While it is not really a Christmas song, "Last Train Home" is one I associate with Christmas...

* Barenaked Ladies version of 'God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman.'

* John Lennon's 'Happy Christmas, the War is Over!'

* Elton John's 'Step into Christmas.'

* Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers 'Christmas All Over Again.'

* Dan Fogelberg's 'Same Old Lang Syne' (this song is also good year-round).

The versions of 'O'Holy Night' with choirs, and organs offer quite the experiences.

It is now the day after Thanksgiving, so you hereby have permission to play Christmas music. :mrgreen: :santa:

If you want background sounds on your computer, tune in to the WQXR Holiday Channel for the rest of the season:

Mariah Carey's 'All I Want for Christmas is You' is catchy and enjoyable.

The other day, someone's little kid at the grocery store was loudly singing "Deck the Halls", but all of the lyrics were "FA LA LA LA BLAH, LA BLAH BLAH BLAH".

Best carol ever.

With holiday music on the radio, there are those few songs that stand-out from all of the holiday-noise.

The examples that piqued my interest as I was writing this post:

* Santa Claus is Coming to Town - The Crystals (Circa 1963)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3zudVvBEB4

* Celebrate Me Home - Kenny Loggins (Circa 1977)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVbPgBGv2to

* Bing Crosby & David Bowie -Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy (Circa 1977)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADbJLo4x-tk

* Christmastime is Here (A Charlie Brown Christmas) (1965)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIBLYwjvGjA

* The Nutcracker Suite is always a favorite!

My favourite Christmas song of all time is from Wham! "Last Christmas".
