My favorite x-mas song is The Birthday Party's Dead Joe...which could certainly be bluesed up, if someone wanted to, and Gun Club's Sex Beat, which is bluesy enough, but not radio friendly

I guess Brenda Lee's Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree is a hit again...Rachel Sweet (a similarly young, redheaded and short singer at the time) did a good version too, though I don't know if it's on any record (there's a you tube of a television show...) www.msn.com...
