And it just gets ignored by Hollywood, year after year after year ....

Originally Posted By Dabob2 <The three top tier Christmas specials that I have to see every year are - How the Grinch Stole Christmas A Charlie Brown Christmas Rankin/Bass Rudolph> That's pretty much it for me too, although if I miss Rudolph I can live. But the first two definitely. Plus a few songs (Lennon's So This is Christmas, the Kinks' Father Christmas (Gimme Some Money), the Waitresses' Christmas Wrapping, and some of the Phil Spector stuff) or it just ain't Christmas.

Originally Posted By danyoung >...Plus a few songs...< Well, if we're talking tunes, the two that I need to hear each year are The Carpenters' Merry Christmas Darling and Emerson Lake & Palmer's I Believe in Father Christmas. That whole Carpenters Christmas album is a work of art. Oh, and then Chicago's Christmas album is very cool, too!
Originally Posted By vbdad55 agree with all the specials above-- makes me feel young again.. as far as Christmas tunes-- two albums are my current faves-- Rat Pack Christmas and Jethro Tull Christmas- give either a spin, you wont be disappointed
Originally Posted By danyoung >Oh, I also must hear Bruce's Santa Claus is Coming to Town.< That one and Brenda Lee's Jingle Bell Rock are the two holiday songs I can't stand! To each our own . . . . .
