A thread for people who are glad that Paul McCartney is simply having a wonderful Christmas time, but don't feel the need to keep hearing about it.
It's that time of year again, when the entire country puts the same set of Christmas "favourites" on endless repeat and the cynics among us start to grumble that it being Christmas every day would actually be a bit of a nightmare and that maybe Chris Rea should just have set out a bit earlier to beat the traffic. So let's take the chance to listen to some of the other Christmas music; the stuff that won't make it onto that same episode of Top of the Tops 2 that they've been showing every year since 1993.
What are your lesser-known seasonal favourites? Whether profound, silly, or just plane weird, share them here and let's make a forum playlist!

Here's the excellent Keb' Mo' with a song with which I can identify far too much.

Santa Claus is Back in Town by Elvis is one of my favourites - a genuinely good R'n'B stomper

I prefer Joni's version but nice to bring in another favourite to add to the cheer...

This from Tommy Emmanuel is basically an open fire and some mulled wine in the form of music.

Maybe not the most uplifting but a lovely version
More seasonal:
In fact anything from either of those two EPs
