FANTASTIC choice! I bought the remastered CD that came out last year. If you own an old CD of this, you should buy the remastered version. CLASSIC!

It's not Christmas unless I watch White Christmas and hear Bing Crosby sing it. Kind of dumb actually, because I am way too young to have any sentimental ties to that song, but there it is.

On the other hand, if I hear "Christmas Shoes" I get angry and want to smash something. That song is a tool of the antichrist.

Thanks for the heads up - I'll have to pick the remastered version up

Bing Crosby and David Bowie's version of the Little Drummer Boy. Best Christmas song ever.

Vince Guaraldi did all the Snoopy tunes. Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack is also cool.

I know what you mean. There are some Christmas songs (and movies) that I avoid like the plague.

That's actually the CD he's talking about, I believe. We bought it last year, and it's Jim's new favorite. We've listened to it at least twelve times since the start of the month.


We also have to hear Donnie Hathaway sing 'This Christmas' and personally, I can't call it Christmas until I hear Grant Goodeve sing 'Didn't I Get This Last Year?'

I worked 5 years in a regional department store chain. This is how I react to most X-mas songs. The stores bounced a signal off a satelite or something so only corporate could control what songs were playing. And they kept playing when the store was closed and we were locked in overnight to restock toys or prep huge ads. The same 20 to 30 songs over and over and over...

I have stopped shopping and walked out of stores because of what's playing on their AP system. And if I ever hear the figgy pudding song again, there WILL be blood all over the floor.

"Bring us some figgy pudding.
Bring us some figgy pudding.
Bring us some figgy pudding.
And bring it right here.
We won't go until we get some.
We won't go until we get some.
We won't go until we get some.
So bring us some right here."
