Aimee Mann [ tickets ] is in the midst of her summer tour, but she's already looking ahead to December, when she'll head out for her third annual Christmas trek.

Presale tickets are currently available for the holiday outing, which has stops booked in Los Angeles; Ridgefield, CT; Glenside, PA; Alexandria, VA; and Tarrytown, NY. Shows in Boston, San Francisco and New York will be added to the itinerary soon, according to Mann's newsletter. Check Mann's website for presale information.

The singer/songwriter's Christmas tour has been known to incorporate various comedic hosts and fellow musicians who vary from town to town. No doubt, Mann will break out material from her 2006 holiday collection, "One More Drifter in the Snow," which features originals and seasonal classics, including a version of Dr. Seuss' "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" narrated by singer/songwriter Grant-Lee Phillips.

Mann has been on the road since June supporting her new record, "@#%&! Smilers," which debuted at No. 32 on The Billboard 200 and snagged the No. 2 spot on the Top Independent Albums chart. Lead single "Freeway" remains in the Top 25 at Triple A radio after eight weeks.

"@#%&! Smilers" is said to reflect a unique creative phase in Mann's career that started after her success with 1999's "Magnolia" soundtrack, which was nominated for an Oscar, a Golden Globe and a Grammy.

"'Magnolia' got me focused on the idea of music and movies in a different way," Mann explained in her bio. "I started looking at songwriting from a different angle. [2005's concept album] 'The Forgotten Arm' I wrote as a sort of soundtrack to an imaginary movie. It's a great way of looking at songwriting. It gets me out of my own head and into the head of another character. I don't have to write about myself all the time."

Mann's current North American tour runs through mid-September and she'll launch a month-long European jaunt in October. Her domestic dates are included below and those overseas can be found at her website.
