You got sucked in, didn't you? Now you're oozing Christmas spirit and nobody wants to know you.

Lol that's a bit extreme but the reindeer and Christmas light all over my van might disagree.

My favorite religious hymn. My second favorite. My favorite is when my then VERY young son sang it for me in church one Christmas Eve as a Christmas present.

Bing Crosby - O Holy Night (1962) - YouTube

My favorite secular Christmas tune.

Or, can you imagine the season without Johnny Marks?

It would seem Burl and Brenda could not!

You're close, lol: Feliz Navidad.
Which reminds me of another classic: Merry Christmas [from the family] by Robert Earl Keen. Makes me laugh every time I hear it.

Great song! I've got a live version somewhere with audience participation.

While not exactly a Christmas song, it does have Christmas in the title and Minneapolis. Tom Waits - Christmas card from a hooker in Minneapolis (with lyrics on screen) - YouTube

My first guess is that most of us "geezers" have more class than that!

After being bombarded by around-the-clock Christmas songs for the last couple of weeks at truck stops and stores, I'd have to say… None. Sincerely Mr. Scrooge
