Default Great Christmas songs

Twisted Sister doing Come all Ye Faithful. This video is incredible. Sarah Jessica Parker is awesome as Twisted Sister's lead singer.



Twisted Sister doing Silver Bells. Another great vid.



Billy Idol doing Jingle Bell Rock, further solidifying his cred.

The Ohio Players Happy Holidays is the best Christmas song ever. End of story. Unfortunately this is only the first part.



Also, never forget Christmas in Hollis

For my 2007 Christmas Mix disc, Low made the cut 3 times.

Here is my current favorite Christmas tune. "Just Like Christmas."

Here is the abominable, awful version of O Holy Night, that I have posted before. This article actually uncovers the real singer:

You can click on the thing in the article to listen to the song.

There has to be a song in there to bum everyone out...

I pep things back up again with Jose Feliciano, though.

I love this song. I wish they would have started with the traditional "1, 2, 3, 4...." though...

Bonus points for hanging the zebra skin on the window.

I too have a Twisted Sister Christmas, I didn't think anybody else knew about it. Their 12 Days of Christmas is kind of funny, getting tattoos and leather jackets.

My favorite Christmas album is from Harry Connick Jr. Happy ho ho ho to you!

The best version of O Holy Night that I've heard is from Michael Crawford.
