Music Monday: Xmas Music

I like xmas. I like the traditions, the cookies, the family, the egg nog, the decorations, the candy, the smells (pine, cinnamon, etc.), and much more. Slate's Jody Rosen brings us Why Bob Dylan's Christmas Album Isn't a Joke, which gets at the heart of why I like xmas music so much.

Some videos of Xmas music I like:

• Mannheim Steamroller: Little Drummer Boy (with synchronized lights)
• Vince Guaraldi: O Tannenbaum (this is the sound of xmas for me)
• Stan Kenton: Good King Wenceslas
