I couldn't find that one....but that's my choice.

[oklaclarinet]

O Come, All Ye Faithful
Hark, the Herald Angels Sing
The First Noel
Silent Night
Away in a Manger

Ev'ry Valley and For Unto Us from Handel's Messiah

White Christmas
Silver Bells
I'll Be Home for Christmas
Somewhere in My Memory

[OUthunder]

So many to chose from. Even though I seldom go home for any holiday due to bad memories and bad feelings, I'll go with:

1. I'll Be Home For Christmas by Bing Crosby.

2. My Favorite Things (Not sure if it qualifies as a real Xmas tune tho)

Ev'ry Valley and For Unto Us from Handel's Messiah

White Christmas
Silver Bells

Somewhere in My Memory

this contains most of the best ones !!!

along these lines, my all time favorite is "oh Holy Night" !!!!!!!!!

[Soonerson1975]

O Come, All Ye Faithful

I don't think this song is about Christmas.

[oklaclarinet]

I don't think this song is about Christmas.

Maybe you're thinking of a different song, but this has been my favorite Christmas hymn since I can remember. The lyrics:

1. O come all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye, to Bethlehem.
Come and behold him, born the King of angels;
Refrain:
O come let us adore him, O come let us adore him,
O come let us adore him, Christ the Lord.

2. True God of true God, Light from Light Eternal,
lo, he shuns not the Virgin's womb;
Son of the Father, begotten not created;
(Refrain)

3. Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation;
O sing, all ye citizens of heaven above!
Glory to God, all glory in the highest;
(Refrain)

4. See how the shepherds, summoned to his cradle,
leaving their flocks, draw nigh to gaze;
we too will thither bend our joyful footsteps;
(Refrain)

5. Child, for us sinners poor and in the manger,
we would embrace thee with love and awe.
Who would not love thee, loving us so dearly?
(Refrain)

6. Yea, Lord, we greet thee, born this happy morning,
Jesus, to thee be all glory given.
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing:
(Refrain)

If that's not a Christmas song, I don't know what is.

I absolutely LOVE Christmas! It's my favorite time of the year. I'm always so depressed after it's over. I love the tree, the lights, the food, being with my family, etc. That said, here are my favorites-

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow
Sleigh Ride - Boston Pops
Baby It's Cold Outside - Dean Martin's version
White Christmas - Bing Crosby (also my favorite movie)
Santa Baby
Mary Did You Know?
Celebrate Me Home - Kenny Loggins
Deck The Halls - Mannheim Steamroller
Silent Night - Mannheim Steamroller
Good King Wenceslas - Mannheim Steamroller

Sorry, have lots of favorites :)

There's a great version of that by Twisted Sister. ;)


Favorite tune is impossible - how about favorite ALBUM?

1. Harry Connick, Jr. - Harry for the Holidays (which, by the way, has a version of Blue Christmas that is so much better than the Elvis version that I can't even describe it.)

2. Tony ****ing Bennett and the Count Basie Orchestra. 'nuff said.

3. The Muppets with John Denver. And I'm not even kidding. That's been one of my favorites since I was about, oh, 4 years old.

[TitoMorelli]

I like the one that describes most of the posters on here - "The Little Drunkard Boy."

[3rdgensooner]

I assume I'll get a few dissenters on this, but it's a newer favored song that fits the Christmas genre:

1.
Angels we have heard on high
Singing sweetly through the night
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their plain delight
Glo o o o o o ria
In Excelcis Deo
Glo o o o o o ria
In Excelcis Deo

2.
Jewelry is the gift to give
Cuz it's the gift that will live and live
So give the gift you know can't fail
From BC Clark's
Anniversary sale!

[OUmillenium]

Winter Wonderland - Stryper has a cool version

Let It Snow - Dean Martin or Perry Como

Baby Its Cold Outside - Dean Martin

Oh, and the themesong to Christmas Vacation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[royalfan5]

I'll second John Denver and the Muppets. I still know that album by heart.

Also, the Oak Ridge Boys Christmas album.

On the strictly religous side, Oh Come, Oh Come, Emmauel.

I also like this version of "O Come, O Come Emanuel" by Margaret Becker. Not a good video, but the song is good.
