Bad Religion released a Christmas album a few years ago. 20% of the proceeds of the album go to SNAP (Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests). This is my favourite track from that album, and it's always on my Christmas playlists.

Enter the cynic ... Tom Lehrer had it right over fifty years ago.

@mollyhousemouse I posted TSO’s Carol of the Bells - the same live version - before I realized you did as well. Great minds as they say.

I don't particularly like this song per se, 

But I adore Death Cab for Cutie. And it's such a melancholy version as one might expect

Another TSO song, that is my absolute favorite by them! The lights are good too.

I have their Christmas CD, but that’s not on it, so thanks for posting it, A.

I'm rather fond of him also, to say the least.  I was going to college in the mid 1960's when he was in his prime.  He was the welcome antithesis to my conservative upbringing.  The Vatican Rag is my all-time favorite.

Your initial offering here is making great background music while I'm at the computer.  🙂

Bing Crosby takes me back to my childhood for sure.  Good one!

A lot of interesting variety posted here.

I love that one. Also have a soft spot for The Masochism Tango. And then I love the nerdier ones like The Elements and New Math. But the darker the better, really. The Irish Ballad, Poisoning Pigeons in the Park, The Old Dope Pedler... Haha, I should stop before I mention his entire body of work.
