As embarrassing as it is to admit, we all have our favorite christmas songs. List some of them here.

Note that posting "So this is christmas" by John Lennon is grounds for immediate termination of your salty membership.

I mostly like the songs my parents used to play, minus the smooth jazz boney james crud:
all the vince guaraldi christmas songs
the drifters - white christmas, featuring the early 2000s flash video you saw in the high school computer lab
some big band and early 20th century pop renditions by artists I can't remember right now

This live version is better in my opinion; starts it off with silent night (xmas relevance ha aha ho), and the lyrics are sang with mostly different emphasis and it just seems to work better in front of an audience but I have a hunch you've seen this already


"Ring Out (Ye Crystal Spheres)" is really cool but there's no good audio version online
