Best Christmas Songs

Frequent readers of Dogs and Jeans will know that this is THE site for opinion on Christmas music. This year, something unusual occurred: a new Christmas song was released that didn't suck!

Every November, several artists release a CD of Christmas music, rehashing the same old "classics", either trying to "out Bing" Bing, or worse, jazz up "Winter Wonderland" and make it their own. It's enough to make you want to puncture your ear drum with a turkey baster.

Inevitably, one or two singers may even be so bold as to write a new Christmas song and foist it on the unsuspecting ears of the public. Thankfully, by next Christmas most will have faded away and left us with Elvis and Johnny Mathis, as Jesus had intended.

However, this year Toad The Wet Sprocket has given us an unexpected gift: "It Doesn't Feel Like Christmas". This would be a great song all on it's own, regardless of the Christmas reference. If I could embed it here so you all could here it, I would, but the Dogs & Jeans technical staff is a particularly dull bunch intellectually, so you are all going to have to visit Toad's web site and download it for free.

Unfortunately, the release of "It Doesn't Feel Like Christmas" doesn't quite make up of the re-release of this musical travesty.
