Favorite song: Carol of the Bells, espically when played on handbells.

Favorite Christmas Album: Phil Spector's "A Christmas Gift to You"

O Little Town of Bethlehem. Absolutely heart-warming and thought-provoking.

Let it Snow always lifts me up.

I also like The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)

Believe it or not, The Christmas Song, one of the classiest holiday songs, was written by one of the tackist guys: Mel Torme

White Christmas will always be a favorite. Especially when sung by Bing Crosby.

*A* local radio station.. TWO local radio stations are playing non stop Christmas!

One I particularly like is "Merry Christmas from the Family"... try looking up the lyrics for that one :)

But seriously.. for traditional songs, I love Silent Night and Oh Holy Night.. I sing horribly but I love going to Midnight Mass and singing those songs

For "popular" songs.. the Eagles version of Please Come Home for Christmas, This Christmas, and the Muppets version of The Twelve Days of Christmas

When I was younger and stayed up all night Christmas eve, I was listening to the oldies station's 24 hrs of Christmas and they played Little Drummer Boy EVERY OTHER SONG! I don't like it anymore since then :(

It is hard to pick a favorite from all the ones I really like. I guess I will go with O Holy Night, Oh Come All Ye Faithful, and Silent Night. More contemporary ones I like include White Christmas, Christmas Song by Jethro Tull, and John Lennons Happy Christmas. One of my favorite Christmas albums is one I have that was done by Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra. I am glad I was able to find it on CD.

"THE Christmas Song." The whole "Chesnuts roasting on an open fire..." one. I LOVE that one!

Adam Sandler's "Happy Hannuka"
Mariah Carey's christmas album
The chipmunks christmas album
and Bing Crosby's Christmas stuff
Carol of the bells is nice as well

Snoopy and the Red Baron(not sure if this is the real title)

For humor I like Frosty The Dopeman.

The Kinks
"Father Christmas"

When I was small I believed in Santa Clause
Though I knew it was my dad
And I would hang up my stocking at Christmas
Open my presents and I'd be glad

But the last time I played Father Christmas
I stood outside a department store
A gang of kids came over and mugged me
And knocked my reindeer to the floor

They said:
"Father Christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys.
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread so don't make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

"Don't give my brother a real trashy outfit
Don't give my sister a cuddly toy
We don't want a jigsaw or monopoly money
We only want the real McCoy

"Father Christmas, give us some money
We'll beat you up if you make us annoyed
Father Christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys

"But give my daddy a job 'cause he needs one
He's got lots of mouths to feed
But if you've got one, I'll have a machine gun
So I can scare all the kids down the street

"Father Christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

Have yourself a merry merry Christmas
Have yourself a good time
But remember the kids who got nothin'
While you're drinkin' down your wine

"Father Christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread, so don't make us annoyed

"Father Christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
Give all the toys to the little rich boys
