New York is my favorite Christmas city.

Also, Bing Crosby's "Merry Christmas". I'm also very partial to the 2 Brian Setzer Orchestra's Christmas Albums. Check 'em out.

One of my new favorite Christmas recordings is 'God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman' by the Barenaked Ladies and Sarah McLachlan.

Interesting choice on the Leon Redbone, Alan. I really enjoyed his live show. He played in a venue where I'd seen several punk and indy shows, so it was odd to sit quietly and clap politely. But it had a low-key energy (and charm) all its own.

Doc, there's nothing quite like hearing this record live, as I've had the pleasure of doing for the last four years around christmastime... sweet lord, what an awesome band.

+1 on the Redbone. He did a killer Mr. Belvedere theme song too.

I think my favorite Xmas album, particularly when driving home for the holidays, is "I Love to Paint".

I'm going to have to get the Rat Pack and the cabaret Christmas albums.


Some of my favorite Christmas songs:

Christmas Wrapping by the Waitresses
Last Christmas by Wham
Clint Frostwood by Chillaz (comedic take on Frosty set to The Gorillaz' Clint Eastwood)
Santa Lost a Ho by the Christmas Jug Band

I've had my Redbone Christmas CD since college; I bought it 15+ years ago. Some of the tracks on it were also used on the 'Elf' soundtrack. Redbone does great stuff. I've never seen him live (to my shame), but really need to.

I picked mine up for $10 at the Virgin Megastore here in NYC. Not sure they have them where you are. They had a lot of good holiday tunes for $10.
