If you are looking for something a bit non-traditional for Christmas, I recommend You Sleigh Me: Alternative Christmas Hits. It's not a great album, but there are some really nice songs. I really like Tori Amos's version of Little Drummer Boy. I can do without anything by Donna Lewis (ew!). There's a song that Juliana Hatfield wrote for the TV show, My So-Called Life. Dillon Fence's (who the hell is he?) song sounds like mopey 80's music, but it has a certain charm.I bought this album for one reason, Jill Sobule singing Merry Christmas From The Family. It's funny as hell. Here's a sample:

"Brother Ken brought his kids with him
The three from his first wife Lynn
And the two identical twins
from his second wife, Mary Nell
Of course he brought his new wife Kay
Who talks all about AA
Chain smoking while the stereo plays
Noel, Noel, the first Noel."

Ah. Reminds me of my childhood.
