I've always liked that song from Home Alone. it's a woman signing and it goes something like this.

"hmm hmmm hmm 'round the christmas tree hmm hmm hmm."

If anything, it gots to be:

Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses

But for the most part, I hate Christmas songs. My heart goes out to those in retail. I was only in there for a couple minutes, and I had to get out. My eyes kept doing that opening too wide fear response thingy.

For me, Christmas would not be complete without Johnny Mathis' extremely out-of-the-closet rendition of "Sleigh Ride."

I don't know who's a real big fan of Goodfellas, but I've always guessed that a few of the Xmas songs in the movie were sung by Ronnie Spector. I'm thinking of a scene in a bar after the Lufthaunsa heist where 'Frosty the Snowman' is playing and Jimmy is greeting all the guys when they come in.

Both of these are in Goodfellas, matro fack.

But Spector and girl groups were a big part of my early childhood listening as well.

Merci beaucoup...I always figured that was the case. I'm going to have to hunt for those, I'm not big on Xmas music, but I do like those very much.
