With the Christmas season upon us, I need some holiday tunes for the pseduo-iPod (actually, it's a Sansa). My caveat: No songs that you would reasonably expect to hear at a Catholic grade-school's Christmas pagent. No Frosty the Snowman, no Jingle Bells, no Silent Night and no Hark the Herald Angels Sing. I don't care if Pop Diva XYZ does the best version of "Away in a Manger" ever or if Punk Band #477 does this awesome riff on "White Christmas" or if the Indie Garage Band of the Month made "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" into a funeral dirge. I don't want to hear it. Actually, that last one might be kind of cool.
Anyway, lay some tune suggestions on me.

Anything by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra that's Christmas-related (most of it is).

Thirded. What little I've heard is awesome.
People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome. ~River Tam

Mariah Carey - All I Want for Christmas is You.
Seconding John Lennon.
Not a Christmas song per se, but Long December by Counting Crows.

Is it too late to say Trans-siberian Orchestra?

I like "Christmas Day" by Dido and the BNL & Sara M. version of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. Oh and "Merry Christmas Baby" by Springsteen.

this is probably my most favorite holiday song, followed with a good rendition of Grandma got Run Over by a Reindeer

Third'd.
And BNL's version of Jingle Bells is the greatest depressing/happy-maniac (in one song!) Jingle Bells ever. It can be done. I know you hate it, but listen to it just for the experience.

Harry Connick Jr's "Ava Maria" gets my Christmas motor running. And just about any version of "O Holy Night", but Celene and Mariah seem to be my top two for that song.
From the research I did, Sansa equipment is pretty crappy. For a non-iPod I opted for our Creave Labs Zen which is pretty cool.
you know how I know you're gay? you *want* to listen to crappy christmas music.

My mp3 player needs are pretty modest: I download or rip songs and it makes them come out from my headphones or car radio. I've no interest in or use for the video/picture features or special music channels or whatever else it has. I have heard complaints about its special video/image file format but I'll never tinker with it anyway.
No complaints with the "make music play" portion of it though.

Christmas With the Vandals: Oi to the World
is a brilliant Christmas album. "Oi to the world" being, of course, the greatest Christmas Punk song after:
I still get shivers down my spine every time I hear it.

C is for your little ****, when I go down beneath.
H is for your pubic hair that sticks between my teeth.

Christmas comes but once a year and makes me fUcking sick.
S is for your sh*tty aSshole, clinkers 'round your bum,
T is for your massive tits that make me want to ***.
M is for ************* when you're not here with me.
A is for the agony of catching your vd.
S is for the syphilis that rots away my prick,
Christmas comes but once a year and makes me fUcking sick.
S is for the syphilis that rots away my ding-dong merrily along, the chapel bells are ringing, ding-dong merrily along, my fUcking balls are swinging.
Whoa, whoa whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa, whoa, whoa whoa....the chapel bells are ringing.
Whoa, whoa whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa, whoa, whoa whoa...my fUcking balls are swinging!

Operatica Christmas Classics Link
Old Christmas classics mixed with Opera and Electronics. Heard them last night for the first time so I am not sure how good the album is but worth a listen if you like that kind of funky mix.

haha, I love that version...mostly because it gives me an opportunity to laugh at David Bowie for being such a pompous ***.
