Barenaked for the Holidays (Barenaked Ladies)

From the band for which you can't do an Internet search from work, the Barenaked Ladies, comes Barenaked for the Holidays -- a holiday treat with mainly Christmas tunes, but also including the three Hanukkah songs from their Barenaked for Hanukka EP, and "Auld Lang Syne".

I like gifts that show the giver knows me, and this was one of those gifts. I'm a big BnL fan, and these guys do a great, fun, and (surprisingly) respectful turn of holiday classics and new additions. There's even a "Happy Birthday, Jesus" tune for which (I'm ashamed to admit) I kept waiting for some sarcastic turn. It never came. Which is probably OK.

Overall, a great album I'll be listening to well into the new year.
