Spanishdavid, thank you so much for that!! I hadn't seen any Chris Isaak video yet this season. He is fantastic- and he's got some nice Christmas originals of his own, not just covers.
Woo! I'm in the Christmas spirit now!

Nope, Mabel Scott. Search her on youtube, there are a couple tunes but I think Boogie Woogie Santa Claus is the only one that went anywhere.

Run Rudolph Run-I never heard that song before a true gem! is this the version you mean, besides Brian's?
I like Brian's too-now why can't he play Christmas music THAT way, without all those horns?? hate those darn horns, irritating to me the Saxaphone sound is always sexy to me though, like that!

First of all........DAVID That was awesome to put up on this thread! Chris Issak.......Love him!
Fave Christmas Songs I Got my Love to Keep ME Warm & What are You Doing New Year's EVE, Ella Fitzgerald
Santa Baby Harry Connick Jr. versions of Siver Bells , Christmas Waltz and Mary's Little Boy Child Darlene Love Baby Please Come home also U2's version of this song is awesome. Ella Fitzgerald, Guy Lombardo..............Too many to think.
I heard Return to Sender in my head by Elvis today. I picked up my mail. And that's what it said on the envelope of Sharky's Christmas Card that I had sent.

I can't view any of the clips anyone has posted, and I'm really bummed! Maybe I should've asked Santa for some technical ability. Hmmm..... too late now.
Everyone will probably think I'm weird, but my all time favorite is Silent Night. My all time favorite version is by Mannheim Steamroller. Too technologically challenged to put up a clip. I'm sure there's something out on YouTube if no one's ever seen it. Otherwise, yes...I know. It's cheesy. But I still like it. Most like seeing it performed in person.
Love singing it in church too, as long as there's a good organ & organist in the house! By candelight is preferable too. Very moving song, for me anyway. Happy Holidays, all!

Kelley, no,I meant the original by Chuck Berry or Dave Edmunds did a fine version.Brian certainly nailed it on the Xmas extravaganza though didn't he? Awesome Cheers Steve
I agree with Seterado and ChooChooHotub, as my favorite Setzer Christmas tune is also So They Say It's Christmas.
As for What Are You Doin' New Year's Eve, I love that one too, but that holiday isn't for another week, let's get through one holiday at a time first aye matey! (Just kidding here)HaHaHa.
As for other artists, besides Setzer and the other main ones, Bing Crosby, Gene Autry, Nat King Cole, etc. my favorite is actually Vince Guaraldi (Charlie Brown Christmas). Here's the most recognized song from the holiday special, but the rest of the album is wonderful as well.
