12 Pains is one of my favorites. I like to pull that one out every July and remind myself of what I have to look forward to. Bob Rivers is a genius of musical parody. As for the others you mentioned (and most - but not all - Christmas music commonly heard on commercial radio these days), I offer the pitchfork-in-the-head analogy, borrowed from a post earlier in this thread. To paraphrase Green Day, Wake Me Up When December Ends! Seriously, though, if I had to choose a "favorite" "straight" Christmas tune, it would have to be Stevie Nicks' rendition of Silent Night. In a word: beautiful. Jimmy Buffett's Christmas Island is up there on my list as well. And Keith in his post below, reminded me of the classic Father Christmas. Gee, I hope Santa will bring me a couple tons of coal on Chrismas so I can heat my house this winter!
Peace. On Earth, or wherever you may roam. Happy New Year, too.
