What's Your Favorite Christmas Song?

What is your favorite Christmas song? Mine is "O Holy Night". I just think the lyrics and the tune is so beautiful. My second favorite is "Blue Christmas"-- Sheryl Crow does a great version of it.

I like O Holy Night too. But, Mary Did You Know is also a good song.

Favorite: Silent Night. I particularly like listening/singing it in French or Japanese (Peach Hips does a very sweet Japanese version). No, I don't know why I prefer it in a different language, I just do. Dolly Parton does my favorite English rendition.

Second Favorite: Little Drummer Boy sung by Johnny Cash. His voice is amazing. I'm not all that fond of Little Drummer Boy on its own, but with Johnny singing it, it shoots up the list of favorites.

Others favorites: We Three Kings, En Flambeau (I think that's the name), O Holy Night (preferably in French), The Christmas Song (particularly in Japanese sung by Shinohara Emi), and Angels We Have Heard on High.

Mary, Did You Know, and I Celebrate the Day [Relient K].
There's also that song "Let's Put Christ Back in Christmas"...I forgot who did it, but I love it.

I love Let it Snow, but I also like We Three Kings, Mary Did You Know, and basically every other "classic" holiday song.

Bah Humbug, I hate Mary Did You Know with a passion- but I will listen to it and sing along anyway

I really like O Holy Night sung by none other than Josh Groban.
I like all the classics aaaaand Merry Christmas, Darling by the Carpenters.
I will think of more!

I love A Charlie Brown Christmas. It's great

Fairytale In New York. It's the best song for getting drunk relatives up on the dancefloor singing it in a crap manner at the top of their voices.

Also Good King Wenceslas.

Ooh, Christmas Wrapping (The Waitresses) is great. It's my guitar teacher's favourite Christmas song, so he taught it to me and I loved it. The lyrics are the best part - so cute!

What's the one that Tom Jones did with Catatonia woman? I quite like that one... As you can see, I'm not the biggest fan of Christmas music.

Ooh no, actually, "I believe in Father Christmas" by Emerson, Lake and Palmer is good. And "I wish it could be Christmas everyday" by Wizzard never fails to make me laugh. Those Brummie kids... *giggle*
