Out here in the backwoods of Oregon where the "Silicon Forest" and the old growth forest form a border, a special treat can be heard playing on the local AM radio this time of year: Jingle Bells - played on chainsaws!

I put that right up there with [Ok the old people will know this] Jingle Bell Rock by Bobby Sherman.

My real all time favorite: got to say it...Greensleeves.

Greensleeves is great, but White Christmas sung by Bing Crosby is probably my favorite.

My favorite "fun" christmas song is "I am Santa Clause" by Bob Rivers and Twisted Radio, performed to sound like "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath, hysterical.
