5 favorite Christmas Songs

[Darrell KSR]

I'm sure I'll change these when people start posting about their own, but off the top of my head, here are my five favorite Christmas songs:

Grandma got run over by a rain....nah, not in a million years. Here's my list; what is yours?


1) White Christmas

2) You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch

3) Silent Night

4) O Holy Night

5) O Come, All Ye Faithful

6) All I want for Christmas is You (sorry, couldn't stop at 5)

I would drop # 6 if I have to stick to my own rules.

Little Drummer Boy
Silent Night
O Holy Night
Oh Come All ye Faithful
Hark the Herald Angels Sing

I have a real liking for the Manheim Steamroller versions of those songs/carols but the traditional renditions are great as well.

Santa Baby (Eartha Kitt version)
Baby It's Cold Outside (Dean Martin)
Christmas Time is Here (Peanuts)

Charles Brown's Cool Christmas Blues--the Album
Christmas Must Be Tonight Joan Armstrong Covering The Band
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas Paul Ray "Austin Rhythm and Blues Christmas"
Back Door Santa Clarence Carter
Stay a Little Longer, Santa Shamekia Copeland
Children Go Where I send Thee (Natalie Merchant or Joan Osborne)
Christmas on the Beach Barbra Lica

Yes, I know it isn't five. Just a few from my Christmas compilations that get some reactions. I also like the Band's version of their "Christmas Must Be Tonight". Rick Danko and Levon Helm.

Hard to pick just 5. I really do enjoy Christmas music, both carols and secular.

I have to go with

--O Holy Night (the Josh Groban version is my favorite)
--Silent Night
--Joy To The World
--The Christmas Song (the Nat King Cole version)
--And I love tropical-themed Christmas songs for some reason, so I'm going to cheat and go with a tie here: Christmas Island (the Leon Redbone version from "Elf") and Mele Kalikimaka (the Bing Crosby/Andrews Sisters version)

The only one I like is Sean Morey's DEAR SANTA

Nat King Cole's Merry Christmas

Hard category

I like Silent Night and Joy to the World (though if I had to pick between this Christmas song and Three Dog Night's version, I could not decide)

The Christmas Song, Sleigh Ride, and Rocking Around the Christmas Tree are on my list too. Silver Bells also.

But my favorite, though a bit goofy, is probably Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer for some reason. I just like it and it is really fun to sing.
