I hope he won't forget to clack his castinet,
And to his reindeer, say,
"Oh Pancho, Oh! Vixen, Oh! Pedro, Oh! Blitzen,"
Ole! Ole! Ole! cha cha cha.

My personal favorite is Christmas Eve Sarajevo by the heavy metal band Savatage...um...I mean Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

But theres that nostalgic love for a lot of the classics as well.
