes Jesus cry. I am parum-pum-pummed out by Thanksgiving.

I love Christmas and Christmas music, but some of the contemporary stuff is just bad.

And when did “My Favorite Things” and “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” become Christmas songs?

[alternatives?]

Sometimes I listen to classic Christmas songs in July. Makes me smile.

“excellent original R&B Christmas songs”

There is no such thing. What a joke.

I still listen to the same Christmas album from the 1950’s that my parents played when I was a child, that is “A Jolly Christmas from Frank Sinatra” by Frank Sinatra, circa 1957. Whether you like Sinatra or not, its a fine album. Merry Christmas!

I heard Felix Navidad around October 5th at Walmart.

[Mister Da]

The chipmunks are my favorite.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Every year my copy of "And Winter Came..." by Enya comes out.

It is different and it walks the line between religious with "Journey of the Angels" and secular with "One Toy Soldier".

Try it for a bit of unusual.

A Charlie Brown Christmas [2012 Remastered & Expanded Edition]

A newly remastered edition of one of the most popular and beloved holiday albums of all-time. This special 2012 edition of the multi-platinum selling classic includes three bonus tracks that did not appear on the original 1965 LP: "Greensleeves," "Thanksgiving Theme" and "Great Pumpkin Waltz".

[Seruzawa]

Easy solution: change the channel.

Here's the best compilation I've found containing all the essential classics. Rip it off youtube while you can because it always gets taken down even though it's been around at least a decade.

Ray Conniff Singers did my favorite Christmas LP as a kid. When I grew up I bought the CD reissue.

I like this version much better...

I gotta say...I was in Walmart today and there was regular music.

They had played Christmas music...but .
not today. It was refreshing.

Maybe they read the article.

[bigbob]

“Christmas in Prison”, “Please Daddy Don’t Get Drunk This Christmas”, “Christmas at Ground Zero”, etc...all the classics.
