Ever since Savatage Trans-Siberian Orchestra made a career of rock Christmas music, there are lots of copy cats.

Hence new groups like Northern Light Orchestra and to some extent Van Helsing's Curse for Halloween.

I love the Ventures' Christmas Album. It's so surfy and upbeat. :)

The lesson here is that if your vocals sound as if they've been double-tracked and then mixed out-of-phase, you may be using too much reverb. :-)

Ah, I remember the days when the World Wide Web was actually world wide... which probably puts me right up there among the people complaining about these newfangled horseless carriages.

There's a couple dozen homemade fan videos for this song -- I like this one:

ahaha, I own that album. Good stuff if you like a non-traditional sound for your holidays. Granted, some songs suck horribly, but also some are surprisingly good. My favorites are this one by Dokken, "Happy Christmas (War Is Over) by Winger, "Naughty Naughty Christmas" by Danger Danger, "Blue Christmas" by Cinderella, and "Christmas Love" by Billy Idol.
