Your favorite holiday song?

  Even when I was a JW, I enjoyed hearing holiday music. Some of it is religious, some of it is just "holiday cheer" music. But it's fun to listen to, and sometimes those songs just stick in your head.

  Do you have any particular favorites this time of year?

  I'll get us started... One time I even sang this song out loud while in the car (while doing return visits) because I liked it and it didn't contain the word "Christmas"...

  Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow

  Oh the weather outside is frightful

  But the fire is so delightful

  And since we've no place to go

  Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

  It doesn't show signs of stopping

  And I've bought some corn for popping

  The lights are turned way down low

  Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

  When we finally kiss goodnight

  How I'll hate going out in the storm!

  But if you'll really hold me tight

  All the way home I'll be warm

  The fire is slowly dying

  And, my dear, we're still goodbying

  But as long as you love me so

  Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

  "Christmas with the Devil" - Spinal Tap

  The elves are dressed in leather
  And the angels are in chains
  (Christmas with the Devil)
  The sugar plums are rancid
  And the stockings are in flames
  (Christmas with the Devil)
  There's a demon in my belly
  And a gremlin in my brain
  There's someone up the chimney hole
  And Satan is his name
  The rats ate all the presents
  And the reindeer ran away
  (Christmas with the Devil)
  There'll be no Father Christmas
  'Cause it's Evils holiday
  (Christmas with the Devil)
  No bells in Hell
  No snow below-
  Silent Night, Violent Night
  So come all ye unfaithful
  Don't be left out in the cold
  You don't need no invitation, no...
  Your ticket is your soul

  I like a lot of them, they are so damn catchy you can't help but hum them--especially if you work in retail!

  I have to say tho, I dig Peggy Lee's "Rockin Around the Christmas Tree." Good Holiday cheese!! And of course anything Bing Crosby or Nat King Cole sings in the way of Christmas song is good stuff.

  As for modern artists, Harry Connick Jr. has a new Christmas CD that's very good. And I love Destiny's Child's version of Chorus of the Bells. It's good alright!

  And even tho it's not a true holiday song, they do play it a lot at Christmas, Louis Armstrongs "What a Wonderful World"

  (Can you tell I work in retail?)

  I'm kind of partial to this classic: The Restroom Door Said Gentlemen

  (Tune: "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen")

  The restroom door said "Gentleman"
  And so I walked inside,
  I took two steps and realized
  I'd been taken for a ride,
  I heard high voices, turned
  and found the place was occupied,
  By two nuns, three old ladies and a nurse,
  What could be worse
  Than two old nuns, three old ladies and a nurse...

  The restroom door said "gentlemen"
  It must have been a gag,
  As soon as I walked in there
  I saw an old hag,
  She sprayed me with a can of mace
  And slapped me with her bag,
  I could tell this just wouldn't be my day,
  What can I say?
  This just wasn't turning out to be my day...

  The restroom door said "gentlemen"
  And I would like to find,
  That crummy little creep
  Who had the nerve to switch the sign,
  'Cause I have two black eyes
  And one big bruise on my behind,
  So I can't sit with comfort and joy
  Boy, oh boy,
  No, I'll never sit with comfort and joy.

  How about this classic by the Irish Rovers?

  ====================================
  Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer
  ====================================
  
  
  Grandma got run over by a reindeer
  Walking home from our house Christmas eve.
  You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
  But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.
  
  
  She'd been drinkin' too much egg nog,
  And we'd begged her not to go.
  But she'd left her medication,
  So she stumbled out the door into the snow.
  
  
  When they found her Christmas mornin',
  At the scene of the attack.
  There were hoof prints on her forehead,
  And incriminatin' Claus marks on her back.
  
  
  Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
  Walkin' home from our house Christmas eve.
  You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
  But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.
  
  
  Now were all so proud of Grandpa,
  He's been takin' this so well.
  See him in there watchin' football,
  Drinkin' beer and playin' cards with cousin Belle.
  
  
  It's not Christmas without Grandma.
  All the family's dressed in black.
  And we just can't help but wonder:
  Should we open up her gifts or send them back?
  
  
  Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
  Walkin' home from our house Christmas eve.
  You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
  But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.
  
  
  Now the goose is on the table
  And the pudding made of fig.
  And a blue and silver candle,
  That would just have matched the hair in Grandma's wig.
  
  
  I've warned all my friends and neighbours.
  Better watch out for yourselves."
  They should never give a license,
  To a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves.
  
  
  Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
  Walkin' home from our house, Christmas eve.
  You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
  But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

  SILVER BELLS

  Jay Livingston and Ray Evans

  ---

  City sidewalks, busy sidewalks

  Dressed in holiday style

  In the air there's a feeling of Christmas

  Children laughing, people passing

  Meeting smile after smile

  And on ev'ry street corner you hear:

  Silver bells, silver bells

  It's Christmas time in the city

  Ring-a-ling, hear them ring

  Soon it will be Christmas day

  Strings of street lights, even stop lights

  Blink a bright red and green

  As the shoppers rush home with their treasures

  Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch

  This is Santa's big scene

  And above all this bustle you hear:

  Silver bells, silver bells

  It's Christmas time in the city

  Ring-a-ling, hear them ring

  Soon it will be Christmas day

  Here's one we can appreciate in the cold climate

  WALKING IN MY WINTER UNDERWEAR

  Sleigh bells ring and I'm listening,
  But I'm turning and twisting.
  'Cause I'm itching up here,
  And I'm scratching down there,
  I'm walking in my winter underwear.
  
  Now, the front is all battered,
  And the back is is all tattered,
  But, when I'm cold to the core,
  I walk through the "trap door",
  And up into my winter underwear.
  
  Vell, I don't care if it rains or snows or freezes.
  I yam so warm I yust don't give a hoot.
  I put on all the stockings I can locate,
  And I wear two pair of trousers with my suit.
  
  But then I start to perspire
  And then it sets me on fire.
  'Cause I'm itching up here,
  And I'm scratching down there,
  I'm walking in my winter underwear.
  
  Vinter snow is white and glistening,
  But I'm turning and twisting.
  I gotta scratch a little here,
  I gotta scratch a little there.
  I'm walking in my winter underwear.
  
  I put my bathing suit away in moth balls,
  And now I've got to adapt to snow balls.
  Then I can't scratch my back;
  I throw myself all aback.
  I'm walking in my winter underwear.
  
  Through rain and snow and ice I do not worry.
  The winter come, I yust don't give a hoot.
  My coat and hat and earmuffs keep my cozy
  And I wear two pair of trousers with my suit.
  
  But then to cope to other clothing,
  Vell, the thing that I am loading,
  Is when my face turn blue,
  And contortions I go through,
  Walking in my winter underwear.
  
  They're from Sears-Rooobuuuck....
  Walking in my winter underwear!
