Hi all,

Hope all have a great Boxing Day Eve. Wink

Here are some Christmas songs, if you need a musical interlude at any point today... A collection of my
favs... and hopefully not stuff Joe will post... Why yes of course it is quirky...

Rusty Chevrolet - Da Yoopers

I am Santa Claus- Bob Rivers

Dropkick Murphys - "The Season's Upon Us"

God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman - best one ever if you like
electric guitar. His Run Rudolph Run is great too.

Laughing All The Way - Jingle Bells

Bing and Bowie = 1977

Greg Lake - I believe in Father Christmas

Adam Sandler Chanukah Song

The Nutcracker Suite, (arr. A. York) : L.A Guitar Quartet
whole album plays if you let it - I have this CD actually LOL!

So This Is Christmas - John Lennon

Red Peters - you ain't gettin' shit fer Christmas

Twelve Drugs of Christmas

Christmas Dragnet - Stan Freberg

Christmas balls = cover - can't find original 1930's version

Happy Happy Joy Joy! (but which I did not include)

Happy Trails all!

@QMS One of my minor pet peeves is that after Thanksgiving a number of major radio stations in the area switch to nothing but Christmas music. They play the same songs over and over. All are might call them secular or pagan. Like who knew a reindeer and a snow man were a major figures in the Christian pantheon.

Claymation stuff are great animations, and this one is also quite quirky.

A bit more traditional
but the chorus is melodious
in the church acoustics

and the candles are magical

@janis b Hey J!

Thank you for all the vids! All very good. This last one is particularly spectacular. I can't believe her voice and his bass playing. Pure awesomeness.

Thanks!

Hope you had a good one!

and yet both the most truthful, and the most accessible (to any east coaster/rocker/superannuated punk, anyway), might be this immortal ditty:

@usefewersyllables Hi UFS!

Yeah that is a great amongst greats... The video for it is hilarious too (see third vid down above).

Great minds think in parallel... or get stuck in the same rut Wink

happy holidays!

@dystopian

that you'd already posted it. But it really is one of my favorite seasonal songs...

I always breathe a huge sigh of relief once all the packages are opened and the whole Christmas thing is done. Christmas got utterly destroyed for me in my college and immediate post-college years: having to buy very expensive plane tickets to get home for the duty dance, when I barely had money to keep a roof over my head and food in my belly, really made me resent the whole thing. I've never gotten over that. My parents have been gone for many years, so my wife and I have very low key Christmases- but I still approach the whole season with a sense of dread. Now that it is done, I can relax and enjoy New Years.

Happy New Year, everybody...
