Christmas music

I'm not one of those people who gets all excited about Christmas music. Or even likes it, really. But I have heard a few that have made me smile.

I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas is really cute. So is The 12 Days of Christmas as sung by the Muppets. Let's be honest: any time the Muppets are on the radio (which is more often than you might expect), it's a reason to smile.

And this version of the 12 days, by Straight No Chaser, is really cool -- and the Hanukkah moment gets the biggest laugh (give it a minute to get into it).

But I'm still waiting to hear You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch. That's my favorite Christmas song, by far.
