Every time I here Meleke Maha, I cannot help but think of "Christmas Vacation".

Ahh, Christmas Music! Definitely a soft spot for me through the ages. Sooo many wonderful tunes, and "Jin-a-ling" would certainly be on my list of favorites.

Some other faves for me include the entire Charlie Brown Christmas album (with the exception of Für Elise" which just isn't a holiday song), an EP by the Cocteau Twins of "Frosty the Snowman, "and "Winter Wonderland" and a CD I found called "Hipster's Holiday" with a crazy version of Silent Night by The Tim Fuller Experience. But anything Christmas (especially older) tends to make me smile.

O Holy Night sung by a church choir is my favorite. I get a big kick out of Eartha Kitt's "Santa Baby."
