Favourite Holiday songs??

As I sit here listening to some Christmas (Holiday!) tunes, I got to wondering what others faves are. Mine are:

~O Holy Night
~Gabriel's Message
~O Come O Come Emmanuel
~Carol of the Bells
~Lo How a Rose E're Blooming
~Do They Know it's Christmas
and a fun one
~Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer (it has to the Irish Rovers version though)

Silent Night, Away in a Manger....

I would say my favorite is Christmas Shoes, I want a Hipopatamous for Christmas, Its the most Wondreful time of year, Christmas Wish.

I really like "Carol of the Bells".....its sooo eerie sounding....

I love them all, but here are the different ones I like!!
Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer (hehe)
The one where the little boy wants to buy shoes for his dying mom for Christmas to meet Jesus in. I cry every time I hear it!
And the one with the little girl whos name is Mary Christmas and all she wants is someone to adopt her.

The Redneck Twelve Days of Christmas
Save a Horse, Ride a Reindeer

Mariah Carey, all I want for Christmas is you...
I know its not a classic or anything but AS SOON as I hear it I get excited. AAAAAAAHHHHH ITS NEARLY CHRISTMAS!!!

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Happy Xmas/War Is Over (John Lennon)
Christmas Wrapping (The Waitresses)
All I Want For Christmas Is You (Marian Carey)

And I hope you are dancing around the room shakin your stuff! I have had the song in my head all day at work and just want to dance on my desk.

My Favorites are the one's Reba sings:
Mary Did You Know,
The Christmas Guest,
One Child One day,
This Is My Prayer,
THe Angels Sang.
A Chirstmas Letter
And ESPECIALLY her HAPPY BIRTHDAY Jesus (I'll open this one just for you)


Course I also love George's
Merry Christmas Strait to You
When It's Christmas Time in Texas,
and ESPECIALLY There's A New Kid in Town.

Then there is Garth's
Baby Jesus is Born
Mary Had a Little Lamb
Go Tell it on the Mountain
and of course Zat You Santa Claus
and Call Me Claus!

Course mine are not "traditional" Christmas Hymns and we don't sing them in Church but they ARE beautiful!

ONE THING THOUGH ----! I cannot see to drive at night and had to miss the Choir's of my city and my neighboring city singing at Church the other night. The one song I especially wanted to hear was Mary Did you Know.

THEN yesterday at Chuch my OWN Church Choir sang it. UNREAL!

I like a lot of trans siberian orchestra songs especially:

Christmas Canon Rock
A Mad Russian's Christmas
Christmas Eve in Sarajevo
O Holy Night
Faith Noel

among others..

My top songs other than TSO are:

Santa Baby
Oi to the World (the no doubt cover)
the Chanukkah Song
And I love "Lully lulay" because it kinda zones me out

I like "hark how the bells, sweet silver bells, all seem to say thow cares away."

I believe it's called the opera of the bells

I love Christmas music period, but some of my faves are the funnier ones, just because they put you in a lovely mood!!

-I wanna hippopatamous for Christmas
-Dominique the Donkey
-Maria (the little girl that finds the bird...)
-O Holy Night (it was my Omi's favorite song)

Do You Hear What I Hear?
O Holy Night
Mary Did You Know
Winter Wonderland
I'll Be Home for Christmas
Sleighride
