There's nothin' like a little holiday tunage to get you in the mood for the big day. The day when the fat bearded man jumps down your chimney, raids your fridge, scares your pets and hopefully leaves you a big stash.

Some of our picks may drive your 'rents crazy (payback time for all the years you had to listen to Burl Ives - that guy who looks like a garden gnome) but some of them might be good enough to convince your dad to dance with your smelly Aunt Edna.
