7. It's a great album, isn't it?

I first heard about "A John Waters Christmas" in a "Fresh Air" interview with John Waters 15 or 20 years ago.

(He is one of my heroes)

3. The Brian Setzer Orchestra: Dig That Crazy Christmas

[Bayard]

4. My favorite at the moment

Heart's album, "A Lovemonger's Christmas". Has some terrific original songs on there.

I also make my own playlist though, two hours worth of xmas music by people like Bruce Springsteen, The Eagles, Kenny Loggins, The Pretenders, U2, James Taylor, Sting, etc.

One of my faves is "Oi to the World", by No Doubt. How often do you hear Indiana Jones mentioned in a xmas song?

5. Tis The Season by Jackie Gleason' Orchestra

Instrumental and absolutely beautiful and relaxing to listen to. Converted to CD.

8. Wow! That one sounds great!

11. It is the kind of music you want to listen to while you are admiring the decorations.

Sit back and enjoy.

I couldn't wait until they came out with the CD. The original was probably in the `80s? Not sure.

16. Ray Coniff

Probably not the greatest, but it's what I grew up with because my parents had it and played it every year, so I'm attached. Recorded 1962.

17. I'm Of A Certain Age.....

where this says "Christmas"

[Jane Austin]

18. Twas the Night Before Christmas (Album) by Fred Waring

and his Pennsylvanians.

This was our main Christmas album when I was growing up in the fifties.

When I listened to it after I'd grown up, I had no idea it had been so jazzy.

19. I grew up with this playing in the house every Christmas

Cant help but have a soft spot for it when I hear it now.
