The greatest Christmas album ever...



I LOVE this album! I don't know if it's a little premature, but it's all I've been playing while I'm at work lately, and it makes me happy and really puts me in the mood for Christmas. biggrin

I grew up on the Temptations Christmas album, so I'll go with that. Vince Guaraldi and Nat King Cole are up there too.

I must add that I think that the Charlie Brown Christmas special resonated deeply with me and that has influenced my feelings about the album. I like the music but the show makes it much more special.

I don't have any Christmas albums by one artist. The Christmas tracks I have are on compilation albums.

New Kids got run over by a reindeer
All the little children are in shock.
No more loud annoying high falsetto-oh-ohhh
Now there's no more New Kids on the Block.

They were singing their new hit song,
"Cover Girls With The Right Stuff".
Now they're trophies for a reindeer,
Mounted on his mantle, Hangin' Tough.

Many times I was mistaken,
When I went to see their show.
Danny, Donny, Joe, Jon, Jordan,
Or was it Larry, Curly, Shemp and Moe-oh-oh-oh-ohh?

New Kids got run over by a reindeer.
All the little children are in shock.
No more loud annoyin' high falsetto-oh-ohh
Now there's no more New Kids on the Block.

Now the New Kid fans are cryin',
And they say this really sucks!
But don't blame it on the reindeer,
'Cause I'm the one who gave him fifty bucks.

Life is great without the New Kids,
Now let's deal the final blow:
Drop our pants and hang our hineys,
And tell their fans it's really mistletoe-oh-oh-oh-ohh.

New kids got run over by a reindeer.
No more little brats for me to mock.
No more pre-pubescent high falsetto-oh-ohh
Now there's no more New Kids on the Block.
