Favorite: can't pick just one. Depends on my mood - I like some sweet, some funny, some raucous, some foreign.
Gag: "We Wish You a Merry Christmas". I'm so sick of that song. Even the Muppets version.
Dude, that song is "Melekalikimaka". How can you hate Jimmy Buffett?

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen by BNL w/ Sarah McClaughlin (sp?)

Favorite: 3-way tie (surprise, Pfff can't make a decision) between: Vince Guaraldi's "Oh Christmas Tree", The Platters "White Christmas" and Harry Connick Jr's "What Child is This"
Gag me: I might have to re-iterate yesterday's "Hey Santa" By Wilson Phillips. 1st runner up would be "Happy Christmas (war is over)" by anyone besides John Lennon

Yeah, I love that too. The whole cd is fantastic. WCIT stands out because it just gives me CHILLS. Harry is so talented with his arrangements.

Favoritest: Nat King Cole's version of 'Chestnuts'.
Gag Me: All except that one, come December 10th or so. Especially this year. It's all Holly all Day here in the office. I tend to get sick of them after the umpteenth time.

I love the classical versions of the classics 
I can't stand Manheim Steamroller or anything real jazzy and remixed.
Aside: did you know that the Guy who sang "convoy" (using the name CW McCall, I forget his real name, Bill somthing I believe) started Manheim Steamroller...
