Forget who did them, bunch of famous people, I think.

aha! i made a christmas mix last year, and i'm making another one this year. you might be thinking right now, "hey, i thought she was jewish?!" but i have a weakness for christmas music. okay. a huge weakness.

here are some GOOD holiday songs to look into:

Rilo Kiley - Xmas Cake
Ron Sexsmith - Maybe This Christmas
U2 - Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)
Death Cab's cover of - Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)
Eels - Christmas Is Going To The Dogs

No Doubt's cover of - Oi To The World
Coldplay - Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
The Raveonettes - The Christmas Song
Rooney - Merry X-Mas Everybody
The Ramones - Merry Christmas (I Don't Want To Fight Tonight)

…and, of course, there are always christmas albums by Bright Eyes, The Vandals, and my personal favorite–Sufjan Stevens

A Marshmallow World - Ray Anthony
I Wish You a Merry Christmas - Big Dee Irwin and Little Eva

Christmas Island - Bob Atcher, Dinning Sisters
Santa Baby - Eartha Kitt & Henri Rene

plus anything off A Charlie Brown Christmas by the Vince Guaraldi Trio.

Chris Rea - Driving home for christmas

Aled Jones - The Snowman (I'm walking on the air)

Slade - Merry Christmas

The whole Phil Spector Christmas album

Run-DMCâ??Christmas in Hollis

Jona Louie - Send in the cavalry.

all good suggestions above! the vinyl household is fully stocked on xmas tunes so off the top of my head hear are some additional ones… need to check the iTunes at home for more.

Both Brian Setzer Orchestra XMAS CDs are go daddy-o go! Ace arrangements.

Hoodoo Gurus - "Little Drummer Boy(Up the Kyhber)"
Marvin Gaye - "Purple Snowflakes"
The Three Kings (aka XTC) - "Thanks for Christmas" and "Countdown to Christmas Party Time"
Starbelly - "Dear Mother Christmas"
Elvis
El Vez - "Feliz Navidad" The lyrics are sung on top what sounds most like Public Image Ltd's "Unlimited Supply".

more to come…

p.s. there is this legal DRM-free music download service that has a nice collection of holiday tunes, including the first brian setzer.

Have you heard the sufjan stevens christmas songs? I've been listening to them, my favorite is I saw three ships because he complains at the end how he played bad. You can download them here:

You can't go wrong with Henry Rollins version of Twas the Night Before Christmas. It'll really take the party to a new level.

my mom just bought a brian setzer christmas album, "I Dig Christmas", or something like that…its pretty good…

its a welcome relief to the Harry Connick jr christhams CD she's been playing every christmas for the past 10 years
