Christmas songs...

For some reason I dislike listening to Christmas-related / Santa-related/ jingle bell-related crapola at this time of year. Amd I the only one? Sometimes I wonder.

Is it the overly sugar-coated drivel that comes out this time of year? Is it the recycling of old, crappy songs that get their chance to get played once more? Is it the cheap cash-in Christmas albums that get released (and re-released) this time of year that puts me off? I dunno. But something does.

Someone please recommend me a GOOD Christmas song. I could be totally off-base here, but I believe nobody's made a good one.

Here's some cool tunes that are sure to please;

1st. I agree with 2the9s; What Child Is This by Vanessa Williams is incredible.

2. Song For A Winter's Night by Sarah McLachlan - a great tune

3. Blue Christmas by Elvis Presley - if you feel a little bit "Country"

4. Soca Santa by Machel - if you feel like shaking your booty

5. Santa Baby by Sheila E. - a latin-tinged rendition that puts Madonna's version to shame
By St. Boogar and all the saints at the backside door of Purgatory!

Im not about Christmas songs, but Coldplays' KCRW performance of Have Yourself A Merry Christmas is a beautiful song... just him and the keyboard.. amazing
