Favorite Christmas album : Sunfjan Stevens "Songs for Christmas" if you listen to this and don't like it then you are scrooged for sure. 42 songs that you will gladly listen to over and over like some kind of musical ride.

Favorite Christmas song : Julian Casablancas put out a catchy remake of "I wish it was Christmas today" last year.

Music that feels like Christmas to me in a lo-fi kind of way...
-The Drums : Down by the water & I need fun in my life
-Real Estate : Green River, Snow Days, Fake Blues
-Beach Fossils : Youth, Time, Daydream

So to the thread title.....I love music at Christmas time....Music is part of the magic....

Dimmu Borgir - "Tormentor of Christian Souls" is a pretty good Christmas tune for the whole family to enjoy.

Haha, thanks. I'm gonna try to convince her to stick to Kenny G's christmas album. It's much easier on the ears since it's just instrumental.

Kenny G? Really? You'd better set the alarm clock first. That crap will put you into a coma so deep that Christmas will come and go three times before you wake from it.

I love Sufjan Stevens. Didn't know he had a Christmas album, but I listened to some of it tonight. Thanks for the tip!

Love traditional Christmas music. I have been putting it on myself when I get home every day. Only listen to it for a month, so I don't get sick of it personally.

The whole point is that I don't have to listen to it, it's much easier to tune out than Michael Bolton or Boney M.

Christmas music is fine, but not too early. My wife used to be a music teacher and would start playing it in September if I let her. When she asks when I think Christmas music should start, I generally tell her around Dec. 22 is fine. Before that is too soon.

Hey, I heard a comical version of the 12 Days of Christmas but only the last part. It ended with these two guys talking over the music and was hilarious. Does anyone know that song so I can find it? No, it wasn't the Bob and Doug Mckenzie version.
