Well, its that time year so i thought i'd post an item about christmas...or
more specifically christmas songs.  What is YOUR favorite christmas song?
Also, I'm trying to figure out the name of a certain song and the kid's movie
that its from. It sorta goes: "I'm mister warm christmas....everything i
touch, starts to melt in my clutch...ect.

"O Come Emmanuel" has always been my favorite, then "The 12 Days of Christmas"
by those two yooper-sounding guys, and finally "The 12 Days of Christmas" done
as a parody...there's a thing about putting up the lights, Christmas cards,
kids whining, etc.  I wish I knew who did it.

"Angels We Have Heard on High" is a fave. I just dig the lyrics. And.. 
oh, shoot. I can't remember the title, but it has the "O Night Divine" 
chorus in it. 

But the best of all time: "Santa Claus Go Straight to the Ghetto" by 
James Brown. Hell yeah!!!

Sounds like I need to do some shopping.  :)  

Aside from the Messiah (which is at best only arguably Christmas music) 
and Captain Kangaroo's Nutcracker Suite (which I would be vastly 
surprised if anyone else here has heard), hmm.  Carol of the Bells, 
though I haven't heard a good version in a long, long time.  The Boars 
Head, ditto.  Lots of old, obscure carols that I only know because my 
father somehow manages to find recordings of obscure Christmas music 
around this time of year.  This is the one time of year when he has any 
talent whatsoever for procuring decent music.
