Laurence Housman's "Cloak of Friendship" is my one true Christmas story. If interested, you can find it here: [link]
There was a very good reason why I didn't see it when it came out, and now I'm realizing that it's good I haven't bothered to correct that.
I, too, have never seen it. Don't have an urge to, either.
I've always loved the David Bowie-Bing Crosby version of Little Drummer Boy. And there is an Emerson Lake and Palmer Xmas song, I think it's called Father Christmas but I'm not sure. Anyway, very powerful pull for me, that song.

"I Believe in Father Christmas." It one of my favorites.
I love the book
A Christmas Carol,
but I don't really have a one true movie or staged version. Great Christmas stories include the beginning of
Little Women
and when Mr. Edwards meets Santa Claus in
A Little House on the Prairie.
"Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" is the one that always gets me. I adore The Pretenders' take on it, but Judy Garland's version in "Meet Me In St. Louis" is the one that kills it for me.

I love the Dandy Warhols version they used in
Veronica Mars.
Another one that gets me is "I'll Be Home for Christmas."
Dandy Warhols and Dresden Dolls, eh? Are you
sure
you're not a hipster?
I also like Sufjan Stevens. SHIT.
Do you enjoy them in a detached ironic way, or do you go a little nuts at their shows?
I have not seen any of them, but if I did, it would be the latter.
