Welcome to SPOCKY CHRISTMAS 2025!

As with every other year, we'll have some fine Christmas music, a few stinkers, and a lot of mediocrity.  Every selection might not be YOUR cup o' cheer, but people are different ... someone else might be charmed.

This 2002 release is interesting because the track listing on the CD rear is wrong.  “God Rest Ye” does not appear at all.

The track listing on the disc itself is wrong too.  Track 4 does not contain “God Rest Ye,” either.


CORRECT TRACK LISTING:
MTL - Christmas Classics (27:43)

01. Jingle Bells (2:40)  – Perfectly cheesy Muzaklike, upbeat arrangement
02. Good King Wenceslas (2:19) – Churchlike choir and soloists with organ and orchestral background
03. I'll Be Home for Christmas (2:10)  – Earnest ensemble vocals with swaying background
04. We Wish You a Merry Christmas (1:54) – Instrumental that sounds like the Tijuana Brass 
05. The Twelve Days of Christmas (3:46)  – Hep women-vs-men arrangement
06. Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow (2:05)  – Hep vocal arrangement
07. Winter Wonderland (2:36)
08. White Christmas (2:12)
09. Silver Bells (2:07)
10. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (2:46)
11. Tavern in the Town / For He's a Jolly Good Fellow / Auld Lang Syne (2:16) –  strung together - vocals
12. For He's a Jolly Good Fellow (0:51) – sounds like a circus organ but played by orchestra


You don't have to let this commercial dog spoil your Christmas.  You can be one of those youngsters who takes everything ironically.

Come back Thursday for something sardonic!  See you then.
