I vote for Little Drummer Boy. You’ve already listed Merry Christmas Baby, which I think she’d sound great on. Also, Silver Bells. If Lucinda made a Christmas record, I *might* actually stop being annoyed by Christmas music!!

Lucinda could probably sing the Macarena and get me to liking it. As for xmas songs for her to tackle though, and of the standards would be great, although I’d like to hear her compose her own Christmas song a la The Kinks with “Father Christmas”.
I think she could tear up some “Pretty Paper,” and do Elvis proud on “Blue Christmas.”
Elvis Presley, mind, not Costello. Although I loved the duets with Elvis C., there is no need for him to help out on the Christmas album, and there is also no need for Lucinda to do a posthumous duet with Presley, ala Natalie/Nat King Cole. I still think those things are a little creepy. 😉
