Clint Black - Till Santa's Gone (Milk and Cookies) ever since we had an awesome holiday party in 5th grade with his Christmas CD going (it was actually the year this cd came out, '95).

As to the religious songs, I like and will sing almost all of them to myself throughout the holidays

"God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" preferably sung by the likes of The Robert Shaw Chorale or a boys' choir.

I don't know why, but that carol always gets to me.

For Christmas, I like Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, the Andrew Sisters..

I think my favorite is Mele Kilikimaka by Bing Crosby and the Andrew Sisters.

Pretty much anything by Bing Crosby. That man's voice makes me melt.

(I have to add this: least favorite is Winter Wonderland...)

Favorite Religious Christmas song: O Holy Night. A handful of singers can really nail it for me. The first one I really loved was country singer John Berry. His version is simple and so gorgeous. A few others as well...

Oh I know. The all-female singing group called Celtic Woman nailed that one recently. Oh my goodness. Very very moving.

For religious songs, I love:
O, Holy Night

Gabriel's Message--Sting does a fabulous job on this one
What Child is This

For secular songs:
Snow by Loreena McKennitt
I'll Be Home for Christmas
Happy Christmas (War is Over) by John Lennon

For secular songs - "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" by Judy Garland (from "Meet Me in St. Louis"). And "The Christmas Song" (Chestnuts roasting on an open fire . . .) by Mel Torme.

Do You Hear What I Hear/Little Drummer Boy
sung by Vanessa Williams in her album "Star Bright" brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it! Actually I love that entire CD.

Non-traditional Christmas music that I really love are songs from Mojo Nixon and H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society (Freddy the Red Brained Mi-Go, It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Fish-Men, and stuff like that).

I love Elvis' christmas music
post #22 of 32
I hate most of the christmas songs, but there's this one specific live performance I like a lot: a finnish singer J-P Leppäluoto singing a song called Tonttu (means 'elf' in english, or actually a gnome, because those are what we "have" here instead). He has so amazing voice, and he's nice to watch too...
post #23 of 32
Secular: Silver Bells, Winter Wonderland

Religious: O Holy Night, Do you Hear what I Hear?

Made a mistake here, my fav Christmas song is the The Most Wonderful Time of the Year by Andy Willaims This song always puts me in the holiday mood.

It's probably because of the snow we've had this week, but I keep hearing "Sleigh Ride" in my head (and now I want to go on an actual sleigh ride!).

I agree, though, that "O Holy Night" is one of the best as far as church songs go.

"Beautiful Star of Bethleham" - (The Judd's version) is my absolute favorite!

I also love:

"Happy Christmas (War is Over)" by John Lennon
"The Holly and the Ivy"
"O Holy Night"
"Welcome To Our World" - I've sang this one about a million times in Christmas shows, but it never gets old- I love the words and meaning behind it.

And since I'm a Memphis native, I have to say my favorite Christmas CD is Elvis's Christmas Album

Every Christmas, my cousin James and I break out our guitars and usually sing/play for everyone. Cheesy, but fun!

"The Holly and the Ivy"

Oh, that's a really good one

When my cousins and whole extended family on my mom's side got together in Fresno, CA, there was usually my aunt Joann at the organ and we all sang carols... then one branch of the family was all really musical and broke out their brass instruments... all kinds of horns... five kids and one dad (the mom in that clan was Aunt Joann) all playing Christmas songs in harmony...

cousins all gathering together and playing music for family is not cheesy... I'm really the only musical one in my branch of the family... my mom was, but she doesn't do anything anymore. I'll inherit all the sheet music and instruments from my part of the family. I already have my flute and recorder... once i can afford it (and have room) I'll also get the spinet piano.

I wish I had more musical family...

Ok....I love The Twelve Pains of Christmas. I makes me laugh so much. I also like the Peanuts song.
