That's been a fav of mine since I saw it on Bing's TV special as well. (What ever happened to the good ol' Christmas special? Does anyone ever do them anymore?) Other favs are just about anything from Vince Guaraldi's <i>A Charlie Brown Christmas</i>. Can't decorate the Christmas tree with out it playing in the background. I'm a sucker for Bing; his <i>White Christmas</i> album has some great ones on it (<i>Jingle Bells</i> and <i>Santa Claus is Comin' to Town</i> (both with the Andrews Sisters) and <i>I'll Be Home for Christmas</i>.) Guess I'm a sucker for traditional stuff. I’m with you on Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy. That’s been a fav of mine since I saw it on Bing’s TV special as well.

Actually, just about anything on his "When My Heart Finds Christmas" album works for me, except "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers." And I've heard Mel Torme do a pretty serviceable job on "The Christmas Song." Then again, he wrote it.
