apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Everybody's Waiting For the Man With The Bag - Kay Starr

White please!

Oh wow.. I dont even know what to say.

ID LOVE This in Black. What a great christmas it would be if we won this!

We would play anything by frank sinatra.. I dont have a favorite.

I blogged ya : (though maybe I should have kept this one a secret! LOL j/k)
http://contestaddict.blogspot.com

Black would compliment my decor nicely.

I'll be playing the homemade CD copy of the Big N Christmas Album. Favorite Track: Morris the Moose. (He's sad because Santa won't let him pull the sleigh.)

i'd go traditional and deep felt with mahalia jackson...

and i'd love it in white :)

The little drummer boy, one of my old bands and I recorded a version of this song back in the 1990's. When the tape stopped the time counter read 2:525.

Red please...ho, ho, ho

Without a doubt it would be "Christmas Wrapping" by the Waitresses. I'm wishing for Red (is that true Holiday spirit or what?).

i can definitely hear some Santa Claus is Coming to Town by Bruce Springsteen coming out of there, in rock-and-roll red of course.

This would look sharp in our apartment in the black color styling.

We'll be playing the the fabulous David Bowie & Bing Crosby duet of Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth. A fantastic combo!

I gotta go with a diva... Mariah Carey - All I want for Christmas [Is You?]

And the system in RED is so hot!

While I would love to stay classic, I don't see how I couldn't play "Ludacrismas" on this great item to really get the Christmas party bumpin. I'd like to rock the red in honor of Luda and the Hotlanta Hawks.

Cool, ethereal white for me. To go with Anonymous 4's album of medieval Christmas music. *shiver*

Oh... the white and black are nice... but the red is irresistible.

I will be playing Possessed by the Klezmatics.

Vince Guaraldi's "The Christmas Song" day and night!

I think white is pretty cool.

I'd play Eartha Kitt's Santa Baby on the new system. A unit in black would work best in our abode.

i shall be listening to some.....

santa claus is coming to town

RED ....puh-lease....=)

"That's What I Want for Christmas" by Nancy Wilson, the most beautiful Christmas love song ever. Definitely in the red!

The Nutcracker Suite!

Red please. Thank you!

'Baby, It's Cold Outside' by Frank Loesser.

I would prefer the red one but it's a difficult choice.

Red for me and the song would have to be Alvin & the Chipmunks -- All I Want for Christmas (Is My Two Front Teeth). I'm spending lots of time at the dentist repairing teeth hurt in a fall. Alvin and his pals would bring me lots of cheer.

Aimee Mann's version of "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" would be perfect on the white one.

Beach Boys: The Man With All the Toys


Oh I would die.........Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Red is beautiful!!!

My wife and I are expecting our first child right around Christmas, so my entire family is coming to us for the holidays. A nice, white Geneva Sound System would be perfect for playing Dean Martin's "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow" as we open gifts for Baby's First Christmas.

ohmygosh, this makes me feel like an old person, but i just love 'silver bells' by bing crosby. there is just something so sweet about that song that puts me in a good mood, especially during those stressful holiday moments.

white, like a snowy field, please.

I can already hear Stevie Wonder singing The Little Drummer Boy on my new white Geneva sound system. Our newborn (our first) cooing while my wife and I enjoy a glass of egg nog 'round the tree, appreciating the blessings of another wonderful year...

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope to live out the above dream sans the awesome sound system, if need be!

Hopefully I will be playing "Santa Claus Got Stuck In My Chimney" by Ella Fitzgerald on the red one.

We'd be listening to White Christmas by Bing Crosby on a white one while it gently snows outside! How romantic...

Candy apple red for the kitchen... delicious.

'Fairytale of New York" by The Pogues... nothing like the back end of a party standing in the kitchen with some irish whiskey and the Shane MacGowan perma-slur...

passionate red, my friends.

happy holidays.

Oh, gorgeous! I love the red! Baby, It's Cold Outside. Johnny Mercer and Margaret Whiting. :)

Red! Yes!

The sweetly cynical sounds of Pearl Bailey singing "Five Pound Box of Money" would be wafting through the air...

The red would be perfect with my empire red Kitchenaid Mixer and my red Ultra Bellini chairs.... please please please. And I would play The Christmas Song-- that is the "chestnuts roasting over an open fire"... right? While I was actually roasting the chestnuts-- but probably in my oven and not over an open fire-- heh.

I'd take red.

"Baby It's Cold Outside" is the best winter cocktail song. I wish I could find a recorded version of Zoe Deschanel vamping that one up, which was the fine moment in "Elf."

Christmas In Hollis by Run D.M.C.

"My name's D.M.C. with the mic in my hand
And I'm chilling and coolin just like a snowman
So open your eyes, lend us an ear
We want to say
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!"

...and since it's the Holidays, definitely in white.

I'd love white, and I'd crank up James Brown's Christmas tunes!

On my pretty red Geneva Sound System, I'd blast "Baby, It's Cold Outside" by Leon Redbone & Zooey Deschanel (yes, the one from Elf) -- it's such a great song, and Zooey is one of those few singing celebs with actual talent.

It's kinda lesser-known, but I love "Happy Holiday" by Lena Horne. When I play it, I imagine throwing swanky holiday parties looking like something out of a Shag painting!

...and a white Geneva sure would swankify my holiday shindigs!

Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite. White would look great in my kitchen.

I like Charlie Browns Xmas and Rock Around the Christmas Tree!! Black for me please :)

The Philadelphia Orchestra with Eugene Ormandy did an arrangement of God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen that is a great, brassy, pulsating take on an old chestnut. It's been a favorite of mine since childhood and the best way to listen to it is with the volume (way) up.

White would be wonderful, thanks!

It is a toss-up between:

Mariah Carey's - All I want for Christmas
and Ron Sexmith's - Maybe this Christmas.

Any of the colors would make this gal very happy :)

O Come All Ye Faithful- oh my neighbors would love me

Red por favor!

Ooh, this is a tough one, but I have to go with The Temptations' "Silent Night." It's a holiday classic dressed up in warm soul.

And the glossy white is my pick.

I really hope you all have listened to the Sufjan Stevens "Songs for Christmas" set. It's more than slightly amazing. That Was The Worst Christmas Ever is sort of achey and melancholy but really, really beautiful. No favorites though, the whole thing is pretty damn impressive.

Tis the season for all things White methinks.

Christmas in Killarney by the Irish Rovers. (With lots of Nat King Cole in rotation.) Red would be awesome.

I have to go with a favorite of mine, "The Italian Christmas Donkey"

Hee haw hee haw!

I love the red!

It's a sad fact that I don't own a single holiday song, in any format. Just this week, however, my 4 year old has started demanding xmas songs every night at bedtime, so I've had to dredge them up from the dark recesses of my childhood brain, rusty, off key, and with incomplete lyrics. I really need to buy some xmas tunes and I appreciate all the suggestions here - Bruce and Eartha now on my list. My son, of course, is most interested in "Rudolph." My own childhood favorite, which I'll probably have to inflict on him: "A Christmas Together, with John Denver and the Muppets." Oh yeah.

Definitely white, shiny timeless white, to match my other white accents (which mostly don't exist yet, but we're getting there), brighten up my dark-ish living room, and offset my darker wood furniture.

Did I mention that I currently don't have a stereo of any kind, and I've been playing cd's on my crappy tv/dvd player? I'm just sayin'...

I'd love it in Black, sleek. I'd play David Bowie's version of the Little Drummer Boy! I love that song.

I would have to play Barenaked Ladies version of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen or my brother's version of the Little Drummer Boy.

White please, to match my iPod.

what a perfect holiday gift for grown-ups with a modern sensibilty! love it!!!!!!!

i'd like to listen to "have yourself a merry little christmas" covered by the pretenders.

I'd be playing Elvis' "I'll have a Bluuuuuueeee Christmas, without youuuuu" (it's a family classic), and I'd love it in white!

White would be wonderful!
And i would definitely be playing "Blue Christmas" by the King himself, Elvis Presley.

hmm, i'd be playing my favorite homemade christmas cd. it's got a lot of these songs on it (by random artists), but it also has "river" by joni mitchell. it's a sad one, but it's a christmas song to me!

white or red, white or red...hmm...i'm gonna go with white :)

PSYCHO JINGLE FUNK - Rithma
Off the OM Records "hOMe for the holidays" cd

Red please!

Nothing but Wham! "Last Christmas." In white, please.

Would love this in black and will be playing the beautiful, instrumental "Asleep the Snow Came Flying" from the album "A Winter's Solstice IV". For a lyric song I have to pick "Christmas Time is Here", the version sung by Diana Krall. Both songs remind me of my amazing Dad.

I'll be playing A Charlie Brown Christmas, for sure. And I'd love to have the red version sitting under my sad, little, needle-shedding tree. (see below)

<<<-

The red is lovely! The kids and dogs love to dance to Harry Connick Jr's x-mas album!

Deck The Halls would be the song and Red would be the color.

My name is Jolly, so it would be very fitting, it being the "Season to be Me" and all.

This is Hot and would be a nice addition to any kitchen. My decor is minimalist green with a dash of red. That said, I would play "Santa Baby" by Ertha Kitt while baking gingerbread cookies and drinking a hot mint mocha.

I would play Santa Baby, by Eartha Kitt, on my white Geneva Sound System.

oops! I would also pick the Hot Red version.

Let me tell you - do I wish I could enter this!!

Sarah McLachlan's River, from Wintersong. And then it would be something loud and pop-y, to really put it to good use.

I'd love white with Santa Baby playing

The Pretenders "2000 Miles".

Snow white please.

It's beginning to look like white, radio and christmas! happy holidays.

I'll be sipping cocoa and listening to A Charlie Brown Christmas if I won this in black.

I would play "I'll be home for Christmas" (the original Bing Crosby version) because we just moved 12 hours (14 if driving with the baby) away from my family and friends and we won't be able to drive down to Missouri if the snow is as bad as predicted. We always sit around the record player in my Grandma's family room and listen to great classics like that. It would be great to carry on an updated version of the tradition with our son (especially since it's his first Christmas).

I would definitely pick the red because everything seems merrier coming out of such a nice color (and oh so appropriate for the season!)

Pharoah Sanders and Leon Thomas, Prince of Peace

Color? Black is beautiful!

Its been a tradition since I was younger to decorate the tree while dancing around to christmas carols. One of my favorites was always "Need a little Christmas Now" by Johnny Mathis. White would be fabulous! :)

the classics seem to dance out of clean & simple modern design so well....it'd be Tchaikovsky's Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy from the Nutcracker Suite...and for that the ballet shoe white would be oh so sweet.

I'd play Christmas Song (Christmas Don't Be Late) by Alvin & the Chipmunks on my shiny white sound system.

("I still want a huuula hoooop!!!")

We've just moved into a house in which the previous tenants felt it was a good idea to spray paint the cabinets with tremclad. So, a lovely new black sound system would spruce up the kitchen quite a bit (with two babies under two and at the tail end of a massive international move we don't have the money, time or energy to fix the cabinets at the moment). And, the song would have to be "Fairytale of New York" by the Pogues - still the best Holiday song in my opinion.

I always do my holiday baking to both my own holiday mix (The Pixies' Holiday Song, Wham's Last Christmas, that Feliz Navidad song) and to woxy.com's holiday mix. I'd like to listen to it on a black one, por favor!!! :D

Errr... did the Ramones do any xmas songs?

I admit I have a weakness for the old standards. Probably Silver Bells or It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas, or something along those lines.

Thanx!

Tony Bennett would be crooning My Favorite Things on my Red Geneva. :)

Over the Rhine's "Snowed in with You" on a black system would help my Florida kitchen feel a little more Christmassy!

Cheers!!

Red, in a heartbeat. Let's see...how about "Do They Know It's Christmas?"

I would be listening to "Winter Wonderland" sung by the Cocteau Twins on my white sound system.

A Charlie Brown Christmas, definitely. The white one would be nice! :)

The Hannukah Song by Adam Sandler! The one with The Dreidels. On that beautiful red Geneva.

"Winter Wonderland" - Harry Connick, Jr. version!
RED!!! :)

on my brand spanking new sparkling red geneva sound system, i'd play the happy holiday howlers yipping out jingle bells, the lucky 13th song on their 2005 album 'a dog's christmas - holiday songs with dog bark sounds'

Nothing brings holiday cheer like "Feliz Navidad" by Jose Feliciano.
My Geneva Sound System in RED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will be belting "Last Christmas"- by George Michael.... hopefully the sound system can drown me out.

Oh... and red... for the holidays!

Bing Crosby- I'll Be Home for Christmas.

And in honor of the season, how about red?

I don't know if there are any other Jews out there obsessed with "Good King Wenceslas" but I sure am.

Loretta Lynn: "Happy Birthday," because it mentions Christmas AND New Year's and is a bit more unexpected than "Jingle Bells." And I would love red, to remind me always of the AT holiday contest. (And to jumpstart a new color scheme based on this Snow & Graham pattern!)

"Have a Funky Funky Christmas" by NKOTB

The red one is fab!!!

I'd drink some spiced hot chocolate and listen to Freedy Johnston's version of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas". I'd love it best in white.

I love "Wonderful Christmastime" by Paul McCartney, but A Charlie Brown Christmas is so perfect for unwinding in the kitchen... I'd love listening to it on my new RED speakers!

Any choral CD with Paul Hillier conducting! Angelic music for a relaxing holiday! I would like the candy-colored red one, please.

definitely red. and definitely The Waitresses' "Christmas Wrapping"

Baby It's Cold Outside sung by Dean Martin. I'd love it in black please.

Definitely The Pogues' "Fairytale of New York" . It would be playing at my raucous holiday drinks party on a white Geneva.

I would listen to all of my favorite novelty christmas songs, like "Grab your Balls like Micheal Jackson" on my new red speakers.

Dipset Christmas by the Harlem Diplomats

Red (!)

Black, please, and i'll play "Merry Christmas From the Family" by Robert Earl Keen

Carve the Turkey
Turn the ball game on
Mix margaritas when the eggnog's gone
Send somebody to the Quickpak Store
We need some ice and an extension chord
A can of bean dip and some Diet Rites
A box of tampons, Marlboro Lights
Haleluja everybody say Cheese
Merry Christmas from the family

What's laquer (and Christmas for that matter) if it isn't RED?? I'll bust out my hairbrush mic for "Last Christmas" by the one and only Wham!

I like the red, but I should probably get the black to match both my iPod and, unfortunately, my mood today. :( Hopefully, tomorrow will be better.

Anyway, the first seasonal song is easy -- Sarah Silverman's "Give The Jew Girl Toys." Great tune.

For me, it'd have to be a nostalgia party, playing Erlend Oye's cover of "Last Christmas," a sad one, but it brings back happy memories of my German 7th grade students learning all the words. Give me that song and a glass of gluehwein (spiced hot wine, yum!) and I'll be in the Christmas spirit.

It also reminds me of the friend who introduced me to the song, in Switzerland no less, and the very white Christmas we had that year. White please!

Greensleeves. Coltrane 4. Red. Yes.

Song: Tori Amos's Yes Anastasia

'Yes Anastasia' is one of Amos' more instrumental songs that I know by heart. This will be good because I'll most likely be working these holidays and need something won't distract.

Color: Red

I like the red version best out of the red/white/black version. If there were an orange or a moss green version I'd be all over those colors.

I'll have to go with Ella Fitzgerald's "Ella Wishes You a Swinging Christmas." It's all good, but I have a soft spot for 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.'

The red one would be a fantastic addition to my kitchen. Fingers crossed...

Your A Mean One Mr. Grinch....Love the voice


I will say red would be my choice.

Thanks!

I play my favorite christmas song: "This Christmas" by The Whispers and then Nat King Cole's "Chestnuts roasting on a open fire" I know that isn't the exact title, but, you all know it. My color of choice is RED!

Glad to see another Over the Rhine fan on the list. I'd play their version of "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear" on the red system.

I can't decide which color - black or white - probably black though. As for what song I'm gonna play - I gotta choose just one? Hmmm, that's hard. I love anything from those 40's 50's singers - you know the real classic Christmas songs. But Bing Crosby's - I'll Be Home for Christmas has gotta be The One.

RED!!!! and we will play the Christmas Song sung by Nat King Cole
:)

"Santa Baby" by Eartha Kitt.
In red!!!

I'll be playing the entire "Ella Fitzgerald Wishes you a Swinging Christmas" on my kewl new black Geneva Sound System!

Gotta go with "Frosty the Snowman" by the Ronettes.

And a the white one would be suh-weet!

Ooh! I have no stereo at home. I would adore this!

Pick me! Pleeeeeease!

Ocho Kandelikas - Los Hoodios
Peace on Earth - Joshua Nelson
The Best of The Temptations Christmas

It's kind of a strange mix in our house - our Black, Jewish multicultural, interfaith family truly celebrates Chrismahanukwanzkah. Needless to say, December is a very busy month for us but nothing beats collard green latkes. Seriously.

Red would be perfect. Thanks!

song: "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas..."
what can I say, my 11 month old's favorite book is "Maurice the Hippo," so now we listen to that song--a lot.
but who doesn't love the line "mom says the hippo would eat me up, but then, teacher says a hippo is a vegeterian?

and white of course. to match his stuffed hippo.

I'll be playing The Carpenter's Christmas Songs and I would like white to match all the appliances in my kitchen.

My favorite of all times! " Last Christmas" by WHAM!
I would love it in any color, but if I had to chose it would be black. I am so exited to be part of this, it would be a great giftbag! :)

Definitely the black one, and I'd have to second the Bing Crosby "I'll be Home for Christmas".

White as snow, please, so I can rock my "All I Want For Christmas is You", Mariah Carey style.

Silent Night by the Temptations or the classic "Christmas Song" by Nat King Cole!

I'm sure they would sound so nice coming out of this amazing BLACK sound system!

rudolph the red nose reindeer!

white...

Andy Williams singing Kay Tompson's Jingle Bells. And, I'd love to have white, please, so that the dust in my pottery studio won't show so often ...

Has to be "Baby It's Cold Outside," Velma Middleton and Louis Armstrong.
Put some hot records on while I pour...
And definitely red!

It's a toss-up between two songs that could not be more different -
"I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" by Gayla Peevey, and
"Christmas in Hollis" by RUN D.M.C. Both get me into the holiday spirit far more than "O Tennenbaum" ever could.

The red is HOT!

"All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth"

In white, like my teeth!

I'd crank "Christmas Wrapping" while whipping up a pumpkin cheesecake. White, please!

I would play the song that Cindy Loo Who sings in How the Grinch Stole Christmas. It's my favorite.
And I think I'll take it in white.

They're all gorgeous, but I think I'm partial to the white one.

And, I think I'd use it to curl up on my sofa with some hot chocolate and whipped cream, and listen to Ella Fitzgerald's "What are you doing New Year's Eve?"

wait - we get to CHOOSE a color AND a song? boy oh boy!
I'll go with white (color) and white (Christmas) singing...

I love the snowy white color, butI'd never leave any of them out in the cold.

You'd hear Perry Como crooning about what Christmas is all about..."C is for the Christ child, H is for the herald angels..." and we'd all think a bit more about the season than what is in the box.

Greetings to all.

We'll be listening to "The Ultimate R&B Christmas", or "Christmas in New Orleans" or anything Frank Sinatra.
The white would be so nice and clean, the black would be so slick, but the red is so festive. It's hard to be definitive.

Snoopy's Christmas by The Royal Guardsmen will sound fabulous on this system... In WHITE for Snoopy, of course (down with the RED Baron)!

"Christmas Time Is Here" by the Vince Guaraldi Trio, of course.

(And definitely white.)

Well first I'd make the most of the sound quality by popping some Transiberian Orchestra on. I typically pretend that I hate them to my friends and family (my ears are actually burning this second as I type it), but they do sound pretty darn good loud. Particularly "Carol of the Bells." Then I'd put on Leon Redbone and Zoey Deschanel's "Baby It's Cold Outside." It's holiday-themed, smooth, and almost naughty. Perfect.

And black is perfect.

I'd play "O Tannenbaum" by Vince Guaraldi from the Snoopy Xmas Album, on a white Geneva Sound system, while decorating the tree with my husband. And crack open a microbrew (in true Northern California fashion) to enjoy the twinkly lights and a lazy Saturday afternoon alone when we're finished.

It's our little tradition, and it's the first day we get into the spirit of the season. We have the album on vinyl, and when side two has ended, the house has been transformed into our own little piece of Christmas.

"It's Beginning to Look Like Christmas" would sound great in White :)

There's nothing like 80's Christmas tunes: Wham!'s "Last Christmas" and although kind of depressing, Band-Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas?" I have to hear these songs every year!

Red please!

I would listen to "Thank God It's Christmas" by Queen on my shiny, new rock 'n roll RED sound system.

My dad's favorite Christmas song, "Feliz Navidad" by Jose Feliciano, although Pops is convinced the song is by Freddie Fender.

White, please!

i'm a downbeat fan regardless of the occasion, and right now I'm rediscovering the classics - the Suzuki album by Tosca, Big Calm by Morcheeba, anything by the Thievery Corp...

so walk in to my newly painted living room (inpsiration courtesty of the Fall Colours contest, thank you very much), sip a tumbler of Hangar One straight with a twist of lime, and relax to the mellow sweet Geneva beats. Let winter howl - we'll be just fine inside.

-berkeleydaisy

“Frosty the Snowman” by Man or Astroman

mmmmm..ReD.

Black has to look so sleek.

I would blast A Star To Follow from Christmas Eve and Other Stories by Trans-Siberian Orchestra. The song always gets me in the spirit of the holiday and sends shivers through me. I can only imagine what this would sound like a a good system that is not 14 years old.

I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm- Billie Holiday

Red-hot red please!

I love the Nutcracker Suite. It is so much fun.

Oh, and black please.

"Ave Maria Dolce Maria" by Roberto Murolo. Red, please.

I would love it in black! I love "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer".

The "Come Let Us Be Merry" cd by the Barolk Folk. I think I'd have to go with the black.

White please!

I'll be playing "I Have a Little Dreidel".

I'll be playing the 1963 classic album, A Christmas Gift for You from Phil Spector.

White, please!

I love "The Nutcracker Suite", especially Waltz of the Flowers. I also love red.

Oh wow what a cool gadget.

I would play the Elvis Christmas CD and the Sufjan Stevens Christmas Box Set.

In white please.......

"Sevivon, Sov, Sov, Sov" would be blasting on an infinite loop from my new, black sound system.

whoops! i should've said 'the RED mellow sweet Geneva beats' - a good contrast with the grey winter skies!

------

i'm a downbeat fan regardless of the occasion, and right now I'm rediscovering the classics - the Suzuki album by Tosca, Big Calm by Morcheeba, anything by the Thievery Corp...

We'll be playing, "Do They Know it's Christmas" which was sung by Band Aid in 1984 to raise money for Ethiopian famine relief. What's not to LOVE about the '80's and raising money for an important charity? We'd love the Geneva in RED!! Happy Holidays!!

I'd be listening to my favorite holiday song "What Are You Doing News Year's Eve?" by Ella Fitzgerald - on a red one!

Red, definitely. Would go perfectly with Eartha Kitt singing "Santa Baby".

Just one song? Well, if we had the WHITE system, I guess we could play "I'll be Home for Christmas" on repeat all the time, but it'll most likely just be our "25 Classic Christmas Songs" ringing through the house.

I'd like to see Red, and hear Gil Scott-Heron's "Angeldust"

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas by Judy Garland.

And Adam Sandler's Chanukah Song.

On my snazzy red Geneva!

I'd play "Baby, it's cold outside" because it always puts me in a festive and cheery mood with thoughts of snow, fireplaces, warm mugs and blankets. (And I can keep playing this song after the holidays into January.)

I love the red one - it would be a great way to add some color to my apartment.

i'll take mine in black, please.

and for the song: well, NOT that stupid adam sandler thing that gets played this time of year and, springsteen fan that i am, i think i'll still take a pass on "santa claus is coming to town". i think i'll go with 'merry christmas baby' by charles brown.

I have to also go with the Vince Guaraldi Trio with "Christmas Time is Here" from "A Charlie Brown Christmas". And red, since Snoopy's dog house is red.

Christmas Eve/Sarajevo by Trans-Siberian Orchestra

In White please!

Not strictly a Christmas song, but Two Thousand Miles by Chrissy Hynde always makes me think of Christmas and snow.
And that red is *amazing*. I need that lucky color around my place the way lately!!!

My favorite christmas songs are from "It's a Charlie Brown Christmas!" So I'm sure that would be playing.

A black or red one would be great!

oh i would go with the red model!
what to listen to, i think any of the Sufjan Stevens Songs for Christmas discs would be great for some cookie making.

The Pogues...Fairytale of New York would be playing on my RED Geneva Sound System!

hmm...one in red would certainly make our kitchen cheerier.

Blue Christmas by Elvis on a black sound system. What an awesome Christmas present!

First song I'd play: "Come On! Let's Boogey to the Elf Dance!" by Sufjan Stevens.

How difficult to choose- black, red, and white are all lovely. Red is so striking, I'd probably go with red.

I would play "You're a mean one, Mr Grinch" and I suppose I'd have to go with red as the perfect player color to match the song..... :)
Happy Holidays!
Tara

I'll take white, please. I'll be playing our all-time family favorite "We Need a Little Christmas" by the Golddiggers.

one in black would be perfect for the emo Bright Eyes christmas CD!

Oh, pretty red. Please!

Happy Holidays. I would enjoy white but would take any of the players. I would play I'll Be Home for Christmas because a friend of my family wrote the song and have Frank Sinatra sing it because he was in the Tommy Dorsey Band with my dad. :)

This is perfect... I've been looking at these types of systems for years but never got one.
Perhaps it's not original, but I'm going to have to go with BLACK and David Bowie & Bing Crosby singing "Little Drummer Boy".

The overwrought but still somehow brilliant "Do They Know Its Christmas" - it's got something for everyone! Boy George! Bono! Simon LeBon! And a nice reminder to feed the world, no matter how dated said reminder may be.

White would be lovely :)

I'd play Feliz Navidad!!!

And I'd like it in WHITE, por favor! :o)

Vince Guaraldi's classic A Charlie Brown Christmas would be playing out of a RED one for me!

I'm going with "Christmas in Hollis" by Run-DMC. It's got good beats and, one of their moms was in the video. It's also one of the few Christmas songs that doesn't make my teeth hurt.

I'd like the Geneva Sound System in red, please. That picture is irresistible.

We have a Christmas CD that I think we got at the grocery store, years ago. It includes some totally cheesetastic, disco-esque versions of holiday classics. I would love to hear that CD blaring out of a white Geneva Sound System.

Oh so so purty.

I'd most definitely play "im getting nuthin' for christmas" on the white. Such a fun song about a little boy who continues to get in trouble because he can't stop being a kid. Love it!

As a kid, I was cast-- and *repeatedly,* I might add-- in our local theater's production of "Scrooge!" I worked my way up from 2nd Smallest Cratchit Child to Eldest Cratchit Child to Head Ruffian to Fezziwig Party Guest (With grown-up clothes, even!) over the years. So for me, Christmas is inextricably entwined with the music of Leslie Bricusse and the score of "Scrooge!". If I had the white one (white, like the snows falling on Camden Town, or the ethereal gown of the Ghost of Christmas Past), I'd be recalling eight years' worth of "step-ball-change, turn, kick!" in my living room while singing "Father Christmas."

Or perhaps "Thank You Very Much" would be more appropriate?

God bless us every one!

i feel it in my fingers, i feel it in my toes, Christmas is all around me... from "Love actually"... and it has to be REd.

Ooh, Slade's "Merry Christmas Everybody"! I'd blast it out of a beautiful black Geneva Sound System.

i would play "just like christmas" by low on a red geneva sound system. i think the drums would sound nice...if the the system is as good as its $500 price tag suggests!

I'd be so happy with any color, but black would likely be my first choice. Oh I so want to hear, "Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas," -- I love Chris Isaak's version -- on this while making lots of cookies. what a great Christmas it would be! :)

I'll be playing "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" for you!

I'd LUV the black model!

HUGz! Jules

Was going to pick Simon LeBon's part of "do they know it's christmas?" but someone already said that. I'd just have to go with anything by Dead Moon because holiday music is just so terrible.

Red please.

White and "White Christmas"

Skid Row's "Jingle Bells" from the Monster Ballads Xmas CD, or course. On a white Geneva Sound System.

I absolutely love this.. very sleek.. and I love it in Red. I would listen to My Favorite Things by Diana Ross, I think.

I would love it in red.

I will be playing Deck The Halls.

Thank you!

I'm not much for religion, but I can get down right chokey about the reverence given mother and child in Christmas hymns. In that tradition, the first holiday song I would play is "Bring a Torch. Jeanette, Isabella" by Sufjan Stevens.

"Ah... ah... beautiful is the mother. Ah... ah... beautiful is her son."

and

"Quietly come and whisper, hush...hush, peacefully now he sleeps."

I think the lo-fi popping and the sweet simplicity of the song would sound just right on a black Geneva.

Black or white, baby.

The song I'd be blastin' is Santa Claus Go Straight To The Ghetto, by James Brown!

"Tell em James Brown sent you!"

Yeah!

"All I want for Christmas is You" Mariah Carey

She was in good back in the day, and right now, all i want for christmas is that system. In black please. :o)

Hard Candy Christmas by Dolly Parton, and I'd LOVE it in red or black. Heck, I'm not picky :)

If I win this sound system I'd like to play " Where do you go to(my lovely)" from the soundtrack of Darjeeling Limited over and over again. Red, white, black? Definitely RED!

The red would match my countertops as I'm listening to the White Christmas soundtrack.

The soundtrack from Elf would be playing. Specifically "Baby, It's Cold Outside" by Leon Redbone and Zooey Deschanel.

Black please.

I will be baking to the sounds of Sufjan Stevens' Christmas album. (And maybe something from Mariah Carey's eponymous holiday debut as well...)

I would love to own this in black!!!
