Yeah I know I'm posting this a bit early, but we have a station already playing Christmas songs 24/7.

I'll go with: "Happy Christmas (War Is Over)" - John Lennon & Yoko

Yeah I suppose it's a bit ironic that it's my favorite, but it's such a good tune.

I've yet to find one that exists.

Really? You don't like any out there? None of them hard enough for you wigs lol?

Unless you count the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

Christmas Canon - Trans Siberian Orchestra

Of course, why not?

I'll probably be the only one, but manheim steamroller is great too.

I have two-one serious and one fun. Serious: Hark The Herald Angels Sing & fun: Here Comes Santa Claus.

I'm not really fond of any Christmas songs, either. I could do without them all.

Boy you guys are downers.

They're corny. What am I supposed to do, walk around singing Jingle Bells while skipping down the boardwalk? I like Christmas, just not the soundtrack.

Good God! I just heard Bruce Springsteen sing some Christmas song, and it was both the most embarrasing and tragic thing I have ever heard.

Yeah. Otherwise the terrorists have won.

No. Although, back in elementary school chorus, it was enjoyable singing rudolph the red nosed reindeer.

Good point.

It's a debater's crutch.

Its a toss up between

Hey Santa Claus, You C#nt
And I saw Mommy F-ing Santa Claus
Both by Kevin Wilson.

Those sound like something I might like.

Ever heard the "ding! fries are done" song?

I am from KC remember?
Anyone who has ever listened to Johny Dare around Christmas has heard it.

Google Kevin Wilson. Trust me you will love it.

Downloading.

That one song is in my head 24/7 every December.

I love Xmas tunes. Sometimes I sing them all year round. Corny, I know.

White Christmas is a personal fave
Have Yourself a Merry Little Xmas
The Charlie Brown Xmas album is great.
Silver Bells
Silent Night (when done well, but its often butchered)
We Three Kings is a cool harmony/melody structure
Frosty the Snowman
The Heat Miser/Cold Miser songs
You're a Mean One Mr Grinch
Carol of the Bells


Oh, and The Little Drummer Boy can go fuck himself.

How could you?

BTW, does anyone like the Pogue's Christmas song (Fairytale of New York)? Personally I despise it 'cause it's played over and over here because they're Irish.

I like Christmas songs too, daedalus 2.0. Ironic the 2 atheists would say that, right?

Christmas Shoes - Newsong (my favorite)
Hark the Herald Angel's Sing
Christmas Cannon - by anyone
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Carol of the Bells - by anyone
Silent Night
You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch

There are others, no boubt.

just because we're atheists doesn't mean we can't celebrate consumerism

Very true.

It would be downright unamerican to not celebrate xmas - the biggest shopping season of the year!

"All I want for Christmas is my two front teef!"

and...

"Grandma got run over by a rein deer."

Don't think those are the song titles but yeah...you get the idea. 

Any of the oldies.  They got that jinglin' spirit in em.

Carol of the Bells -hands down the best
The Mormon Tabernacle Boys Choir is outstanding. I prefer all of the older Christmas music, older meaning pre-1900's. My g/f like all the cartoony music, frosty the snowman, rudolph the red nosed reindeer etc. I think the classical Christmas music is some of the best peice of music ever created. It has so much depth and feeling. I used to be a singer in a state Chorus so I guess I am partial to the older stuff.

Couldn't agree more.

Rudolph the red nose reindeer- Jack Johnson
