A bit early getting into the Christmas spirit, I know. While I don't want to be the bloggers version of those shops that insist on playing holiday songs weeks before Christmas, I feel that 'Arthur McBride' by Paul Brady is worth the risk.
This is the one song that my family plays every Christmas morning, without fail. A traditional Irish anti-recruitment folk song, the content is perhaps a little more gory than most Christmas tunes.

Bob Dylan has 'Christmas in the Heart'
About a month ago, I saw news popping up on certain music sites and blogs suggesting that Dylan was to release a Christmas album. I laughed at the very idea and put it to the back of my mind. He's Jewish for God's sake.
It seems I was wrong to laugh. Dylan's official website has confirmed that he is releasing a Christmas album. This worries me. I am concerned that the poor man may have lost it. Advertising cars, lingerie and releasing an album through a coffee store were all bad moves as far as I am concerned. But a Christmas album? This must put a considerable dent in his credibility. However, it is for charity. And man does he look and sound like he's having fun in this video.
Only Dylan could pull this off so well.
