Well played.  I had a coworker from Italy named Andreas who was neither female nor plural.

Here I was not participating because I hate all Christmas music, and here you've gone and found an exception that completely slipped my mind. Now I need to go find this.

This has been in my head all day long.   At first I was a little dubious about the idea of a Bob Dylan Christmas album, but then I figured, hey, if Irving Berlin can do it, why can't Bob?

I love the way he says "Ho Ho Ho".  Actually, I pretty much love the whole dang song.  You go Bob Dylan.  You rock on with your bad self.

ok, seriously.
this song makes me want to cry.
this song was enough of a part of my childhood that I wonder if maybe the reason I think Chrismastime is sad is because of this song.

mostly it brings up childhood memories of crying the day after christmas when all of my relatives left my house. I normally only see them once a year, and I would be so overstimulated for a few days while my house was full of yelling kids and grandparents who wanted me to tell them about everything I knew and nobody had work and presents and food and then, suddenly everyone was gone, and everything felt horrible. All of the anticipation was gone and I was lonely in my house with presents that didn't look like they did on the box.

Since college my christmas-time song has been this one, though. It reminds me of a time freshman year when it snowed, and I got off the phone with my long-distance girlfriend, telling her about how cold and horrible it was, and then listened to this song on the way to the library to study for a final.

I really love this song.  I think it's primarily the melody that gets me, but it really gets me in the gut when he sings "please no more list, send no more gifts."  Dang, Brian Wilson still wields a lot of magic.

I hate them all except for Nat King Cole.  "The Christmas Song" and "O Holy Night" FTW.  (when did I become 75 years old?)

My xmas music collection consists of a Nat King Cole CD, a few others from like Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra, and this:

I was shamed when Inev mentioned Vince Guaraldi's CD, because that is equally as good as King Cole's.  I pretty much have those two plus a couple of Bing songs on my iPod, and that is truly Christmas to me.  A toast to the classics, miles and Inev!

I wanted to write a whole album of electronic christmas music, but I only really finished one song last year, O Holy Night.  It's basically the only song on my myspace, www.myspace.com/acidlung
