Belatedly, I've been building a list of Christmas/December songs that
are on digital albums in my collection - I've reached 1,250 songs so
far; most are from 40s, 50s, 60s, but there's quite a few later ones
as well. (yes, that means I have mp3, m4a, or flac flies for all of
these songs)

Two big advantages of using albums: obviously more efficient than
looking for singles; there are words in song titles on Xmas albums
that one might never think of looking for (eg "Beatnik's Wish").

Anyway, here are (for me at least) a few amusing artist names
or song names that I've come across:

Albert King - Santa Claus Wants Some Lovin'
Alma Cogan - Never Do A Tango With An Eskimo
Alton Ellis & The Lipsticks - Merry Merry Christmas
Bad Detectives - Cadillac Under My Christmas Tree
Betty Johnson - I Want Eddie Fisher For Christmas - 1954
amusing because this pre-dates Elvis & the Beatles
Big John Greer - We Want To See Santa Do The Mambo
Buck Owens - Santa Looked A Lot Like Daddy
Cathy Sharpe - Will Santa Come To Shanty Town?
Ebineezer Scrooge Appreciation Society - Hang On Rudolph
Eddie Campbell - Santa's Messin' With The Kid
Elton John - Merry Christmas Maggie Thatcher
Gayla Peevey - I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas
Granville Williams Orch. - Santa Claus Is Ska-Ing To Town
Holly Golightly - Christmas Tree's On Fire
Kinky Friedman - Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis
Little Timmy Tinsel & The Fairy Lights - Blotto In The Grotto
Marian Call - Christmas in L.A. (Yippee Ki Yay)
Oscar The Grouch - I Hate Christmas
Patsy Raye - Beatnik's Wish - 1959
Red Peters - Holy Shit It's Christmas
She & Him - All I Want for Christmas Is You
The Epileptic Hillbilly's - Another Christmas Without You
The Marquees - Santa Done Got Hip - 1959
The Rimshots - Santa Stole My Whiskey
Virginia Kegal (on Bob & Tom) - I Want A Boob Job For Christmas

The Supremes - Silver Bells
The Supremes - The Children's Christmas Song
The Supremes - The Christmas Song
