Ricky Zahnd and The Blue Jeaners' "Something Barked on Christmas Morning" should have been a Christmas classic. The Royal Guardsmen's "The Return of the Red Baron" - the one they don't play, at least when I'm listening to the radio, or shopping at the mall. Billy May's "Do You Believe in Santa Claus? (feat. Thurl Ravenscroft)" - yeah, the singer dude is also Tony the Tiger, and the voice behind "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch."
Peter Wood Singers and Orchestra's "Winter Wonderland" goes back before blogs really took off (2003). I no longer recall who, where, and when (I'm guessing one of those groups like y*h** or maybe a peer 2 peer thingy, I really don't recall), but someone shared this track (probably no more than 128 kbps and full of snap, crackle & pop) and it's been in my Christmas playlist almost every year since.
Little Rita Faye's "I Fell Out of a Christmas Tree" is cute, and so is Lawrence Welk's Little Band's "Outer Space Santa." Art Carney's "Santa and the Doodle-Li-Boop" is simply awesome. There's also a bit of family humor, including Allan Sherman's "The Twelve Gifts of Christmas." Enjoy, and Merry Christmas!
