Christmas Songs

[bobbibrowneyes]

WHat is your favorite CHristmas song?

Mine is the Little Drummer Boy. I even have it as a ringtone on my cellphone!

[cromagx]

Mine is "Last Christmas", but according to the poll on this page, it seems like people love "White christmas".

But "Little drummer boy" is also great!. :p

[Oliver]

I find this a hard question, Theres that many that I enjoy.

One of my favourites though is:
Merry Christmas Everyone - Shakin Stevens.

Best Wishes
Oliver

[canadianrover]

Mine is The Christmas Song (sung by Nat King Cole). But I also love Silent Night and Band Aid, (Feed the World).

[Oliver]

Band Aids song is very very good aswell.

Oliver

[Noel]

Although I'm french, I really do love christmas carols in english , especially Nat King Cole 's christmas song, but also "You don't have to be a santa claus" and "ring those christmas bells". Here in France, we are just beginning to see christmas decorations in the shops, what about in your countries ?

[saraht2712]

i always feel in the christmas spirit after that first play of merry christmas everyone by slade, it makes me wanna dance around in a santa hat haha!! ive heard it already this year and as soon as december comes its going to be my ringtone, i also like last christmas and band aid

i am a student and work in a supemarket part time and we started selling christmas things a few weeks ago. it makes me in the mood for christmas!!

[rockmysox]

I love all christmas music. I never tire of it, unless its in the middle of the summer. But, my favorite would have to be Hansons Snowed In CD. I love the song At Christmas

I also have this cd where its all kids singing christmas songs.

store in the USA started putting out Christmas items weeks ago. But the best is yet to come.

[katarinadawn]

Has anyone ever heard of Mike Humrichouse's A Little Christmas Music?
It's an instrumental saxophone cd, but I love What Child is This and O Come O Come Emmanuel. It's a toss up between the two. I think because they both give me the cozy, sweater-wearing, hotcocoa sipping feelings I want to have during the season, you know?

[xmastalent]

Did not know him, but found some reviews here http://www.groupietunes.com/artists/mikehumrichouse

Really great. I think i like What Child is This best

[inessa]

There are words to Carols all over the web, but I was looking to Christmas Cards that had traditional Carols in it.... kind of like a combination Card/Carol/Gift. I must have checked about 50 sites and I couldn't find anything, anywhere. I really believe people are losing the old Traditions and singing Carols is one of them. There's no way you can sing Christmas Carols at a party, because only about 2 people know the words .... and getting 20 people to crowd around a computer monitor will never happen.

So I made one myself. If anybody is interested it is described on my bloggy thing here:
http://www.younicycle.com/web/giftmakers/uniquegifts/index.html
I'm selling it on etsy here: http://inessa.etsy.com

[cmrobert]

oh my gosh i am obsessed with christmas music I've been playing it since before Halloween and I'm pretty sure it's driving my boyfriend crazy. I'm listening to away in a manger right now. But I really love Silent Night and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. Any Christmas songs Nat King Cole sings or Michael Buble too though :)

[xanadude]

I just picked up Olivia Newton-John's new Christmas CD (Christmas Wish) and can't get two of the (original) songs out of my head!

Every Time it Snows is a duet with Jon Secada and is absolutely GORGEOUS!
and Christmas on My Radio is a retro-sounding rompy fun song.

Overall the whole CD is fantastic. Very lush arrangements and Olivia's gorgeous breathy voice. She chose some great classics that not everyone else and their sister record on their Christmas CDs (and she does them WELL!)

Great guest singers too! Also Barry Manilow, Michael McDonald and Jim Brickman!

Check it out! (Oh, it's only at Target stores)

Thanks for sharing xanadude, and welcome to the forums! :waving: Sounds like a CD I need to pick up my dad for Christmas - he's an Olivia fan too.

[McDLT]

My all-time favourite Christmas song/carol is God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. I really love the minor key and it's the song that is mentioned in Dickens' A Christmas Carol. :tree:

[christmas-goth-fairy]

christmas vacation by mavis staples and fairytale of new york by the pogues.

[UrbanXMas]

I like "Winter Wonderland."

[davetheeditor]

My new favorite Christmas song is "This is the Best Christmas." Good new Christmas songs are rare!!! White Christmas is over 60 years old. Merry Christmas Darling - 35 years!!! When you hear "This is the Best Christmas" you'll think you've heard it before. And there is a place where you can vote for the singers you want to sing the song. This tune is really great. I'm emailing all my friends. It's like I discovered White Christmas. Check it out at http://www.myspace.com/kathidave

Happy Holidays

[karanmi]

My Favorite Secular song is O Holy NIght .

As far as the traditional songs My favorite was one that was done years ago by Sonny James. It was called Barefoot Santa Claus. It is just the neatest and bounciest song. I have only found it once on the web and the site did not open this year.

Another cute unknown is called Percy the Puny Poinsettia. Another god one but not well known.

[hazelnut]

i dont think i have one favourite but crimbo is not complete without
slade http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niIJ9Yb-xwQ

The Christmas Song - Nat King Cole

All can be heard at my youtube page btw : http://www.youtube.com/MerryChristmas2You
if you go to my youtube page you can also click on Playlists at the top of the page, then scroll down and watch "It's a Wonderful Life", starring Jimmy Stewart.

[hallowthanksmas]

Silver Bells.

[yuletide]

Silent Night is one of my favourites.

[GingerbreadGirl]

I have so many favorites, too many to mention. Last Christmas by Wham, Spotlight on Christmas by Rufus Wainwright and White Christmas are just some of them. My favorite Christmas album is Noel by Josh Groban, I simply love every song that's on there. Thankful is absolutly beautiful!:singing:

[Wolfshead]

I've got far too many to narrow down to just one, so I'm gonna be lame and do a top ten (which is gonna be hard enough!).

In no order...

Steeleye Span - 'Gaudete'
Wham! - 'Last Christmas'
Jethro Tull - 'Ring Out Solstice Bells'
Greg Lake - 'I Beleive in Father Christmas'
Blackmore's Night - 'Christmas Eve'
Bing Crosby and David Bowie - 'Peace on Earth / Little Drummer Boy'
The Waitresses - 'Christmas Wrapping'
Mariah Carey - 'All I Want for Christmas is You'
Mediaeval Baebes - 'In Dulce Jubilo'
City of London Sinfonia - 'Adam Lay Ybounden'

Ask me this again tomorrow and chances are it'd be different. I love far too many to choose a final top ten.

[henryjamez]

I Beleive in Father Christmas
Silver Bells

[PumpkinJack81]

[PumpkinJack81]

[onemagicalchristmas]

My top 5 for this year.

1 New Again Brad Paisley and Sara Evans
2 Soldiers Silent Night
3 Snoopy's Christmas
4 My Name is CHristmas Carole
5 Mary did you Know?

just love hearing the music it speaks volumes!

[steph535]

oh man! this is a totally unfair question, lol since I have had a major obsession with Chrstmas music all my life. I have a lot more Christmas records and cd's than all my other music combined. (yes, I still have records) Here are some of my favorites; the order can change on any given day: "The Sleighing Song" by Ivan Rebroff, "Still Still Still" by Erich Kunz and the Vienna Choir Boys, "Gaudete" by the King's Singers (I just heard it this week by Steeleye (?) that one of you posted as your favorite and they are excellent, too), "Riu Riu Chiu" which is very lively, by any number of musicians and singers, "Hark the Herald Angels Sing", "O Holy Night", "All My Heart" by Alfred Deller and the Deller Consort, "O Come, O Come Emmanual", "O Little Town of Bethlehem" and there are SO many more. Two new favorites that I just heard last year for the first time are "King Jesus Hath a Garden" and "What is this Lovely Fragrance?" both on a cd called "Candlelight Carols" sung by the Choir of Trinity Church. As I am typing these songs, more and more come to mind. It would have been so much easier if the question had been "What Christmas song DON'T you like?" lol, 'cause then it would have been easy. thanks for reading my ramblings. A lot of the ones I love have been out of print for many many years, but some you can still find online. and just about any Christmas music sung by an acapella group, Chanticleer, is extraordinary.

[hazelnut]

ooh yeah wolfshead Last chirstmas is an absolute classic!

The Killers have done 2 chrismas songs for the past 2 years and are bringing out anther one this year, i think their aim is to do enough for a whole album.

I'd love The Killers to make an entire Christmas album!

[cindylouwho]

I really love most Christmas music. I cannot really pick one song but I love Christmas songs by Bing Crosby, Boney M, Stevie Wonder, Harry Connick Jr.. I also like Jane Siberry's song "Are You Burning Little Candle?". The new Sarah McLachlan is quite nice but my favorite new Christmas music is by Adrienne Pierce. She has a new record at Borders stores. It puts a smile on my face.:gelf:

[Christmas_Freak1993]

I have so many favorites, too many to mention. Last Christmas by Wham, Spotlight on Christmas by Rufus Wainwright and White Christmas are just some of them. My favorite Christmas album is Noel by Josh Groban, I simply love every song that's on there. Thankful is absolutly beautiful!:singing:

Heeheehee! thankful is my absolute favorite christmas song!:yahoo: it's also the only one i can blast all year long and not get as many ' oh my god, the crazy girl got loose again' looks i get when i sit outside my house blaring silent night. (ironic, no?) right now i am listening to It Came Upon A Midnight Clear! not my fave, but that's not by much at all! i've had this cd since it first came out, and i still cry at i'll be home for christmas!!:sad elf:

[onemagicalchristmas]

I guess I will have to look for that cd next. Josh Groban is really good!

[Elvira1986]

Chris Rea - Driving home for christmas

We always play it when we are going home after having had dinner with my parents on the first day of christmas.

[Mistletoe]

Hmm...I'm liking the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's Deck the Halls and We Wish You a Merry Christmas, The Heat Miser/Snow Miser songs, Ring Those Christmas Bells and Lawrence Welk has some happy songs (I just ordered his cd)...

[onemagicalchristmas]

I bought a copy of Baby's FIrst CHristmas cd for a friends baby and made me a copy of it. I love it so much!

[onemagicalchristmas]

Chris Rea - Driving home for christmas

[gummgirl]

I love O Holy Night. I think it's very pretty.
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas by Judy Garland (of course!)
Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker
I recently heard The Christmas Song by Stevie Wonder and India Arie and I really liked it.
Oh and The Trans-Siberian Orchestra has some good stuff.

[davidstyen]

Hi All...
I love "Little drummer boy". It is very nice to listen.
I also like The Christmas Song sung by Nat King Cole.

[Mistletoe]

Hi David! Nice to have you with us! :candycane1:

[MacShirts]

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas by Judy Garland (of course!)
Yes I just heard the Judy Garland version of this song and I really like her vibrato! Very nice and adds a different feel to the song. I also like this song by pretty much every major singer who has covered it

Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker
Oh and The Trans-Siberian Orchestra has some good stuff.
Its not christmas without these two. The Trans-Siberian Orchestra are amazing. I'd like to see them perform live one of these days...

Nice songs,
Welcome on board!! :welcome:

[gummgirl]

MacShirts Yeah, it's really beautiful. I'm so jealous I wish I had a voice like she did!

I actually had tickets to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra a few years ago but had to cancel last minute due to an illness.

[MacShirts]

Thats too bad, but health is always more important. You can always cath them another year. I really want to see The Nutcracker live this year

[gummgirl]

I've seen The Nutcracker like 6 times but I really would like to see it in New York City. Because it's professional and not some staged production.

[MacShirts]

Haha yeah I'm sure the NYC production is much better, I'd love to see New York during Christmas time

[gummgirl]

I want to go to New York so bad for Christmas.
I also think it would be cool to see the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade.

[Mistletoe]

I know the question wasnt for me, but the B&W hands down :presents2:

[gummgirl]

Issac I like the 1947 version better. I'm not really a fan of remakes so...
Actually a few years ago the original version was colorized. I saw it on AMC.

Is it true that NBC airs the film every year after the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade?

[gummgirl]

It airs some time durning the day (at least where I live it does). Last year a dog show was on after the parade.

They just don't make films like, White Christmas or the original 1947 version of, Miracle On 34th Street, anymore.

[angelpugs]

As i have collected alot of the older christmas songs like bing crosby -white christmas and many of his others as well as the time life treasury of christmas songs by the original singers and some are instrumental,i've got so many as some were my moms like dean martin christmas songs,it's a wonderful holiday here as we love these songs.:merrychristmas::rudolph:

[ChristmasFanatic]

My youngest brother and I were discussing Christmas carols and the various artists who sing them and he and I both agree, the singers from the 40s-60s really had a wonderful way of singing the carols. That's not to say that today's artists aren't as talented, but if I was asked to choose my favorite versions of these songs, it almost always is singers from the 40s-60s or 70s, even.

[Elvira1986]

I have Miracle on 234th street 1947 version. I love it!

I have bought it last year, but I have not watched it yet. I will watch it this Christmas.

[Glass]

John Lennon - Happy Christmas ( War Is Over )

[ornamentmaven]

Anything sung by Bing - "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas" and "I'll Be Home for Christmas"

I don't have to think hard about that one... Jedward of the X Factor Under Pressure/Ice Ice Baby http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d23Hc7_VpDg

I remember the song, "Ice Ice Baby" from back in the '80's. I did listen to part of the first tune, but I'm afraid I've gotten a bit too old for this type of music, lol.. I prefer things more peaceful. maybe about 20 or more years ago, I would have really enjoyed it. anyway, it doesn't seem that these are Christmas tunes to me. So, what is your favorite Christmas tune?

[olga]

The following song really gets me into Christmas spirit... :home:

I remember the song, "Ice Ice Baby" from back in the '80's. I did listen to part of the first tune, but I'm afraid I've gotten a bit too old for this type of music, lol.. I prefer things more peaceful. maybe about 20 or more years ago, I would have really enjoyed it. anyway, it doesn't seem that these are Christmas tunes to me. So, what is your favorite Christmas tune?
In that case... Do they know it's Xmas by Band Aid.

[jimmy1]

i like "bob rivers - i am santa clause". it's a parody of iron man by black sabbath, lol

[justinmichael]

My favority Christmas song is Jingle Bells by The Forton Project. You can check it out by searching for them on iTunes or going to reverbnation.com/thefortonproject

[markgbarba1987]

mine would be... "My grown up Christmas List"...
the lyrics are really very sincere and heart warming... :singing:

Although I'm french, I really do love christmas carols in english , especially Nat King Cole 's christmas song, but also "You don't have to be a santa claus" and "ring those christmas bells". Here in France, we are just beginning to see christmas decorations in the shops, what about in your countries ?

Well, I see another old classic Christmas songs, fan!!!

[olga]

My very favorite Christmas song right now is "Oh Holy Night" I love to think about Jesus and His wonderful gift to us all.

On 24 December 1906, Reginald Fessenden, broadcast the first AM radio program, which included him playing "O Holy Night" and singing the final verse.
The song therefore was one of the first pieces of music to be broadcast on radio...

i like it too! :smitten:

[Mistletoe]

Right now (:santahat:) I like The Christmas Waltz (it sounds romantic to waltz around the tree); and Mistletoe and Holly by Frank Sinatra.

[Caninemom3]

Hello !!! I love The Christmas Waltz too. My favorite version is by The Carpenters.

An old time classic great song, indeed..

After a bit of research, I found that despite being connected to Christmas, Jingle Bells is not specifically a Christmas song!!
Read here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jingle_Bells)..

I love it all. From Jingle Bells to Im dreaming of a white christmas! To songs with just instrumentals! :elf1:

I believe in Father Chirstmas, by Greg Lake.

They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
But instead it just kept on raining
A veil of tears for the Virgin's birth
I remember one Christmas morning
A winters light and a distant choir
And the peal of a bell and that Christmas Tree smell
And their eyes full of tinsel and fire
They sold me a dream of Christmas
They sold me a Silent Night
And they told me a fairy story
'Till I believed in the Israelite
And I believed in Father Christmas
And I looked at the sky with excited eyes
'Till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
And I saw him and through his disguise

I wish you a hopeful Christmas
I wish you a brave New Year
All anguish pain and sadness
Leave your heart and let your road be clear
They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
Hallelujah Noel be it Heaven or Hell
The Christmas you get you deserve.
