Good list, Chris. “Father Christmas” is my absolute favorite. And the whole Bing Crosby “White Christmas” album (from which came “Mele Kalikimaka”) is very nostalgic for me.
A couple more for me:
The Waitresses “Christmas Wrapping”
No Doubt “Oi To The World”
Wham “Last Christmas”
Enjoy your holidays!
