So, I work at a place with roughly 400 people. We're having a big 2 hour Christmas party next month, I've been put in charge of the music, and was told to mix it up a bit. Approx. 60% of the people are Spanish speaking, and I have a friend gathering up some Spanish Christmas songs.
I've gathered up a few from my personal collection of quirky Christmas songs, (See Below) can you help and recommend me some other cool ones??
Ray Stevens - Redneck Christmas!!
Captain Dan & The Scurvy Crew - A Pirate Christmas
Christmas Sucks (Tom Waits and Peter Murphy)
Johnny Cash - The Little Drummer Boy
Frank Sinatra-Silver bells - Christmas - Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby
RUN DMC-Christmas In Hollis
Country Mike - Country Christmas
Weezer - Christmas Song
The Kinks - Father Christmas
Weird Al Yankovic - Christmas At Ground Zero
Johnny Cash - White Christmas
David Bowie and Bing Crosby - Little Drummer Boy

The traditional Christmas music that is pumped throughout the planet earth for 45 days straight every year turned me into a chronic alcoholic with suicidal tendencies. Fortunately I reached out and found help in the form of multiple music blogs, I am now so grateful and happy to report I have the largest collection of obscure Christmas music known in the solar system.
Here are some excellent blogs, each with down loadable linkage and links to more xmas absurdity (save link as) for your perusal. Eventually you'll hit some Spanish stuff.

I am a HUGE christmas music fan, but personally I wouldn't go too hard-core on the "quirky" songs, because some of them are just ridiculously annoying to the majority of the public.
Exception:

"Santa Nicola" by Lou Monte is also amazing but I couldnt find a hit for it on youtube...

I see a very bootie christmas (http://www.bootiemashup.com/xmas/)links are still live. another great source which also happens to be one of my all time favorite music blogs is big rock candy mountain (http://therealbigrockcandymountain.blogspot.com/), the links are dead from last december but he usually cranks out nothing but the finest which starts immediately after thanksgiving. (as you can see from 2009 (http://therealbigrockcandymountain.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2009-12-16T08%3A30%3A00-06%3A00&max-results=10&reverse-paginate=true)).
I love truck driving, hobo and hard drinking christmas music.

Let the Insanity begin, the Big Rock Candy Mountain has begun it's Christmas Music extravaganza.
Pop open a picture can of beer and let the 23 songs of Tinsel Tickler (http://therealbigrockcandymountain.blogspot.com/) motivate you to kick some ass.

For best results play when your holiday party guests are 12 cups of eggnog in and you're 12 days of Christmas too pissed to care if they stay any longer
