Favorite Christmas Songs

[tallkat70]

I'm pretty traditional. My favorite two songs 1 and 1a are O'Holy Night and Carol of the Bells. I like the Mormon Tabernacle Choir versions of both probably the best but there are other good versions, too.
Others are on my list would be:
"The Christmas Song"- Nat King Cole
"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"- Frank Sinatra
"Do you Hear What I Hear"- Perry Como
"Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth"- Bing Crosby and Bowie
"Ave Maria"- Perry Como

 

[WonderBraa]

Last Christmas - Taylor Swift. Anything else is stupid and I hate it.

Pretty ironic that a cult like the Mormons would be revered for their versions of Christmas songs.

O Holy Night is a solid pick.

Favorite rendition of a song now is Bublés take on All I Want for Christmas is You. Smooth.

 

[funKYcat75]

I like that.

Paul McCartney - "Wonderful Christmastime"

ELP - "I Believe In Father Christmas"

The Kinks - " Father Christmas"

Almost any version of "Carol Of The Bells"

Hey I like the whole spectrum of Christmas music. From Amy Grant's Tennessee Christmas to The Pogue's Fairytale of New York. It's all good!

Patsy and Elmo beg to differ.

Well I may have to back off "it's all good". Point taken.
