Celebratin'... Christmas Sappy

Okay, we know we are saps. It's hopeless. But this is our last chance in 2008 to celebrate Christmas music, so we are tossing up the all-time faves. Warning: If you refuse to listen to anything recorded in the pre-MTV era, you will not enjoy this list.



Judy Garland, with the heartbreaking, iconic song of holiday longing, "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas," originally recorded for the film "Meet Me in St. Louis."



Elvis Presley with the best Yuletide rock of all time, the sultry "Merry Christmas, Baby."



Satchmo, Louis Armstrong his very own self, singing the most secular song of the season, "Winter Wonderland." Not even the ACLU could object to this one.


Bing Crosby crooning the most popular seasonal song of all-time, Irving Berlin's timeless standard,"White Christmas."

With that, we wish all our readers Happy Hanukkah/Merry Christmas/Good Solstice Fun Kwanzaa, etc., from everyone at The Grinder. Peace out, and we'll see you all on the 26th.
