The
1977
Christmas album doesn't exist, and is very likely a myth: given the last session for a seasonal track was November 23rd, 1977, hard to see them getting a Christmas album released that year.

Um... nope - the
Ultimate Christmas
CD (which was released in 1998, btw) doesn't include "Michael Row The Boat Ashore", "Seasons In The Sun" or "Go And Get That Girl".

Hey Little Tomboy is creepy. Banging women by the pool is fun and conjures up warm summer thoughts a Beach Boys song should.

I like Christmas albums by singers from the 1950's and 1960's including:
- Perry Como
- Andy Williams
- Tony Bennett
- Johnny Mathis
- Frank Sinatra
- Mario Lanza
- Jack Jones
- Nat King Cole
I also like some instrumental Christmas albums from the same time period including:
- Percy Faith
- David Rose
- Bert Kaempfert
- Mantovani
- The Boston Pops
Some miscellaneous ones include:
- The Moody Blues "December"
- A Charlie Brown Christmas Soundtrack
- Roger Whittaker
- Don Janse & His Children Choir
I enjoy the Beach Boys' Christmas music but it is pretty uneven. So, I made a special compilation titled "A Wilson Family Christmas" which includes "the best of" the 1964 Beach Boys Christmas album, "Child Of Winter", the 1977 M.I.U. Christmas sessions, Carnie & Wendy Wilson's Hey Santa album, Carnie Wilson's Christmas album, and Brian's What I Really Want For Christmas album.

My all-time favorite Christmas LP would be I WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS by Bing Crosby (1962), now marketed as BING CROSBY'S CHRISTMAS CLASSICS with the addition of "The Little Drummer Boy/Peace On Earth", the epochal Crosby-Bowie duet from 1977. Also digging the Robert Shaw Orchestra & Chorale, Elvis Presley (the 1971 LP) and Coltrane's "My Favorite Things".
The Beach Boys' 1964 Christmas Album is a classic. "Little Saint NicK' will be a Yuletide perennial long after we all leave the planet. "The Man With All the Toys", the lesser known eccentric second single, is an inventive tune. "Christmas Day", Al's first recorded lead vocal, is a gem. The traditional fare on side 2 is very fine seasonal fare, with Brian in great voice. Was 1964 his peak as a studio singer or what?
The proposed seventies Christmas album would have included some fine tracks in "Child of Winter", "Winter Symphony" and "Morning Christmas." I heard Al's "Christmastime Is Here Again" at the mall a few years back-it sounded cool.
The eternal question: which came first, MIU or the rejected '77 Xmas set?

What
This/your thread is perfectly fine. At this time each year we usually have a Christmas song/album thread. There is one going now about more obscure Christmas songs, but this thread is certainly appropriate.
I have to quickly dig out some Christmas classics including:
Slade - "Merry Xmas Everybody"
Joni Mitchell - "River"
The Band - "Christmas Must Be Tonight"
Bob Dylan - "Must Be Santa"
Greg Lake - "I Believe In Father Christmas"
Joy Williams - "Here With Us"
Heart - "Here Is Christmas"
The Royal Guardsmen - "Snoopy & The Red Baron's Christmas"
Blondie - "We Three Kings"
The Ventures - "Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer"

Christmas Portrait- Carpenters
Spector's fine album
The Peanuts Christmas soundtrack (saw the last two on vinyl recently, really wanted to pick it up!)
Christmas time is here again- Beatles (a fun singalong)
Ding Dong, Ding Dong- George H
Hey Santa- carnie/Wendy album
Wonderful Christmas Time- Macca
A Very She and Him Christmas (love her vocals on Al's Christmas Day)
Jeff Foskett- Christmas at the Beach
Endless Christmas- fun mix of beach boys/related Christmas items (from Mike and Dean's stuff to the Jingle Bella outtake of the 1964 album to MIU Christmas outtakes to Carnie/Wendy's alternative or radio single version of Hey Santa, etc)
Brian's renditions of White Christmas and Have Yourself a merry little Christmas (only downloaded off his site)
Of course Brian's Christmas album is great, love his original tunes and love On Christmas Day!
Love Ultimate Christmas and everything about it. Child Of Winter needed to be re-released with Winter Symphony on the b-side!
Oh! And they finally released the soundtrack to a Christmas Story! Love it! Great score and very christmasey

Hey SJS, that would be a good thread but tbf that's not what he asked. He asked to rate Beach Boys Christmas albums which AGD pointed out the flaws with as a question. I thought it was just bad English at first but honestly think its a troll account now.

I wasn't SURE myself what Surfer was asking either. But, I concluded - rightly or wrongly - that he wanted feedback on Beach Boys' Christmas albums AND other Christmas CD's. Maybe that's what I wanted it be so I could discuss Christmas music!
But, so what. If you don't like the topic, or the way it was worded, or even Surfer as a poster on this board, just ignore it/him and the thread will die. If he's a troll I trust the moderators will deal with him. How are we doing with that Ignore Button...

How has no-one mentioned Springsteen's live version of 'Santa Claus Is Coming To Town'? That, along with Christmas Time (Don't Let the Bells End) by the Darkness are my two favourite Christmas tunes!

personally, I like Bruce Springsteen but I hate his version of "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" except for the intro when he's talking
my personal favorite of that song is the Jackson 5's version (my first boy band crush
)

Springsteen's version of "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" should be exiled to the South Pole.
