Fun topic. Just had a holiday party this weekend (involved a small keg of dogfish head and a rye whiskey punch), and the most played song was probably JT/TI "My Love," but that's jsut cuz folks wanted to get down. I particularly enjoyed:

Ramones -- Merry Christmas (I don't want to fight)

Waitresses -- Christmas Wrapping

Charlie Brown, of course, though the new remaster is a lil too clean

The Walkmen -- Christmas Party (nice and boozy)

The Pogues -- Fairytale of New York

Run DMC -- Christmas in Hollis

The Darkness - Christmas Time

Sufjan -- Come on! Let's Boogie to the Elf Dance! (the traditionals are nice, too, in that reverential sort of way)

Willie Nelson -- Pretty Paper

Assorted Johnny Cash xmas songs

Bowie and Bing -- Little Drummer Boy ("Oh yes, I like some of the old stuff--John Lennon, Harry Nilsson")

Guster -- Donde esta Santa Claus

Kinks -- Father Christmas

What seasonal song do you hate? I always hated Macca's "Simply Havin' a Wonderful Christmastime," but I played it anyway.

This sounds interesting.

Great thread. I just made a huge funky-ass massy x mas mix this weekend.

My current favorites are sufjan stevens' songs....

but my all time winter favorite this year is gonna be the Knife's "Reindeer"
