I have Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer as my ringtone on my phone. I have to post this one being that I am in Tucson, AZ. And, being so close to the Hispanic culture here, I can't wait to open all those little presents .... TAMALES!!! Yum! [video=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJwvXinE1aY][/video]

I agree, PSP!Quick story ... I had a friend who's husbands name was Chenault. They called him Chet for short. You can imagine how this song was sung to him ...... Chet's nuts roasting on an open fire la la la (ps - so sorry for making jokes after you posted such a beautiful song, but I just couldn't help myself! lol)

[video=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0AS5CIRdM4]  I am a great Otis Redding fan. I have always enjoyed his version of this song.  He only recorded 2 Christmas songs in his career.As a side note, Otis died today back in 1967 in a plane crash.  Makes me sad when I think of all the greats we have lost to soon.As Otis would say......... Take a listen. I think you will enjoy it.                                                                            Pam[/video]

Mariah is awesome! A comment was made on youtube about this song .. The awkward moment when you have no one to sing 'All I Want for Christmas is You' to. [video=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXQViqx6GMY] [/video]
