I don't have a fave CD - but this is my fave Christmas song...
The Pogues and Kirsty McColl (what a great voice she had)
It was christmas eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, wont see another one
And then he sang a song
The rare old mountain dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you
4 more priceless verses...
You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old sl*t on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God its our last
I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Cant make it all alone
Ive built my dreams around you
That one always makes me cry. Right up there with "Don't Hit Your Granny with a Great Big Stick"

Jane Siberry's double cd "Child"
I pull it out at other times of the year when I need soothing.
I love that CD. It's hilarious. I have a not-so-secret crush on Steven Page. I also REALLY love the Sufjan Stevens boxed set. Some of his interpretations of different Christmas Carols are so beautiful they make me cry. My husband has been listening the Booker T. & the M.G.s Christmas album, I'm starting to love it too.
I'll have to check out Barenaked Ladies. My favorite is off of Aligator Stomp Cajun Christmas, Please Come Home for Christmas. It's the second song here (at about minute 2:30):

I used to crush on Steven Page, but ever since the bathroom sessions, I'm all about Ed.

I just don't know though--I love men who make me laugh--it's so hard to choose!
We just put in our names for the lottery on who gets to play Guitar Hero with Ed or Wine Tasting with Steve on the Ships and Dip cruise next month (and Trivia and Grilled Cheese with Kevin). Crossing my fingers I get in to at least one--it's limited seating because of the venues on the ship.
Oooh, I can't wait!

How can a grinch like me not love a christmas album with a pawn shop on the cover - with guitars and amps in the window?
Not a happy, bubbly, sugar-sweet CD, but funny and sincere. ...and it tells the story of the Department Store Santa Clause Strike.

My favorite cd's are Perry Como and Bing Crosby's but favorite songs:
Robert Earl Keen's "Merry Christmas from the Family"
and
Patsy & Elmo's "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer"
I think I have to look for Bare-naked Ladies - we have 2 of their albums... is this them doing traditional Chirstmas songs... or is it songs they have created themselves for this CD?
I think they wrote or re-arranged them all. "Naughty or nice, just consider the price to an Elf!" Sounds like an Ed song, doesn't it?
It seems like last year when they were in a parade on TV the song from the album they were singing was traditional (Jingle Bell Rock or something), but my son has monopolized the disk ever since we got it. He listens to it all year round.

My parents always used to listen to Mannheim Steamroller's Fresh Aire Christmas, so I guess I imprinted on it as a child. A bit of a guilty pleasure...
There are about 4 songs on this album that I absolutely cannot stand, but the more classical/choral pieces are exquisite.
I've, um, never actually seen the Charlie Brown christmas thing.
