Well I must say when it comes to Christmas songs, I err on the  vintage/strange side (except for Barbara Streisand’s “Jingle Bells”……aaaarrrggggg……..I’d like to konk her on the head with a yule-log when I hear that!)

I would say any of the old crooner classics i can take year after  year….not crazy on any of the recreations or new twists….

Here are a few off the top of my head…

5) Anything from those cool Rankin & Bass Christmas shows from the 60′s and 70′s. over the top puppets singing with vibrato and reverb drenched vocals is all right by me!
4) The Lawrence Welk Christmas Show are cool…..those chicks with  that hair….why don’t women look like that anymore? pass the cheese please!
3) I have a 45 of “Marshmallow World” by Los Straitjackets that I  really like…with Jimmy on drums.
2) “Sleigh Ride” by The Ventures……never get sick of that.
1) The Vince Guaraldi “Charlie Brown Christmas” record…that record  is great start to finish, but i would say my favorite is the haunting  vocal version of “Christmas Time Is Here”.

Happy Holidays!
