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

    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.

    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!

    That one and Brenda Lee's Jingle Bell Rock are the two holiday songs I can't stand! To each our own . . . . .
