Both excellent songs... my favorite recording of O Holy Night is by John Berry, a country artist... I like other versions, but his blows me away every time... clear, beautiful voice...

I can't think of any others I REALLY love... except Silent Night... and my favorite version of that is (don't laugh) the one from John Denver and The Muppets... you get to hear the Muppets sing in the original German. I just love it!

O Holy Night has got to be one of my favorites. Another is "Carol of the Bells". I also love "Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas" but that brings me to tears everytime. Oh, too many to name.....

OH! We LOOOOOOOVE John Denver and the Muppets here! That has GOT to be a favorite-Silent Night

White Christmas, but it MUST be the Bing Crosby version!

Or Good King Wenceslas... don't hear that one a lot.

It ain't Christmas in my world until I listen to John Denver and the Muppets!

I love that CD, and yes, it is out on CD if you grew up with it on an actual album like I did. My husband thought I was crazy when I found it.

That said, I think my favorite carol is Carol of the Bells. When it's sung right by a good choir it's just amazing.

I have it on CD... I found it back in 1997 in a little record shop in Nashville, as I was passing through town. I grew u with it on tape... it was my very first tape as a kid... my present that year was that tape with a little monoaural tape placer/recorder in RED!

I was over the moon when i found it on CD in TN... I cherish that CD.

I love Carol of the Bells. But my fav is "God rest ye Merry Gentlemen". There doesn't seem to be a lot of versions out there so I'm usually stuck with medleys that have it or Barenaked Ladies.

megra · Dec 1, 2008

Without doubt, it has to be "Fairytale of New York" by The Pogues with Kirsty MacColl.

natalie_ca · Dec 1, 2008

O' Holy Night is my favourite too!

mbjerkness · Dec 1, 2008

I love Silent night.

Our famlys favorite Christmas Cd is Raffi

whisky'sdad · Dec 1, 2008

I don't have a favorite song but my favorite album is Herb Alpert's Christmas Album. I grew up listening to that and have fond memories when I play it each year.

Is this it?

I love Silent Night in German.

nekochan · Dec 1, 2008

I know I'm crazy but I love Jingle Bells - by the Singing Dogs.

It's really catchy. Sometimes I just put it on repeat and play it over...and over...and over.

I have "Dr. Demento Presents: The Greatest Christmas Novelty CD Of All Time" and I like most of the other songs on there too.

GoldyCat · Dec 1, 2008

There are so many beautiful Christmas songs it's hard to choose. One of my favorites is "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day".

Yup... that's it. The audio tape of that special was, and still really is, my favorite Christmas album... with their version of Silent Night my favorite on the album.

John Denver is normally one of my favorite singers, but not in this case. Stille Nacht is such a beautiful song when done properly but their German pronunciation is horrendous.

katiemae1277 · Dec 2, 2008

ok, I absolutely do not agree with that list!! Where is White Christmas by Bing Crosby or Santa Baby by Eartha Kitt?? Call me old-fashioned, but the modern Christmas music does not stack up to the oldies.

My very favorite Christmas song is The First Noel and I also love Silver Bells, that one is not heard too much

it was my Grandmas' favorite song

I love that song

Also Marys Boy Child by BoneyM
This was always on the radio on Christmas day when I was little. Happy days!

Carols it would probably be The First Noel
