Laurie, I just discovered The Frightened Rabbit's Christmas song. It comes as an alternate version with a choir, which I tried to download but it said it was sold out. How does a download become sold out? I'll keep checking because I collect cool Christmas songs. Sure you know about it.
Because of you I downloaded the Attic Lights Christmas song. Actually have yet to receive the download, but I did the transaction on New Years Eve. Listened to the other songs on their Myspace and they were nice.
Loved reading your list. It was worth the effort.

 Gene[ who still needs to do his list].

> 5. Attic Lights-Friday Night Lights
> I have had a couple tracks from blogs and the one on emusic for a
