Christmas Music -- The Best and Worst

post some of your favorite Christmas songs... and some that just make you want to rip your ears off.

my best:
-Ella Fitzgerald, The Christmas Song
-Simon and Garfunkel, Silent Night (Seven O'Clock News)
-Tracy Chapman, O Holy Night

my worst:
-Dominic the Donkey
-that annoying jingle bells number by Barbara Streisand
-any take on the 12 days of Christmas (popular on my local radio stations are "12 Italian Days of Christmas," and "12 Drunken Days of Christmas").
 
Best:
The Nutcracker Suite
Rudolph The Rednose Reindeer - Jewel
Zat you, Santa Claus? - Garth Brooks

Worst:
Can't think of anyone off the top of my head

Also, I'm partial to any Christmas music arranged for brass quintet (or any brass quintet music in general, really...). I actually think my mom has a Canadian Brass Christmas CD that I'll need to steal from her when I next go back home...I can't help it, I was a French Horn player. 😛
