Favourite Christmas songs

[Clark Kent]

Some of mine are:

A Fairytale of New York
Frosty the Snowman
I Wish it Could be Christmas Everyday
All I Want for Christmas

[pepperland67]

My all-time favorite Christmas hymn is What Child Is This..and it's just not Christmas if I don't play my Frank Sinatra Christmas album.

[luvsthebeatles]

I love Christmas songs, but I'm starting to get sick of 'em.

Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time
Happy Xmas - War is over
Ringo's version of Ruldolph the Red Nosed Reindeer (haha)

Christmas In America
O Holy Night

After that it's mainly the traditional Christmas songs.

Ya know, I can't remember hearing this one. http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush4.gif Sounds cool though. My favorite is Tom Petty's It's Christmas All Over Again? Especially the line about the long distance relatives "Yeah I missed 'em, I just don't wanna kiss 'em" http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif I can relate to that. http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh5.gif

I'm sorry, ChrisG! I forgot you're not a Tom Petty fan! http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif

[george_on_cloud9]

I wanted to put Wham's "Last Christmas", but it's a sad song...

Maybe I'll go with Band Aid's "Do They Know it's Christmas". And for the Tradicionals:

"Silent Night", that makes me cry,
"Rudolph the Reindeer", so cute if sung by the Chipmunks,
also by the Chipmunks- "The Christmas Song"... and many more...

Yeah, mine also. The song has a lot of spirit .

[IWantToTellYou]

I only can stand to listen to one single Christmas tune. Call me a "grinch" if you want; but I cannot stand Christmas songs. They have been playing them since November 25th. Since when is Christmas a month long?!?

I love Wonderful Christmastime by Macca, and that is all. They don't play that one to death here on the radios.

[kaleidoscope_eyes]

I love Adam Sandler's 'the hanukkah song'... does it count? http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[BrazilianFlag]

"Silver Bells", "We Three Kings" and "Happy Xmas (War is Over)" are my all-time favourites. Probably the ones I still can't get tired of, no matter how many times it is played...!

[beatlelover45223]

I love "Silver Bells" thanks for bringing that one up. http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[beatlesno9]

right now, i'm into the whole cd by elvis, "why can't everyday be like christmas?"

[Legs]

I can't say I am really fond of Christmas music but... I love to listen to the original Moody Blues songs from their December, not only at Christmas, then there are "Ding Dong" by George and "Happy Xmas" by John.

[twovirgins]

rock rock rudolph !!...the great chuck berry

[Siobhan]

My all time favourite is Fairy Tale of New York by Kirsty MacColl and the Pogues. Ding Dong Ding Dong and Happy Xmas (War Is Over) are close behind though, as is I Wish it Could be Christmas Everyday.

[DizzymissLizzy909]

Some of my favorite relgious ones are:
What Child is This
O Holy Night
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
Joy to the World

And one others...
So This is Christmas/War is Over
Silver Bells
Wonderful Christmastime
Anything by Elvis or Bing Crosby http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Celebrian]

I love "Carol of the Bells" (perhaps that is what you mean by Ding Dong?)

Do You Hear What I Hear?
Happy Xmas (War is Over)
Drummer Boy (ver. David Bowie and Bing Crosby)


Can I also throw in the MacKenzie Bros version of the 12 Days of Christmas? http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif

Ditto...although they have been playing Wonderful Christmastime a bit much lately( I heard it 4 times this weekend), it seems department stores love that song...also some crappy teenage girl group did a cover of it that I heard at the pharmacy yesterday!

[Rellevart]

I like almost all of the traditional Christmas carols except "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear" (ok, if you like it, I had to teach it to a group of 6 year olds to sing in a Christmas pageant at church when I was 18. Think of the words. They didn't understand a single word of it. It was a NIGHTMARE!)...but I dislike almost all pop Christmas music. If I have to listen to that horrible warbling chick singing "This Chriss-MUUUUS will be, a very special Chrisss-MUSSSSS for MMMMMEEEEE" one more time, I cannot be held responsible for my actions. http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

On the radio today I heard for the first time a jazzy version of Winter Wonderland sung by JAMES TAYLOR!

It was most excellent!
