You da' man Dave, thanks buddy!

We had a choir at work for Christmas only; we used to practice for about a month before Christmas, once or twice a week during lunch.

We had about ten or twelve of the old standards, of which we finaly over the years of practice got fairly well presented.

Those were great times, those are great memories.

2000 Miles by the pretenders
Carol of the Bells by Trans Siberian Orchestra
Christmas all over again Tom Petty
Let it snow by Sinatra or Bing

Elvis - If Every Day Was Like Christmas
Newsong - The Christmas Shoes
Porky Pig - Blue Christmas

David! Thank you very much! I'm going to go out and put up Christmas lights right now. Good day, eh?

The Christmas Song - Nat King Cole
O Holy Night - anyone
Silent Night - anyone
Christmas Waltz - Frank Sinatra
Baby it's Cold outside - Dean Martin

it'd have to be "Christmas in the Trenches". I heard it for the first time this past Thurday night when the band played it at the pub. It's kind of embarrassing when you tear up in front of your wife and friends at the bar....

Here's a stab at this...going from one extreme to the other...

Who remembers this one?

"I Want a Hippopatamus for Chrismas" - The Three Stooges
(although probably made more infamous by Gayle Perry).

Then there is the one by a female group (from the 80's, I think) "Christmas Wrapping" - The Waitresses.

Also, "Father Christmas" - The Kinks.

And to add a bit of Texas flair to this thread:

"Pretty Paper" - Willie Nelson...always a classic at our house...

I also have the Brian Setzer Christmas album...have to find it again and give it a critical listen...pretty fun though from what I can remember.

Best version of "Baby, It's Cold Outside" I've heard was by(strangely enough) Whoopie Goldberg and Harry Connick, Jr.

There is also a version of "The 12 Days of Christmas" that I heard on Doctor Demento a number of years ago..."Rigging up the lights..." with someone doing a bad Paul Linde impression as one of the days...

And who can forget the unforgettable "Chipmunks Roasting On An Open Fire"...

Okay, I'll stop.

Should have been Gayla Peevey not Gayle Perry...

Hey...I was close

i'm somewhat non-traditional, Mark made a good call - Happy Christmas War Is Over has got to be one of my favorites. Though I have found a special place in my heart for Eric Cartman's version of O Holy Night (with the cattle prod of course)!
