Bob Rivers has most of my holiday music.
Tech Support Rule #1 - They will lie to you. Usually intentionally.
... when I was a wee lad, I used to buy one or two 45rpms or 33rpms of Christmas music every year, and I would make myself some mix tapes (yes, I'm that old...) of my favorites, along with some not-so-typical songs about the Holidays
This is what you would typically find on them...
01 Chris De Burgh - A Spaceman Came Traveling
02 Billy Joel - She's Right On Time
03 Pretenders, the - 2000 Miles
04 John & Yoko and the Plastic Ono Band - Happy Xmas (War Is Over)
05 New Seekers - I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing
06 Bing Crosby - White Christmas
07 Bing Crosby - God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman
08 Bing Crosby & David Bowie - Peace On Earth + Little Drummer Boy
09 Frank Sinatra - I'll Be Home For Christmas
10 Elvis Presley - Blue Christmas
11 Elvis Presley - Santa Claus Is Back In Town
12 Bruce Springsteen - Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
13 Bob & Doug McKenzie - Twelve Days of Christmas
14 Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas
15 Paul McCartney - Wonderful Christmastime
16 Paul McCartney - Rudolph the Red Nosed Reggae
17 Bryan Adams - Christmas Time
18 Bryan Adams - Reggae Christmas
19 Eagles - Please Come Home For Christmas
20 Greg Lake - I Believe In Father Christmas
21 Barbra Streisand - Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
22 Rita MacNeil - Now The Bells Ring
24 Beau Dommage - 23 Décembre
Now, where did I put my glasses...

I love the Chris De Burgh song! Heh Rita MacNeil - I saw her do a duet with Stephen Page for Baby It's Cold Outside, and I couldn't watch/listen to it...

I was a big fan of the A Very Special Christmas releases in my teens, so some of my all-time faves come from those (I HIGHLY recommend 1-3)
1. Little Drummer Boy- Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band (VSC 1)- My absolute favorite, bar none.
2. Little Drummer Boy- Jars of Clay (yes, I just like the song !
)
3. I Saw Three Ships- Sting (VSC 3)
4. Oiche Chiun (Silent Night in Gaelic)- Enya (VSC 3)
5. Gabriel's Message- Sting (VSC 3)
...and, the "guilty pleasures"
1. "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch"- Whirling Dervishes
2. "Christmas Balls"-Heard it on John Boy and Billy, can't find who actually sings it.

Brian Setzer Orchestra holiday music always finds its way into my playlists, as does Bob Rivers and Mannheim Steamroller.
But it's just not festive without the classic that is Santa Claus and His Old Lady by Cheech & Chong! (Yes, I too am that old.)

)
Now I feel like singing. What to sing... Ah yes an old favorite.

I feel in the mood for Christmas music (this never, ever happens btw) and I thought it'd be a cool thing to share a few of your fave songs with your fellow Protectorites...
Here's my list of songs that are currently playing for me... (and yes, that is a German version of Silent Night... I grew up with that playing every Christmas eve).
River's Christmas Music list
C'mon guys, post your faves!
