I bought a CD yesterday called the "Belles of Christmas". Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington, Peggy Lee ... Connie Francis singing "I'll be Home for Christmas" made me cry both times through!

Got a favourite?

I love Christmas music--can't say there's just one. I drive my husband and kids and coworkers crazy!!

Remembering that is the birth of Jesus we are celebrating my favorites are "Joy To The World" and " Oh Come All Ye Faithful" , but I also love "The Twelve Days of Christmas."

i like brad paisleys christmas cd, which is strange because i cant stand country music......but the cd is wonderful

There are so many Christmas songs that I love, but I will say that "maybe" my favorite one of all is Little Drummer Boy. For me, the song reinforces what the true meaning of the SEASON is all about....the birth of hope~ love ~ eternity ~ peace

I love David Bowie and Bing Crosby's version and of course Bob Seger's, they are both on youtube.... Here is the version by Jars of Clay.

Angels We Have Heard on High - with harmony and acapella.

My all-time favorite Christmas CD is "Boney M's 20 Greatest" (I think that's the title--not too sure, but it's definitely Boney M). Love it, I have to listen to it every year. It is so upbeat, it never fails to put me in the Christmas spirit.

I think my favorite tune off that one is "Little Drummer Boy".

Last week Tony Bennet sang I'll Be Home for Christmas with the Duke Ellington orchestra. While it was a great arrangement, I thought it was the wrong song for a swingy jazz style because that song is actually a sad song on longing and missing home - sung from the heart, not jazzed up.

My favorite carol is Silent Night, specifically on an acoustic guitar. And my favorite non religious song is Happy Christmas (War is Over) by John Lennon.

I love "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" performed by Judy Garland in the film Meet Me in St Louis.

and 'O Holy Night' makes my spine tingle every time!

Silver Bells is nice too. Somewhere I have a CD of Jim Reeves singing it. Lovely! And I'm not a country music fan either.

I have too many favs. But...I absolutely love John Berry's O Holy Night...gets me every time. And Martina McBride's version too.

Silent night is my favourite

One of the hairdressing shops uptown has been playing holiday music outside for a couple of weeks now. It's growing on me Ya know that one George Michael did ... it might be called Last Christmas .... this version sounds a bit like Darren from Savage Garden. I like it.

O Holy Night

Susan, it is called 'Last Christmas' by Wham from the days before George went solo! I love it too!
