The Kinks had one about a little rich boy that was cool. Also, there was a New Wave sounding one about whether they still know it's Christmas. Does anybody know those songs?
On the more serious side, my favorites are also Do You hear What I hear & Little Drummer Boy.
Ill have to go with "Sleigh Ride" and any other instrumental, especially the Trans Siberian Orchestra stuff. Otherwise, not much of a fan of xmas music....it kind of stresses me out.
No Presents for Christmas mini-LP by King Diamond, of course. "I'm dreaming of a white... sabbath!"
Ironically, I got this as a Christmas present from my roommate a long time ago.
Trans Siberian Orchestra (A.K.A. the metal band Savatage) is good too, in the same vein as Mannheim Steamroller. I prefer TSO's non Xmas album: Beethoven's Last Night which I do always listen to around this time of year so I guess that makes it count. Classical inspired & infused metal music is always good to drive to when it's snowing. Fitting somehow with the falling snow.
I have an ancient white cassette (must be 20 years old, or more) that has some of his Christmas songs on it and every year I bust it out and play it to death in the car.
Angels We Have Heard On High
Joy To The World
O Holy Night
Carol of the Bells
What Child Is This?
Holly and the Ivy
Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
O Little Town of Bethlehem

O Come, All Ye Faithful

The First Noel
Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree - Brenda Lee
Blue Christmas - Elvis
White Christmas - Bing
I like a variety. About any of them as long as they aren't played slow enough as to act as a heavy sedative. LOL
By far, my favorite is about anything by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. The net radio I listen to has been playing "A Mad Russian's Christmas". I think also "Christmas Eve in Serejevo" and some others.
Deliverance has a cool version of "Silent Night" too.
On the humor side, "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer" is a classic.
The more traditional ones that I like are "Mary Did You Know" and "Drummer Boy."
