Thanks for your post, some good music for me to explore.  

...and for breakfast on the Eggs Benedict,  Happy Hollandaise. 

Been listening to the heavy metal/metal/hair metal/rock & roll CHRISTMAS music for years now.
it’s great, there is one death metal style, which most in here won’t like. 

  The regular ones are great, the Rob Halford CHRISTMAS is great.    The twisted Christmas by twisted sister is also amazing!

 Still love the old classics, there’s something about Dio, Lemmy, D’Anno, Tate, lynch, Iommi, 

many of them available with many different musicians.
 I love these, no, their not just,parodies, they are all well played/and the singing is also good.

my stereo is turned on Dec 23rd, and warmed up for Christmas morning, 
i love these rock and metal CHRISTMAS CDs.

the Christmas music is not butchered at all!

    Heck, I’m going to grab them early and play this week.

Merry CHRISTMAS everyone.
Happy Hanukkah as well!
