I like it whenever anyone jazzes up this song:God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
Check out the flute and bass solo at about the 3:00 mark. Done in supposed bluegrass style: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFPTQSbxKNE This guy's hammering on solo guitar version of it is pretty awesome: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfI6QiZtgEg IP: Logged |

I have been told who does this one and that they are from the Caribbean and recorded this song in Europe, but I just can't remember their name. Part of it goes:Hark the Herold Angels sing
A King was born today.
And man will live forevermore
because of Christmas day.
Gee, I'm a great help aren't I?

It's not 'technically' a Christmas song, but the UK has a #1 Christmas single every year, and my fave is a remake of the Tears for Fears song "Mad World" by Gary Jules. Haunting, strangely Christmas to me....

Who could forget Alivin and the chipmunks Christmas Song!?! This was one of my favorites are a child. Although I admit, I've burned a Chipmunk Christmas CD to listen to atleast once during the Holiday Season!

TO GET INTO MASSIVE DEBT THE GOVT CONTROL OURS MINDS
WITH STUPID TELIVISION WE ARE COMPELLED TO BUY
AND WASTE OUR LIVES IN THE MALL oooo GIVING GIFTS IS POINTLESS
IT JUST RUNS THE ECONOMY IF YOU DON'T PARTICIPATE IN XMAS

LOL BR Good one. And it rings true in so many ways  Here's another one: (Sung to the tune of I'll Be Home For Christmas) I'll be cloned for Christmas,
There'll be three of me;
One to Work, and one to Shop,
And one just for Parties. Christmas Eve, I'm certain,
I won't be alone;
I'll be home for Christmas,
Or else I'll send a Clone!
