Regarded as one of the classic surf/instrumental rock n’ roll holiday albums, I’m sure most of you already have the songs in your collection. You may even have the original LP. I only have it on CD, so I’ll be scooping this up – it’ll be perfect going between this album and the Phil Spector Christmas album I picked up from Sundazed last year.

This list is a mix of everything that I’ve been diggin’ this holiday season. There’s a little bit of everything, but my main criteria is simply listing the songs that have buzzed around my head the most. The song here include some surf, some classic and some that are just downright cheesy. In no particular order, here goes:

1. Frank Sinatra & Family – I Wouldn’t Trade Christmas
2. The Spotnicks – Parade Of The Wooden Soldiers
3. Weird Al – Christmas At Ground Zero
4. Los Straitjackets – Deck The Halls
5. Bryan Adams – Reggae Christmas
6. Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer Soundtrack – We Are Santa’s Elves
7. Star Wars Christmas Album – Christmas In The Stars
8. The Ventures – Sleigh Ride
9. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy – Mr. Heatmiser

If you grew up in the 50′s – 80′s, this site is packed with all the shows you remember from your childhood. This month they’ve been featuring tons of holiday specials, Christmas episodes of various TV shows, and musical performances. Faves so far include the Thunderbirds Christmas episode, Judy Garland’s trippy appearance on Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show, the Christmas episode from C.H.i.P.s, and the Garry Moore show from the 50′s.
