^That album is by far one of my favorite Christmas albums of all time. Even by itself, not during the holidays, it's a fantastic album.

Really pulls at the heart strings.

So much that it almost gives me an aneurysm.

I really dig that song for some reason. Everyone I know hates it though.

Pretty much sums up my view about Christmas, plus Kate-Miller Heidke is a beautiful singer. Plus it's not about snow and shit and totally irrelevant to Australians.

This counts doesn't it?

And I don't normally like traditional xmas songs (and harbour a borderline hatred for Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer), but Good King Wenceslas is all g.

Wait, are you referring to the Christmas Shoes song? If so... actually, I don't even know what to say.

That's christmas as far as I'm concerned

I like those three a lot too. "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" has such a great melody and of course gets props for namedropping Satan.
