This time of year, the Christmas music starts invading my head. And I get to thinking about it. I'm not the only one.
Last year, I learned of a wonderful set of essays by Tris McCall, a New Jersey rock critic, reviewing fifty holiday songs.

McCall's critiques of "Let it Snow" and "Linus and Lucy" are also good examples; if you like these, you'll probably enjoy reading the whole thing.

McCall's page has moved, but in 2010 I've updated the links.
