That's way better than the shite every damn shop has blaring out through tinny speakers at the moment. It's no wonder I hate christmas......

I loved the Ventures remember them from the 60's loved PIPELINE

I hate Xmas music, too (that includes hymns).

My TSO CD's get a lot of play every Christmas.

I always liked Herb Alberts X.Mas album also.

I see they've blocked the Ventures classic 1965 Christmas album I posted,
however all the songs seem to be available separately on youtube.
BTW this now 50 year-old album was just reissued in a 2 CD set featuring stereo and original mono mixes.

Here's the new classic 'Tis the Season for Los Straightjackets, another wonderful Christmas album from 2002.
It's done very much in the same style, a kind of tip-of-the Mexican wrestling mask tribute to The Ventures.

A favorite of mine is God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, a mashup of the title song, Pipeline and the solo from Runaway.

Happy holidays to all, whether you celebrate or not!

Thanks for starting a nice thread. Too bad about those that hate Christmas or the music; why do they read a thread with this title?

I've become a big fan of Mannheim Steamrollers Christmas albums:

Wow thanks Carol, I've just got a like from you on a post I did from... (24th Dec 2013, 10:32 AM - 1 Like)

I know you've got deep snow... but having to go back three years in posts.

Seasons Greetings to you, good news to hear your Lab is recovering.

There are particular Christmas songs I get tired of, but generally I like to hear the full range of it, from traditional, to pop, to the most off-beat and funniest novelty songs. The rock-and-roll band Rotary Connection had a great Christmas album of original songs and uniquely arranged favorites. I have it on vinyl. Don't know if exists in a digital form.

I think this counts as holiday music?
