I'm enjoying a great Christmas Eve/Christmas Morning time with some good Scotch (scotch, ice with a slight splash of water, of course) and listening to Pandora's Chistmas Jazz Radio while Mrs. Bones sips a margarita and wraps presents. Life is so good, my friends. Merry Christmas, and a great holiday season, to you all.

A family tradition that has become one of my all-time favs is when we all gather around the Christmas tree and sing the first and second verses of Gangster's Paradise.  Really brings the family together.  :love:

the Grinch (Jim Carrey version) soundtrack, lots of nostalgia there for me and a good change of pace

I celebrate all Christmas music but would like to confirm the following:

NSYNC - Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays - is very good

I don't know if I've said it before but Kacey Musgraves has the best modern Christmas album imo. But will check out this n*sync thing

There are 2 Christmas songs I legit IRL like and that’s
You’re a mean one mr grinch, and
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas

All others are just varying degrees of tolerated

Also, one reason I enjoy this time of year is if I want to roast any of my coworkers I will just start slinging grinch insults. No greater power move imo than looking your annoying coworker in the eye and with a straight face telling them they’re a three decker toadstool and sauerkraut sandwich      WITH ARSENIC SAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCE

Fairytale of New York by The Pogues is the one and only Christmas song that matters.  The rest is garbage in comparison.

Agreed, I'm a pretty big Bing/Andy Williams/Dean Martin/Nat King Cole sort of guy

Not even that super religious anymore but many church songs, when done well are also really nice, like Come All Ye Faithful, Joy to the World, Silent Night, etc (also many sung by the aforementioned Nat King Cole)

I'm a traditionalist, so it's Bing Crosby for me.

I've really been enjoying Josh Groban's christmas album this year.  I don't know why anyone else bothers to sing O Holy Night anymore.  He already did it best, imo.

Found some Leslie Odom, Jr Christmas music on spotify. Very nice.
