Favorite Christmas Song

(Did we get rid of whoseamadinger yet?)

I think O Holy Night is lovely. But for pop commercial I like Sleigh Ride. I don't care who did it. I like the Ronettes version but it doesn't matter, it's so good it works for everyone.

Favorite - Merry Christmas from the family - Robert Earl Keen

Most hated - I want a hippopatamous for Christmas
-and- Walking 'round in womens' underwear

I don't know the 'artists' who sing either one of those 2 stupid songs and don't care to know.

There is a Christmas song called "One Star" by an artist named Cherie Call. I heard it a couple of years ago at a Christmas concert that featured mostly local artists. It is my new favorite. I think you can listen to a sample of it on itunes. I love most of the songs on my Carpenters Christmas album. I have always loved Silent Night, and Away in a Manger. My kid's favorites are Rudolf and Jingle Bells. My husband is from Puerto Rico and thinks our Christmas music is boring. PuertoRican Christmas music is very festive with a lot of rythym. There is nothing like Christmas there---its a big party everywhere you go for like a month.

O Holy Night. Everytime we sing that at Church, I get choked up and can't sing. It's a good thing they won't let me in the choir.

Favorite -- Carol of the Bells. Such a joyful song!

Worst -- Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer -- whoever wrote that crap deserves the same fate!

Duane, SAY WHAT??!!?? I've never heard those songs. I don't think they play them here in California. Sounds like the ultimate in "Redneck Christmas Songs", LOL!

O Holy Night is my favorite. I prefer to hear it sung by someone with a fabulous voice and great range. (not me)

One favorite here is Johnny Cash's version of "Little Dummer Boy". But then, who could ever say that Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" isn't the all-time favorite?

For my "churchy" mood, I really enjoy Advent hymns - O Come, O Come Emmanuel. Also like services that start out with Once in Royal David City.

For listening at home, we've enjoyed George Winston's "December" for many years - also season theme piano music by Liz Story and David Lanz, as well as the first 3 or 4 Windham Hill Winter Solstice and Celtic Christmas CDs.

Barb, I kid you not. I didn't know either of those songs were regional...and no..they don't play them on the country station LOL!

Walking 'round in womens' underwear is sung to the tune of 'Walking in a winter wonderland' and the hippo song is sung by a little kid...I think a girl...but like 5 years old so it's hard to tell. I should probably call Bully to let him know he can have his CD back anytime :-)

My favorites change from year to year.

Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" is a classic that will always rank high.

This year, my favorites are Bob Seager's "Drummer Boy," and Burl Ives' "Holly Jolly Christmas."

Felis Navidad y Prospero Ano, Bill

LOL!

I just heard the chipmunks this morning! Another classic!

AllllllllllllllllllllVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN

RE: Favorite Christmas Song

Yeah, the barking dogs...truly a classic!

I love the rendition of 'Little Drummer Boy' by Audio Adrenaline...it really ROCKS. Couldn't find a wavefile to share with you guys.

And a Christmas song that's quirky, (keith might enjoy it) there is a ska rendition of 'Deck the Halls' by OC Supertones...ska, la, la, la, la...

LOL Duane! Merry Christmas from the family is a good one for sure. For a funny Christmas song I like "Holy $#!t it's Christmas" by Red Peters. I also like "Father Christmas" by the Kinks! Merry Christmas everyone!
