To be honest, I'm a sucker for any Mannheim Steamroller remake. What are y'alls? My best is MS doing "Carol of the Bells" I can listen to that all day.
Now, this thread disregards good Rankin/Bass songs, of which "One foot in front of the Other" would reign supreme...
I'm Mr. White Christmas I'm Mr. Snow I'm Mr. Icicle I'm Mr. 10-below Friends call me Snow Miser Whatever I touch Turns to snow in my clutch I'm too much. I'm Mr. Green Christmas I'm Mr. Sun I'm Mr. Heat Blister I'm Mr. 101 Friends call me Heat Miser Whatever I touch Starts to melt in my clutch I'm too much. EDIT: I just read this: NOT FAIR!!!!
To be fair, my brother and I always have to do the Snidely Whiplash "greedy hands" when we sing this... When you're not concerned about getting laid, and you do this, hilarity ensues.

Robert Earl Keen - Merry Christmas from the Family Mom got drunk and Dad got drunk at our Christmas party We were drinking champagne punch and homemade eggnog Little sister brought her new boyfriend He was a Mexican We didn't know what to think of him until he sang Felis Navidad, Felis Navidad Brother Ken brought his kids with him The three from his first wife Lynn And the two identical twins from his second wife Mary Nell Of course he brought his new wife Kay Who talks all about AA Chain smoking while the stereo plays Noel, Noel The First Noel Carve the Turkey Turn the ball game on Mix margaritas when the eggnog's gone Send somebody to the Quickpak Store We need some ice and an extension chord A can of bean dip and some Diet Rites A box of tampons, Marlboro Lights Haleluja everybody say Cheese Merry Christmas from the family Fred and Rita drove from Harlingen I can't remember how I'm kin to them But when they tried to plug their motor home in They blew our Christmas lights Cousin David knew just what went wrong So we all waited out on our front lawn He threw a breaker and the lights came on And we sang Silent Night, Oh Silent Night, Oh Holy Night Carve the turkey turn the ball game on Make Bloody Mary's Cause We All Want One! Send somebody to the Stop 'N Go We need some celery and a can of fake snow A bag of lemons and some Diet Sprites A box of tampons, some Salem Lights Haleluja, everybody say cheese Merry Christmas from the Family
wham! - last christmas Last christmas I gave you my heart But the very next day you gave it away This year To save me from tears I’ll give it to someone special Once bitten and twice shy I keep my distance But you still catch my eye Tell me baby Do you recognize me? Well It’s been a year It doesn’t surprise me I wrapped it up and sent it With a note saying I love you I meant it Now I know what a fool I’ve been But if you kissed me now I know you’d fool me again Chorus A crowded room Friends with tired eyes I’m hiding from you And your soul of ice My God I thought you were Someone to rely on Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on A face on a lover with a fire in his heart A man under cover but you tore me apart Now I’ve found a real love you’ll never fool me again Chorus x2 A face on a lover with a fire in his heart A man under cover buy you tore him apart Maybe next year I’ll give it to someone I’ll give it to someone special.
