I dig the playlist!
You should check out Guster's "Donde Esta Santa Claus?"
Check it out on YouTube.
I love that song, especially as done by Guster.

I actually put my current playlist, which has a few indies, up a few weeks ago: http://trecs.wordpress.com/2009/11/14/my-2009-holiday-playlist/

Sufjan Stevens' version of "O Come O Come Emmanuel" is definitely a favorite.
Christmas in the Trenches - John McCutcheon
Arthur McBride and the Sergeant - Paul Brady
At Last I'm Ready for Christmas - Stan Rogers
Christians & the Pagans - Dar Williams

I used to know a lot more, but my brain fell out.
I always loved Bright Eyes' Christmas album. And Brand New's cover of "O Holy Night" it pretty sweet too.
My list is a little dated, I'll just add the highlights:

Joy to the World - Steve Morse
Good King Wencenslaus - Butthole Surfers
Oh Little Town of Bethlehem - Hangnail
O Come All Ye Faithful - Flight 180
Little Drummer Boy - The Dandy Warhols
Winter Wonderland/Misty Mountain Hop - Fleming & John
Christmas In Hell - Spinal Tap
Deck the Halls - Ted Nugent
Blue Christmas - Joe Perry
A Christmas Story - Ben Folds
Ave Maria - Sugarboom
I'm Mad at the Fat Man - Ray & Clover
Alien for Christmas - Fountains of Wayne
Gloria in Excelcis Deo - Pond
Dominic the Italian Christmas Donkey - (no clue, but this song is ridiculous)
I totally forgot to add one of my favorites!

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen - Viva Voce

(That rendition rocks!)
I like the Transiberian Orchestra. I have of their music on my iPod. Good stuff.
Last week I did a post on one of my favorite alternative Christmas songs - River by Joni Mitchell. It has been one of my favorite holiday songs since I was 13 or so. Check it out.


You list is awesome by the way.
Thanks! I'll definitely check it out!
Can't wait to get home from work and check this out! Thanks for sharing it.

Has anyone heard My Chemical Romance's version of "All I Want for Christmas"? I adore it. (Not exactly alt/indie, but a good remake.)
Mad props for MCR's cover. It's so great.
It's on the list! It's great :)
