Ugh… About the only “holiday” music I can stand are the winter themed albums by Nox Arcana. Almost entirely instrumental, and not connected to any particular holiday.
Well… that and a recent lesbian-themed cover of “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus,” but well… I’m a lesbian and that appeals to me (the video is also extremely adorable, as it features the artist with her wife and their kid).
I just looked up the video, and it is precious (also, just a great cover of the song, too).
My holiday music leans secular, but I grew up in choir with traditional religious carols, so those have a special place in my heart, though I totally get that they aren’t everyone’s thing.
December 1st to December 31st is when I am allowed to play my Christmas music, then they make me turn it off. If I had it my way my car would have nonstop Christmas joy all year round
My favorite holiday music is the classic winter suite, “Nanook of the North/St. Alfonzo’s Pancake Breakfast” (Zappa). My niece still remembers the first time I played it for her.
I’m fond of the standard tune “Chipmunks Roasting on an Open Fire,” too. 🙂

I got the music together for our road trip. Not a single holiday music among the cds lol!

I like the Twisted Sister Christmas album. My girlfriend hates it.

I enjoy a mix of both offbeat stuff and traditional. And I am a sucker for acapella music…pretty much year round.

Oh, so if you like acapella, have you heard this one by Straight No Chaser? (12 Day of Christmas) http://bit.ly/2l7IYBE

I like to listen to it between Thanksgiving and Christmas. It loses some of its “specialness” for me if I listened to it year round.
