The Paul McCartney theme in the meme thread made me start listing to my favorite Christmas songs.  What are yours?  I'll start off with my favorite.

Somehow I don't think that fits with the family thread thing...

I tend to agree with the sentiment, but just a bit over the top. Ok, not just a bit.

The Crash Test Dummies (remember them?) put out a Christmas album. It's full of minor key / slightly discordant, laconic takes on traditional songs. My wife says it's "too weird," but I love it.

You can of course hear the whole thing on Youtube:

Hey, I'm with ya there! But this one is better than the last two, so there is that!

As a younger man, I would have listened to the whole song, but I'm at least trying to grow up some these days! (I cannot believe I just said that! Never intended to!)

As to the bah humbugs, we'll all try to help. You Might prefer a stick in the eye, but we'll try!

I love that song. Heard it for the first time in December 2007. Had never heard of Robert Earl. Moved to Texas a month later and realized how famous he is there. Great music.
