Holiday Musical Theatre Songs

hey guys...as a christmas gift this year I'm planning on burning all my friends CDs of holiday songs from musicals. Can you all help me out? Hopefully enough good songs exist to make a whole CD out of. I already have "New Deal For Christmas", "We Need A Little Christmas", "Turkey Lurkey Time"...there's bound to be more out there! Please any help at all is appreciated!

PS...I'd like to include other winter holidays besides Christmas, so any holiday song would work! Also maybe some new years songs?? Thanks!

"Who Says There Aint No Santa Claus?" from FLAHOOLEY!

On a Ben Bagley E.Y. Harburg album (I think it is on CD) there is "Sing The Merry", the scathing but funny Christmas song from FLAHOOLEY! (that was cut on the road) about spending money on gifts, complete with cash register jingle bells.

The big christmas bells are ringing in rent is so much fun.

By the way, I love the Twelve Days to Christmas in She Loves Me.

Also I don't know if there is an album, but Meredith Wilson wrote a christmas spectacular, and I think that it was original music? Anyone know if it was orig? THANKS

Stevos, are you thinking of HERE'S LOVE (I mentioned it above) which is a musical adaptation of Miracle on 34th St? It opened with the whole darn Thanksgiving Parade on stage!

May I suggest both A Broadway Christmas and a Hollywood Christmas both released by Varese Sarabande and produced by Bruce Kimmel with many familar vocalists on both cds.

I have the Carols for a Cure CD 2002 and it's a good Christmas album. You should get that (I think its cheap) and burn that for your friends. =-)

"Surabuya Santa" from Songs For a New World. It's hysterical. It's Mrs. Santa Claus lamenting about her husband and their relationship. It's one of the funniest Broadway songs I've ever heard.
