Right? I only saw it in Sunday's Best Buy ad, but it looks like on the cover he's wearing a suit and sitting in front of a burning fireplace! He almost looks wholesome except you can still see the slightest hint of that sneer...

Believe it or not, the only actual Christmas album I own is Celine Dion's These Are the Special Times. I have a collection of mixed Christmas albums and a lot of songs on my computer though.

that's exactly what you saw, a sneering suit wearing Billy Idol on the cover.

Only Xmas album I have is the one by Ella Fitzgerald. I don't like the religious songs, and hers is all-secular (Jingle Bells, Sleigh Ride, etc). I was amused that Bette Midler has a Xmas album. Isn't she Jewish? Although, I guess it's not as weird as Tina Turner doing one would be.

I saw a Christmas album today by "2 Live Jews" called "Christmas Jews", so anything is possible.

Funny, another release by "2 Live Jews" is entitled "As Kosher as They Wanna Be"

I was just thinking that! You know, I didn't think you could get a more depressing version of "Christmas Time is Here" than the one from A Charlie Brown Christmas, but she proved me wrong. I do like the song "River" but I don't think of it as a Christmas song at all.

A favorite of mine since I was little has been "The Ventures Christmas Album".
I don't really enjoy a complete Christmas record from anyone, so I usually make a new compiliation every year.

I agree these are great album's for the season!!!

Does anyone know why Neil Diamond (Jewish) put out a Christmas album a few years back? I always thought that was quite hilarious. Has Babs done something like that?

Edit: ^^^^ I guess she has.
