Being a US based site I'm not gonna try to inflict UK Christmas songs at you so instead I'll choose this one (which isn't really anything to do with Christmas but makes me smile at anytime of the year)

I love the old stuff. Burl Ives, Bing, Dino, Anne Murray, etc.

Can't believe that Robert Earl Keene's "Merry Christmas From The Family" hasn't been mentioned. Any song that starts with "Mom got drunk and dad got drunk" is going to be fun.

I like the classics Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, Gene Autry... However, I just recently heard a Christmas Album by Ana Gasteyer called Sugar and Booze. It's a jazzy kind of Christmas album with some fun and funny songs as well as a few favorites. It's on Spotify.

Elvis Presley ~ Blue Christmas (song)

My 5 year old did this song with her class for their school Christmas concert. It is now one of my favorites and I even learnt it on the guitar for her. Still no duets though!
