Whats your Favorite Christmas Song?

[Ru4scuba?]

This time of year, we are deluged with Christmas songs...in the Mall, at Church, in the car on the way to work, at work...when you wake up on your alarm.

Which ones truely encapsulate "The Christmas Spirit" for those of you that celebrate?

For me, its Carol of the Bells:

History Here:

Version that I think nails it Here:

 

[cybrok]

Same here.

The Home Alone version is great too.

That and Trans Siberian Orchestra's album:

Is Greensleeves considered a Christmas song?

I'm a big fan of Somewhere in My Memory from Home Alone.

I also like Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas is You.

I don't particularly care for the classics. Most of them are too somber.

The little drummer boy - Bob Seger

I wish everyday could be like Christmas - Bon Jovi

Do you hear what I hear? - Whitney Houston

That and Trans Siberian Orchestra's album:

beat me to it...also Wizards of Winter, Nutrocker, Wish Lizt...ah heck, I love everything TSO puts out!

I like most of the classics, a lot of the new stuff, I like it all!

Point of Grace has a song Let There Be Light, great song too

choir nerd time

Lo how a rose is blooming

( belo is an attempt from menory have not tried in several years.)

from tender stem hath sprung
it came a florite bright
when ... was the night
..
bugger......


well back to the list
patta pan...

well all i ever needed to learn was pat a pan.... not the rest the advantage of being a baritone.

Carrol of the bells...

and this .. although not Christmasie it was an Ozarks tradition to end

Beautiful Savior

Fairytale of New York

 

[Topgumby]

"Ring Those Christmas Bells" - Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians.

Corny, horrible lyrics, inane tune. An absolute earworm that has become my favorite, Lord help me.

 

[Mr_Amazing]

"Merry Christmas"

 

[RILEY]

For me its "I'll Be Home For Christmas" as sung by Bing Crosby and "Marshmallow World" as sung by Dean Martin

 

[Angus Young]

I only like one Christmas song. Greg Lake from ELP sang it, can't remember the title for sure but it might be I believe in father Christmas.
