I was working on this mix a few days before this jolly seasonal contest was announced and then it got put to one side. Now it is no longer Christmas it feels safe to post this.
Most Christmas pop songs are so bad that rather than inducing a good measure of seasonal goodwill they are more likely to push someone into going postal. But... there are a few Christmas songs that are not so shite. Happy Crimbo one and all!

tracklist
| 1 | Chuck Berry : Run Run Rudolph |
|
The best Christmas rock songs are the one where there is no real attempt by the musicians to throw in bells and tinkly christmas dross. Just a vague relationship to something to do with Christmas, maybe one of those "Santa coming down your chimney tonight" lines blues and R&B writers love so much, and in this case a good dose of Chuck Berry rock and roll.

| 2 | Eartha Kitt : Santa Baby |
|
This contains the best interpretation of the whole Santa coming down your chimney thing. Eartha Kitt makes it sound like he will be put on some sex offenders register if he does, but that it will still be worth it!

| 3 | Elvis Presley : Santa Claus Is Back In Town |
|
From the end of the fifties era when Elvis really was the king of kings. In this stupid but brilliant parody of himself, we see Elvis coming in a big black cadillac.

| 4 | Charles Brown : Merry Christmas Baby |
|
Another recording that brings the true meaning of a sexy Christmas back. There are a million and one versions of this, but accept only this slinky piano driven original and one other. (We will get to that!)

| 5 | ALbert King : Santa Claus Wants Some Lovin' |
|
We skip from the fifties to the seventies because the sixties were pretty much a Christmas song good taste-free zone. Here, an anguished King Albert makes it clear that in return for all these presents, Santa knows what he wants, and believe me, he wants some!

| 8 | The Everly Brothers : Christmas Eve can kill you |
