i'm always searching for cool or pretty christmas songs. a lot of stuff on the reindeer room volumes was interesting. probably my favorite is steve austeen's version of jolly old st nicholas -- never thought i could like that song, but there it is, love that woman's voice. please let me know if you know any good versions of xmas songs

Look no further than Rahsaan Patterson's Ultimate Gift album from 2008.

I vote for Alexander O'Neal's Christmas album!

Christmas Jam of the day: "Funky Christmas" by the Whispers (1979)

How can "Funkiest" AND "Christmas" be in the same sentence and no one even mention Bootsy Collins?

I HIGHLY recommend Bootsy Collins - "Christmas is 4 Ever" for a Funky Good Time this Holiday.

Then two more CD's worth mentioning:

Both these CD's are really nice.

You beat me to the punch! I blow the dust off of this one every year; awesome album. I found it at the library a few years back and laughed at the concept of a Bootsy Collins Christmas album, but its pretty solid!

I just picked it up last year, even though I had seen it around for a while before that. Like you; at first I thought... "A Bootsy Christmas Album???". Then when I heard it... blew me away! LOVE this CD, could almost listen to it year round.

I couldn't agree more.

Al Green's feels like Christmas is my fav

Ike and Tina's Christmas song is pretty funky oh and Happy Birthday Tina 71

One of my favorite Christmas songs as a kid. Nice, mellow groove to it.

Ray Parker, Jr. - "Christmas Time Is Here"

And the greatest version of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed-Reindeer" by The Temptations

"Sleigh Ride" by Alexander O'Neal. X-Mas funk, Minneapolis style,

...later the Chipmunks destroyed it.
