Does "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" count as non-traditional?
Or "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas"? |

One by the Klezmonauts - "Santa Gey Gezunderheit"
"I used to think that it was tough To get the Spring Line out But here's a guy who really knows What hard work's all about Billions of deliveries With no option to be late That's a lot of schlepping Santa gey gezunderheit" |

I can think of loads of nontraditional Christmas songs I like. The one going through my head right now is Neil Young's Star of Bethlehem. I don't pretend to understand what he may have intended but, like any decent work of art, it makes me ponder the possibilities every time I hear it. And I kinda just like it, too.

That Greg Lake song has been going through my head for two days now!
Thanks for the Neil Young -- I love his stuff! Don't think I've heard that one though. |

I'm a bit confused over which Bill Nighy number.
This? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_JRyhJiXQ8 Or this one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0 |
