Holiday Songs

[theacoustician]

Tell me your favorite holiday songs. Samples are a bonus. Non-traditional renditions get you extra super lucky bonus points with sparkles on top. I shall start :

U2 - Its Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)
John Lennon - Happy X-mas (War is Over)
Rev. Horton Heat - We Three Kings
Tanya Donelly - Edelweiss
The Blind Boys of Alabama - Little Drummer Boy

It's hit or miss, but worthwhile for something different.

While completely badass you picked Mazzy Star, I don't know if I'd call that a holiday song.

My family went to see their Christmas concert a few years back and it was really nifty. You should check it out someday if you haven't already. They put on a good show.
