Yea, I know most people despise Christmas songs. I mean, how many times can one hear "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer", without actually wanting to run in front a charging herd of deer? But let's stick with the positive, shall we?
I'll kick it off with the playing of the Wood....

Quite an obvious one, particularly on this forum where there seem to be some Kinks fans:
Now that I hear to it attentively, the lyrics are among the worst I've heard. "When I was small I believed in Santa Claus, though I knew it was my dad"... so... did you believe in Santa Claus? Or did you know it was your dad?

I've always been a little surprised that Jeff has never released a Christmas single.Maybe he didn't want to compete with Roy.

Very cute.
Reminds me a bit of Helmut's ELO band.

The band Grandaddy did this rather quirky tribute to both Alan Parsons, and Christmas.

I don't know, they sound like a bunch of drunk hillbillies.
