The Dredle Song?
But seriously
Father Christmas By The Kinks is my all time favorite!
2000 Miles and Christmas Wrapping are runnerups.
And who can forget the Charlie Brown Christmas Album. |

During the Viet-Nam war, Simon and Garfunkel's version of Silent Night with the news in the background announcing war casualties was pretty powerful. They should do a re-make and just use todays news.
I know-I should have left politics off this thread but someone already mentioned Christmas Wrapping and Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis.
For the Old Testament fans, I'd go with, Hannukah with Monica and It's Good to be a Jew at Christmas by Sean Altman (ex Rockapella member, these are hysterical , check em out). |

John Prine's Christmas CD from a year or so ago.
That song Bob Geldorf organized; hokey, I know, maybe fakey, but I really liked what he did.
The Simon/Garfunkel mentioned above.
