I’ve been checking my list and checking it twice, but after listening to the latest laser-guided holiday claptrap, it seems that the majority of these greedy Grinches have been more naughty than nice. Heading up the naughty list is none other than that pipe-smokin’ child abuser Bing Crosby. So if you haven’t been a bad little boy or girl, pick up his collection of 16 yuletide chestnuts, Christmas Classics, or Crosby’s ghost of Christmas past promises to return to give your rump a sound rum-a-pum-pumming. Speaking of criminals, why not have yourself a merry little Christmas with the sweet falsetto vocals of Aaron Neville and his record, Christmas Prayer. His version of “Joy to the World,” complete with amazing backing from the Blind Boys of Alabama, is so sweet you almost forget you are listening to a man who spent years fighting off men in prison showers, and has a dagger/amoeba tattooed on his cheek.
