I have a few they are:

Rockin Around the Christmas Tree, Brenda Lee
Jingle Bell Rock
Mary's Boy Child by Bonie M (sp?)

Angels we Have Heard on High
The First Noel

My absolute favourite is Rockin around the Christmas Tree. I once went on a mission to get this ornament that played the original version. I got the last one in the city!

Mine is the TOTALLY non traditional christmas tune, yet TOTALLY traditional...

12 PAINS OF CHRISTMAS!

Every year I hear it and laugh and laugh and laugh!

Haven't heard it yet this year, have you?

An oldie but goodie

I love O Holy Night. It's my all-time favorite. But I also like Grown Up Christmas Wish, Silent Night, and the instrumental Boston Pops arrangement of Sleigh Ride (of course it could be Keith Lockhart in a Santa Suit ;-)

Peace to all,
Kelly

"O holy night" is my all time favorite. The "Fall on your knees" line gives me chill bumps every time. "Hark the herold Angels sing" is another favorite. I also like "Have yourself a merry little Christmas" Ummm, epecially when Kermit the Frog sings it.

One song that always comes to mind every year is Conway Twitty's version of Silver Bells, even though I haven't actually heard it since I was 12. Also, Boys 2 Men have the most outstanding, heart breaking version of Silent Night that I've ever heard. I recommend hearing their beautiful voices every Christmas.

Merry Solstice Season Everyone!

I thought I was the only person who LOVED "O HOLY NIGHT"! It gives me chills and brings me to tears. I also love my "CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS" cd. My ds and I dance all around the house to it!

Warmly~

"Go Tell It On The Mountain" sung by the amazing Diana Ross accompanied by the London Symphony Orchestra. If you haven't heard this selection yet, go find it, it's a must have and will move you everytime!

It is difficult to find (I've been trying...) but the musical selections from "John Denver and the Muppets - A Christmas Together" are just wonderful... Can you guess my age? I grew up listening to this album every year. Great versions of lighter stuff like the Twelve Days song (Miss Piggy's "BAH dum dum dum..."... John's "Animal, sit!"), really beautiful less common songs with John Denver ("It's in every one of us" always gets me...), the aforementioned Kermit version of "Have yourself a merry little christmas," just a great album, especially for kids.

Okay, and I have to include, since I am being nostalgic for my childhood, from Barbara Streisand, her version of Jingle Bells...

Little drummer Boy is my favorite, but my second favorite is a spoof my dad used to sing of We Three Kings...

We three kings of Orient are
trying to smoke a rubber cigar
it was loaded, it exploded
Now we wonder where we are.

I just love my dad!

Oh, it's definitely O Holy Night for me, too. Carl Anderson sings a version of it that will make you cry! It is unbelievably rich, and just knocks you on your knees!

Adeste Fidelis

Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring

What Child is This (also on guitar, Nursing Mother! the best!)

And Let There Be Peace on Earth (by Voyceboxing, who sing it "With God as our Father, Sisters all are We ..." )

And this year I have heard a beautiful rendition of Silent Night by a woman I don't know, singing very slowly and softly, beautifully heartfelt, in a language I don't recognize (Russian? Polish?). It's gorgeous. Anyone know who she is?

best Christmas songs

Up on the Housetop by the Jackson 5 totally rules.

And Tracy Chapman does a kick-ass version of O Holy Night. So does Aaron Neville.

How about the Irish tune, "Christmas in Killarney?" (sp?) Awesome song, very fast paced. My 3 yo nephew loves Garth Brooks, "Santa Looked a Lot Like Daddy;" 2 yo son loves ALL music!
