What's on your Christmas iPod?

Ten songs on my Christmas iPod:

1) Christmas in Hollis -- Run DMC. Awesome song.

2) Chestnuts -- Nat Cole. Vintage

3) Peanuts Christmas -- That piano guy. Drags me back to third grade.

4) Santa Claus is Comin' -- Bruce Springsteen. Fuck the guy on everything else, but Silvio Dante of the Sopranos is rockin' this tune. Classic.

5) Rudolph -- Gene Autry. There's only one version.

6) Happy Christmas -- Lennon. I like war. So what? I know he's a peacenik and all, but I like the song.

7) Spirit of Christmas -- Ray Charles. That scene in Christmas Vacation with the home videos gets me every time.

8) Have Yourself, -- Crosby. Bing is Christmas.

9) Please Come Home for Christmas -- Eagles. I always wanted to be Don Henley.

10) Oh Holy Night -- John Berry.

Honorable Mention:
Let it Snow, The Grinch, Carol of the Bells, Silver and Gold, White Christmas (Bing and also Drifters versions).

Outstanding list. Maybe a few adjustments here and there. Aaron Nevil's version of "Please Come Home For Christmas" is killer, but I like the Eagle's version as well. I love the old style crooners like Bing, Cole, Sinatra and Dean Martin.

I do get in the mood for the Manheim Steamroller music as well.... Greensleeves by MS is unbelievable. Gets me in the Christmas mode quickly.

Buffett's Christmas Album - Favorite Song is "Ho Ho Ho, and a Bottle of Rum"

Christmas in Hollis is the only Christmas themed song on my ipod.
In High School I worked for a local drug store part time and around the Holidays...I got soooooooooooo tired of hearing the same stuff over and over again that I still hate, that's right...I said hate, Christmas music. I love to hear the Church Choir singing on Christmas Eve, but other than that you can have it.

I strongly recommend Gary Hoey for some serious Christmas guitar work. I posted the youtube 12 days of Christmas but it wouldn't work here. Go forth to Youtube and crank it to volume setting #11.
