A search did not show this one so apologies if it is somewhere in the 11 pages (and no, I am not going to hunt for it):

Dogs barking/"singing" Jingle Bells. My brother loved playing it, but my sister- in- law and nieces hated it. They got together and demanded that there be a clearly established limit to the number of times he could play it.

For metal fans, a former employee of mine has been trying tp break into the music business for awhile and has developed a pretty sizeable youtube following. He's done a few small tours and has been the local opening act for a few big artists. I have to be in the mood for metal personally but he has a powerful voice and recently did a pretty knockout cover of O Come O Come Emmanuel:

My favorite Christmas song changes week to week.  This week it is Mary's Boy Child by Harry Belafonte.

[Herman Cain]

I Just Go Nuts at Christmas by Yogi Yorgesson

This Is a Swedish Favorite of mine . A guy who had to much Acquavit at a Saint Lucia event I went  a few years ago got up on the Stage and sung it.

Do You Hear What I Hear is one of my favorites.

The lyricist and composer were both commissioned to write a B-track song (the flip side of an old 45 rpm disc) for Christmas in late summer 1962. It was composed at the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Here is some of the history surrounding the song. Indeed a plea for people to pray for peace everywhere.

Good King Wenceslas is not a Christmas song. It is about the Feast of Steven. 

It is, but is celebrated on Dec. 26, so close enough.

Bad Religion has a whole Christmas album. It might make you bring back the old Mohawk you've mentioned!

Their live Silent Night from the KROQ Christmas special is awesome.

If we're talking non-traditional Christmas music now, I really love Kaskade's Christmas album.  Its a nice electronic spin on some classics

I've been listening to the Bad Religion Christmas album for the past 3 Decembers.  It is FANTASTIC!!!  "What Child is This" and "Angels We Have Heard On High" are two standouts, but I love every track.
