I simple get sooo exhaustedtrying to find a bunch of christmasy songs. Tips please.
This is what I've got so far. I want pretty traditional stuff - as you all can see.
I'd especially love it if you frenchies could give me some pointers. Think Serge Gainsbourg.

The Ventures – Sleigh Ride
The Starlighters – Jing-A-Ling, Jing-A-Ling
Jackson 5 – I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
Carpenters – Jingle Bells
Johnny Cash – Silent Night
Bobby Nunn – Christmas Bells
Martin Denny – Exotic Night
Kay Starr – (Everybody's Waitin' For) The Man With The Bag
The Ventures – Frosty The Snowman
Ferrante & Teicher – Sleigh Ride/Santa Claus' Party (Medley)
Bing Crosby – White Christmas
Wayne Newton – Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

Don't forget who xmas is REALLY all about -- the immortal Jeezuz H Christ!! He's going to come again, they tell me.
To this end, i would suggest throwing on that cool CD by British '60s R&Beat evangelists the Pilgrims.
I'm surprised and disappointed the Royal Guardsmen never did a "Snoopy Bows Before the Awesome Power of Christ" 45.

I had to listen to some old Dean Martin crooning recently -- I was putting it on my father-in-law's iPod. It struck me that Elvis Presley was, vocally, an absolute carbon copy of the guy.

Not quite Serge Gainsbourg, but I just happened to be spinning some 45s
& played Noel 70 by the Poppys, a french band, not too bad.

'I Want A Rockin' Christmas' by Ol' 55.
This was a retro-'50s Aussie band in the '70s, but I kinda dig this song.

Thanks Laurent and y'all little jolly elves.
Though I have to say, I like traditional crap. I like the concept of traditions.
Hahaha! That South Bay Surfers were pure beer-keg bliss.
