My Non-Traditional Christmas Classics

As the season comes upon us, the air is filled with the traditional songs of Christmas. While the usuals are nice, I’ve grown to enjoy some non-traditional tunes over the normal ones. It’s really never Christmas to me until I work my way through them.

Therefore, I figured it’d be interesting to share a top twelve (yeah, I couldn’t limit to ten) of my favourite songs to get into the mood for the holidays. Links will take you to a YouTube version of the song in question (except for What the Hell Child is This?, which goes to Last.fm).

  1. Fairytale of New York - The Pogues w/ Kirsty MacColl
  2. This Christmas - Harry Connick, Jr.
  3. Christmas Wrapping - The Waitresses
  4. White Christmas - The Drifters
  5. Let’s Put Christ Back in Christmas - Pat Godwin
  6. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas - South Park Cast
  7. You’re A Mean One, Mr. Grinch - Thurl Ravenscroft
  8. Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel - South Park Cast
  9. Merry Christmas Everybody - Slade
  10. Wonderful Christmastime - Paul McCartney & Wings
  11. What the Hell Child is This? - Issac Hayes (Chef)
  12. Walkin’ ‘Round in Women’s Underwear - Bob Rivers

What are your non-traditional Christmas faves?
