I want to take "Silent Night", put it in 17/4, add electric violins and slide guitars and play it backwards. 
 
I want to rape it and make it prog Angry

Thanks to one of the contributors above I bought the Tori Amos disc 'Midwinter Graces'.
A very nice listen, thanks for that.
 
Also, you might like to listen to Vienna Circle christmas song on their myspace page and last.fm
 
Nice to hear a Christmas song with gilmouresque guitar.

Keith Emerson's Christmas album ain't bad, although even he stoops to using a kiddies choir on one of the tracks. One of the best Christmas(y) songs of all time was Chris Squire's Run With the Fox, which died on it's arse unfortunately. I would however walk over red hot coals to hear Peter Hamill tackle something like Silent Night or Ding Dong Merrily on High (perhaps Jon Anderson might be a better bet for the latter ?)

I say you haven't heard proggy Christmas rock until you've heard Bob Dylan sing Hark the Herald Angels Sing or O Little Town of Bethlehem.

I believe the free Little Tragedies album Magic Shop is a Christmas album. Free download at http:// www.littletragedies.com/magic_shop.htm

Cool thread, if there's going to be Christmas music on, best be prog.  She's not officially prog here, but I've just given this a spin:

If you want to have something unconventional on hand, it's really good.

Of course nothing can ever top this:
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

1225 by a Christian Rock band called Ten Point Ten is a progressive rock Xmas album that I can heartily recommend.
 
Comes off the shelf every December.

Is there an actual prog christmas album, or is it just a christmas album done by prog rockers?

My opinion is that all christmas albums are not prog....what would be the reason for them to be???

I vote that you put my progressive rock Christmas song, "Christmastime is Now," on the album. In fact, I think a progressive rock Christmas album for next year would be great if we got a bunch of newer artists to record original songs for it. I would like to hear Christmas songs by Dr. Zoltan Obelisk and Phideaux.

Listen to Johnny Unicorn's "Christmastime is Now!"

There's this one:



Not much prog though, plus it contains the horrifying Run With the Fox.
