some other ones i play that i don't think have been mentioned:
staple singers - who took the merry out of christmas
william bell - everyday will be like a holiday
stridells - i remember christmas
betty lloyd - snowflakes
sweet tee - let the jingle bells rock
Here is a fantastic one I learned about this year. Just picked up a copy....well its promised to me, I pick it up this weekend.
Figured you would have this. I would probably spin it this season if absolutely necessary (bah humbug)
Seems like a novelty/alternate issue of Funky Funk that is actually better?

Another along that same line
These two always make me very happy:
James Brown: "Let's Unite the World at Christmas"
Sun Ra: "It's Christmas Time"
Nice one! Copped this album last year on promo double vinyl (one green, one red wax).
Great xmas jazz. I've got 320s of the entire album for download here.
a holiday fave!
this one is on the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Special so it automatically is a holiday tune for me.
Soul Saints Orch - Santas Got A Bag Of Soul
Binky Griptite - Stone Soul XMas
Sharon Jones - No Chimnies In The Ghetto
Raindeer Runners - Pull My Sled
Those are pretty easy though....maybe it just seems that way to me, cause I play them every year.

Damn, this just went for $610 on eBay.
