What is your favorite Christmas song? Is there a reason it is your favorite?

identicaltwins2be · November 2010

O Holy Night - I think it is one of the most beautiful songs.

Sleigh Ride by Leroy Anderson - it's just so timeless and I played this song in my orchestra in high school. I was the bells, whip, and wood block. Ha!

Trans-Siberian Orchestra's Wizards in Winter - only because Katie will headband to the song everytime we hear it on the radio. It's so funny!

I love "O Holy Night" as well. It's a great song for a vocal solo (not done by me - done by someone with talent) because it's very moving, in my opinion.

I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas and O Holy Night are my classic favorites, but last year I discovered a Tim Minchin song that talks about how non-religious people can enjoy the season, too, and that's my new favorite. It's called White Wine in the Sun, and if you're curious you can listen to it on my blog.

* disclaimer: some of the song is sarcastic, I'm not trying to offend anyone. The sentiment behind it is genuine, though.

I love the song Silent Night, I always have. Now I just wish we could have a silent night (DD is teething!). Happy Holidays!

I love O Holy Night too.

I also like Baby It's Cold Outside which isn't really a Christmas song and Blue Christmas. Conor Oberst did a really emo version of it on his record label's Christmas CD a few years ago that I like better than Elvis'.

PolarBerry · November 2010

another vote for o holy night... (particularly the acapella version sung by nsync... because I was OBSESSED with nsync back in the day :P)

but, i also really love god rest ye merry gentleman sung by barenaked ladies.

Up on the Housetop. My mom and I always sang that when I was little. I want to teach it to Logan.

My all time favorite is "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas". I have loved that song since I was little. I also really like "Santa baby".

I have two and I really don't know which is my favorite. My first is Angels We Have Heard on High, and it's mainly because of the chorus (Glor-r-r-r-r-r-ia in excelsis deo). My other favorite is the Hallelujah Chorus. It's just beautiful and is meant to be played loud and sung at the top of your lungs.

MrsMandaK · November 2010

I Want a Hippopotamus... is my favorite "fun" song; Mary Did Know is my favorite religious one.

KYmama9286 · November 2010

O Holy Night because as a Christian the meaning is so important for me personally. I also really like Michael Buble- My Grown Up Christmas List and of course Mariah Carey's- All I Want For Christmas is You

Least favorite--that stupid Christmas shoes song which drives me up the wall...I know some people love it but it is WAY too sappy and annoying for me and it gets played non-stop

jerseygirl81 · November 2010

Oh! I forgot about my all-time favorite rock christmas song - Merry Christmas Baby sing by Brice Springsteen. I

that song and I can't believe I forgot about it!

curlypie1 · November 2010

O Holy Night is my classic favorite hands down.

My contemporary favorite is Joni Mitchell's River. Simply breathtaking. I prefer it sung by Robert Downey Jr. on Ally McBeal though. I really like that guy.

I have another vote for O Holy Night. When they get to the "Fall on your knees" part it can be absolutely breathtaking.

JLPT830 · November 2010

My favorite fun song is "I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" and my favorite religious song is a toss up between Silent Night and Breath of Heaven. My church does this version of Silent Night where they pair it with another song (I can never remember the name) and I can't make it through without tearing up. It's so beautiful. I can't watch the J&J commercial with Silent Night either....I bawl.

cops_wife · November 2010

The Christmas Song, sung by Nat King Cole.

I also madly love James Taylor's entire Christmas CD, especially "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and "Baby, It's Cold Outside." I looove Christmas music.

KarmaKP · November 2010

Grown Up Christmas List

Silver Bells

KristenBtobe · November 2010

I have way more than one. I prefer sacred music, some of my favorites are:
O Come O Come Emmanuel (an advent song, really)

What Child is This?

Silent Night (never fails to make me cry when we sing it at Christmas Eve service)

Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming

Away in a Manger

MrsMoher · November 2010

All of them.. I PPH Christmas music. LOL

Modern songs, I love Aselin Debison's song, "The Gift". It just has a really great story in it. Very cute.

Traditional songs, probably "What Child is This?" (b/c my mom sang it to me as a lullabye).
