What is your favorite Christmas song??

[ilove2soap]

Our local radio station has all Christmas music from Thanksgiving through the day after Christmas and I have really been enjoying the songs. Do you have a favorite Christmas song that brings a smile to your face or brings back a special Christmas memory?? There are so many that I like but two of my faves are "All I Want for Christmas, Is You" by Mariah Carey and "Rocking Around the Christmas Tree"

[Lazy Bone]

I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas

 

[Hazel]

I have to agree with TessV's and Lazy Bone's choices.

I love TSO's music (they're awesome in concert) and I always smile when I hear I Want A Hippopotamus for Christmas. But I think my all time favorite is Mannheim Steamroller's two versions of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.

With you, Hazel. Steamroller. Lucky enough to be hometown group. They do an unbelievable Christmas show here every year. But I still love all the oldies. Johnny Mathis, Nat King Cole, and Bing Crosby. Oh, and Perry Como. Voice like silk. Happy Holidays y'all!

'O Holy Night' is my favorite Christmas carol of all time. It's been my favorite since I was a wee little lass of 4 or 5 years old. It gave me goosebumps then and it still gives me goosebumps to this day. I have soooo many versions of it that I have collected over the years, too. I must say that my favorite version of it by far is Michael Crawford's version.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra's Christmas Eve Sarajevo

That's an awesome one, too. I love TSO.

I also have a special place in my heart for any Christmas song sung by Andy Williams.

Ooh, you lucky woman! I've never seen them in concert. I believe my all time favorite album (showing my age here :wink: but I have bought it on CD) is Fresh Aire II. I never tire of listening to it.

'O Holy Night' is my favorite Christmas carol of all time.. I must say that my favorite version of it by far is Michael Crawford's version.

That's a wonderful version.

I don't mean to hijack the thread but I was just thinking today that I'm already sick of hearing All I Want For Christmas Is You. I hear it every time I turn on the radio. :roll:

 

[Bubbly Buddha]

Today I caught a Marilyn Monroe version of Santa Baby. Classic!

 

[nursenancy]

Mariah Carey's version of O Holy Night gives me goosebumps!

I like Have a Holly Jolly Christmas for its upbeat tune that makes you happy when you hear it.

And I like O Holy Night for its beauty about what Christmas is all about.
