Your favourite Christmas carols / holiday musics

[For Honor]

and they are...??


It's a hard question to answer.

One of my newest ones is "Good King Wenceslas". Marshmallow World, too. But I think my most treasured one is "The Christmas Song", by Nat 'King' Cole - the most memories, most sentimenal


How 'bout you?

 

[greeneyedgirl]

"I'll Be Home for Christmas" because I've been away for the last 21 yrs.

 

[LikeNoOneBefore]

"Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas," "Carol of the Bells" and "O Holy Night" are my favorite traditional carols. "Welcome To Our World" by Chris Rice is probably my favorite Christmas song of all time. And of course, I love "Baby, Please Come Home."

And then there are the songs from The Muppets Christmas Carol. ^_^ Hah. I'm so lame.

 

[Achtung Joshua!]

I love getting hammered while listening to my Tony Bennet Christmas CD.

 

[wenda]

Hmmm, I have to say mine are "Carol of the Bells", "Silver Bells" and "Silent Night".

 

[greeneyedgirl]

"What Child Is This"
I will always remember my grandmothers voice as she sings this song next to me in the canlelight service on Christmas Eve.

 

[MsMofoGone]

These are my all-time favorites ...

The 12 Days Of Christmas
Silent Night
Winter Wonderland
Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
O Come All Ye Faithful
O' Christmas Tree
Deck The Halls
Santa Claus Is Coming To Town




and especially these songs from the first 'A Very Special Christmas' ...

U2's ... 'Christmas (Baby Please Come Home')
Sting's ... 'Gabriel's Message'
Whitney Houston's ... 'Do You Hear What I Hear?'
Alison Moyet's ... 'The Coventry Carol'
Bruce and the E Street Band's ... 'Merry Christmas Baby'
Bon Jovi's ... 'I Wish Everyday Could Be Like Christmas'

 

[RavenBlue]

My two all time favs are O Holy Night and the Huron Carole.

 

[For Honor]

Merry Christmas Darling is one that I can't really decide if I like or not. It's a little bit too close to home, in some ways.

 

[For Honor]

I always like the "Feed the world/let them know it's christmas time" band-aid song.

I like singing Bono's parts......

 

[DeadMansParty]

"the spirit of Christmas"

Ray Charles

 

[Carek1230]

Ave Maria does it for me every year. My Dad was a great tenor and used to sing it every Christmas and he was always in tears every time, he loved that song, his father used to sing it every Christmas. So I guess it's been passed down through generations Just like Sometimes makes me cry, so does Ave Maria. It's a beautiful song.

I always liked the Little Drummer Boy too especially when I Was a kid, I don't know why.....I used to listen to it over and over. Maybe cuz I didn't have a brother, I dunno.....

And I love I'll Be Home For Christmas, What are you Doing New Years Eve, and I always wrap presents while listening to the Charlie Brown Xmas soundtrack!

What is the 12 Pains of Christmas?

It's sung to the tune of 12 Days of Christmas. They replaced everything with what people find to be such a pain about Christmas. Such as in laws,sending out Christmas cards,hanging the lights,lol. As the song nears the end it get's even funnier,lol. Their's a local radio station that I listen to that plays it a lot.

 

[Bono's shades]

I love all the traditional carols (Silent Night, O Come All Ye Faithfull, O Holy Night, etc.)

As far as modern stuff, I love The Charlie Brown Christmas album and A Very Special Christmas Vol. 1 (except for the Bon Jovi and Bryan Adams' songs.)

 

[LikeNoOneBefore]

Oh yeah, I just remembered. Happy Christmas (War Is Over)! Yep, that's another one of my favorites.
