All versions of the peanuts "Christmas Time is Here" song that are not sung by a group of children slightly off pitch can go.
I like Chicago's version but that's probably because my mom loves Chicago and it was as familiar to me growing up as the original.

We must have different Gods. My God said "do to others what you would have them do to you". Your God seems to have said "My Way or the Highway".

"Never know what fantasies Loesser and his wife indulged in."
Ah yes. The evil of two Loessers.

"I highly doubt Frank Loesser wrote a date rape song for his wife."
You mean the wife that later divorced him?
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Irving Berlin's "Happy Holidays":
It's the holiday season
So whoop-dee-doo

Don't forget to hang up your sock...

I think both Melissa Etheridge and Sarah MacLachlan's versions of Happy Xmas (War is Over) are pretty terrific. Etheridge, in particular. I've been looking for years for a recording of it, and I cannot find it.
I kinda love Jane Krakowski's Santa Baby. It came out right before she did Carla in NINE, and I thought it was sexy, vampy fun.
Curt Colfer and Darren Criss' Baby, It's Cold Outside is bettered only by the batSH*T crazy version by Liza and Alan Cumming.
But that Christmas Shoes song? If it was a fetus, I'd send it to Planned Parenthood.

That sounds utterly delicious.
Oh...and Reg...I so didn't give you props for the evil of two Loesser line. Well played.

I really, really hate "Do You Hear What I Hear?"
The Carpenters' version of this song is my favorite non-carol Christmas recording.
