There's a bunch more, but I don't have the time to list them all.

[Merry Sage]

White Christmas, by Bing Crosby. All time, never fails to do the trick song.

...12 Days of Christmas by Bob and Doug McKenzie.

That's a funny one. I still remember the first time I heard it and all the subsequent hysterical laughter.


I couldn't choose a favorite. Way too hard.

[JayIsh]

I don't know if I could choose a single song. There are so many, suitable to so many moods...the best I can come up with is to pick my favorite Christmas albums...And even there I'd have to pick three...

1) Kenny Loggins' Christmas album entitle "December". Pure genius, both originals and classics performed with a touch of melancholia, if that's a word, that hits you right in the heart!

2) Sountrack to "Charlie Brown Christmas". Vince Guaraldi, a jazz prodigy who died way to young, and the members of his band played music to many, if not all, Charlie Brown TV specials. This one, again encompassing both originals and standards really catches the holiday spirit. And the fact that we all, as children, heard this music while we enjoying our once a year chance to watch this wonderful cartoon, make this music warm us in places that only Christmas can reach!

3) Any of the many Bing Crosby christmas albums that are available. the one that I listen to most is called "Bing Crosby's Christmas Classics! When I hear his medley of "What Child is This/The Holly and the Ivy", the memories flow, as do the tears...Bing's voice and the songs he sang are truly the best Christmas gift we've ever been given!!!

[Minta]

There a lot of songs that I love but my top favoites are
Anything from TSO
White Christmas - Bing Crosby
Christmas Song - Nat King Cole
Do they know it's Christmas - Band Aid

[SnowMaiden1018]

I think the one that gets me everytime would have to be
What Child is this? and O Holy Night!
Oh and the Duet with Bing Crosby and David Bowie--Let there be peace on earth/Little Drummer Boy--Ok yep! Thats my favorite!
Its so hard to choose isn't it?

[Andrex]

Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24 by TSO is my favorite. Anything else by them and anything on the first disc of the first Now! That's What I Call Christmas is on my favorites list.

[caseydbell]

There are only a few I dont like, all the rest are my favorites

[sarahelizabeth]

I love so many of them that it's too hard to pick a favorite. But one that always gets me moving is Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree by Brenda Lee. :D

xo

[gameshowguy2000]

I've got many favorites, but my top two are:

1. "Thank God For Kids" by the Oak Ridge Boys
2. "My Only Wish (This Year)" by Britney Spears

In fact, I got both these songs on my MP3 Player.

[obutiny]

I don't know that I have a definative favorite. I'm currently hooked on a lot of what the indie pop/rock artists are doing though. Death Cab for Cutie does a version of Christmas (Baby Please Come Home), and Sufjan Stevens has released a five EP collection of Christmas songs both old and new. I also have a soft spot for "Christmastime in Arkansas Again", but sadly, I cannot locate a copy of it.

[Kristmas Kate]

Santa Baby, or The Christmas Song

who does that one?

[JayIsh]

"Ned live at red rocks. (Outtakes).(CD from Allbritton Communications Corp. features Ned Perme playing Christmas music)

A Christmas tradition for a Little Rock network news affiliate has turned into what could be a lucrative opportunity for local nonprofits.

Allbritton Communications Corp.'s KATV-TV, Channel 7, has finally created a compact disc featuring meteorologist Ned Perme playing traditional Christmas music. The CD, "Songs for the Season: A Collection for Christmas," includes "Christmas Time in Arkansas Again," an original song by Perme with vocals by the late Terry Rose. Perme also is accompanied by the Quapaw Quartet of the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra."

This one may be hard to find...I'd try ebay and Amazon, and then maybe some record stores in Arkansas...Good luck!!!

When Christmas is a lifestyle, chosing one all time favorite is nearly impossible. However, there are favorites for different situations.

For instance:

--My summer favorites include the soundtrack to "Home Alone", Tony Bennett's "Snowfall" album, Celiene Dion's Christmas album, and Frank Sinatra's Christmas Album. Those just seem to "cut the heat" for me and that's what I play while I'm working on the next season's display.

--Once fall arrives I lean more to my traditional favorites like Rosemary Clooney, Bing Crosby, the Percy Faith Orchestra, The Vince Guaraldi Trio (Charlie Brown), the soundtrack to "Little Women," handbell choirs, children's choirs, The Mills Brothers, Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald...all the songs that screem for C-7 lights and tinsel on the tree.

--For trips down memory lane, my favorites are Elton John's "Step Into Christmas" and the Bing Crosby/David Bowie duet of the Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth, and the Carpenters' "Merry Christmas Baby."

In short, I could narrow it down to 2-3 CDs I would want if stranded for weeks on end, but never could I narrow it down to one song.

[JayIsh]

Hey Martha!

Tell me about the "Little Women" soundtrack!!! Is that a Christmas based CD?

jay

[Jeff Westover]

I think she might be referring to the soundtrack to the Little Women movie that came out in the 1990s some time. I don 't have the soundtrack but we consider it a Christmas movie in my house.

[dvdguy]

hmmm not familiar with this one

[SW1Dennis]

My favorite has to be Sleigh Ride. A close second is The Most Wonderful Time of the Year.

[Merry Sage]

At the moment, I'm enjoying "Merry Christmas Baby", by Charles Brown. Can't beat a good jazz rendition of the Seasonal favourites.
