As somebody who owns over 300 Christmas vinyl Christmas LPs, I will state that the coolest Christmas LP ever is....

The Three Suns: A Ding Dong Dandy Christmas.
I've heard one person describe this LP by saying "If Dr. Seuss had an ice skating rink with a jukebox, every selection would be from this album.

Other two really good ones are:
Ferrante and Teicher: Adventures in Carols
This is from the duos early experiemental period in the late 50's, when they plucked, strummed, and used avant-garde methods to create some real cool winter tunes.

Lenny Dee: Happy Holi-Dee
from the guy with the carzy organ stylings

All three of the above LPs are from the late 50's - right about the time that Martin Denny was recording 'Quiet Village' All of them would definitely qualify as being Devo-esque.
