Someone mentioned department store musak - which reminded me (along with pulling out my CD's to take to the office) ... I love listening to Mannheim Steamroller, particularly when I am somewhere like work and just want something festive in the air.

I've also always enjoyed Thistlehair the Christmas Bear by Alabama and a college favorite John Denver and the Muppets version of "We wish you a Merry Christmas"... I sooooo love Animal on the song (won't go! won't go! won't go!!!) and Miss Piggy thinking they are saying PIGGY pudding instead of FIGGY pudding *cracks up all over again* ... My roommate and I had this as our answering machine message at Christmas time.
