    Going out on a limb, but it seems we lack a thread dedicated to Christmas music and the sharing thereof. So, uh, maybe let's have one? Feel free to submit anything seasonally apropros.



    Never really enjoyed the arrangements of the Greater Doxology that I grew up with, but I really dig this take.

    Not fond of Christmas. At least this sounds energetic and Rock & Roll enough...

    At the risk of horrifying everyone, this is an actually sentimental Christmas song. It's also Tim Minchin, though, so make of that what you will. He's f'ing brilliant- just normally a little more controversial than this..

    I'd say nice segue, but that's probably an insult to Tim.

    Indie xmas songs are more depressing, but still get me in the spirit

    Here's a free download of a Christmas album that I enjoy. Every year Sleeping at Last (aka Ryan O'Neal) offers this for free and he adds a new song to it every year as well. All tips go to charity.

    It's mellow. My favorite track is O Come, O Come, Emmanuel

    I really like these two songs from The Modern Post (Dustin Kensrue)
    Very different from your average Christmas song -


    I dig the vintage bass tone on this one:

    I don't typically enjoy Garrels's vocal style but I did enjoy this one.

    Make it red wine and Metal for me. As I am getting older I detest Christmas more and more. Time for Soul...

    Yeah, I admit that in reality, I prefer red, and am not a huge fan of too much sun :)

    Despite constant radio airplay around the holidays, this never gets old to me. Such a good song.
