Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, decking the halls with holly and ivy, writing a list for Santa baby, wishing glad tidings and dreaming of figgy pudding... there is much to recommend the season. And of course, the festivities wouldn't be complete without music. So, what's your favourite festive song? Anything goes - it could be a carol, a pop song or a traditional folk song, maybe a seasonal nod from your favourite death metal group (!) - as long as it puts the sparkle into your christmas spirit. And if it's a really odd one, a little story why would be nice.
Me? Equal tie (hey, OP privilege!) between 'Winter Wonderland' for a gentle croon, and 'Santa Claus is coming to town' for a knees-up.
(I was going to make this a poll, but there's just too many choices!) |

I'm one of those freaks who loves Christmas music. I have too many favorites to mention them.
I'm not a Mariah Carey fan at all, but like this one sung by the girl who did it in the movie "Love Actually". (Maybe we need a thread for holiday movies!)

I've just recently found out that this girl is the one who does the voice of Marceline in the cartoon Adventure Time: http://adventuretime.wikia.com/wiki/Olivia_Olson |

I'm quite in love with this geek-ish piece of sh... errr... contemporary music. That's the common song (children, youth, adults and ex-singers) of my choir's Christmas concert. "Everyone knows it, and it's a profecy".
A surrealist Christmas poem. Nice for a cynic like me.

@Cougar: I can't make it clear enough that I don't like her. I like Olivia Olson, and am a big fan of the movie Love Actually. |

No contest has to be "Silent Night" one I have not heard for years "I saw three ships".
Cougar is still not wearing her Christmas collar. |

The Boney M Christmas album. Bizarre, but my mom used to play it almost every day in December so it brings back all sorts of good childhood memories. |

Once upon a time I received the Boney M Christmas Album as a Present and it was one of the most traumatic events in my rather uncomplicated life. You see my Brother and Sister who were five years older than me (Yes Evil Twins) got cool stuff but I got this. My Parents didn’t want me to feel left out but didn’t know what else to buy me. I remember hiding it in shame as I didn’t want my friends to know that I owned this piece of Crap!
So before logging into the Forum this evening I was in the garage fixing (okay trying to fix) my Wood Splitter and yup this is what I was listening to on CD:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5JF6Kq0Ins
I listen to this year round and really wish I still had it on Vinyl as it was in Mint Condition…. |

Seem to recall that Silent Night was voted the UK's favourite carol a few years ago - be interesting to see if that was still the case.
@Fo - for some reason I hated Three Ships when I was little. These days I love it. Christmas collar? I'll wear mine when you wear yours. |

My favorite hasn't changed since I posted it a couple of years ago: Greg Lake's anti-carol I Believe in Father Christmas.

I get strange looks in malls and department stores when I smile as it plays over the sound system. |

I love that!
Personal favorite-"I Saw Three Ships". I heard Maddy Prior sing it and got all teary eyed.
I can sing counter tenor so "little Drummer Boy" is what I usually end up getting assigned. |

Mariah Carey floats my boat, much to the despair of Mrs C, but IMHO all Christmas music sucks, apart from the Phil Spector Christmas Album from 1963, with classics like "Frosty the Snowman" and "Sleigh Ride" by the Ronettes which will have you going "ringalingalinga dingdongding" for days if not years.
Yes he's busy being a murderer these days, but listen to it anyway if you get the chance. One of the best albums ever produced, complete with the legendary Wall of Sound.

I'm a Christmas music lover in general.
Except for Christmas Shoes. I can't stand that one. Or any remake of Santa Baby (I love the original Earth Kitt version)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFMyF9fDKzE
After the "Hands down" above, I had to erase that memory by listening to Jewel's "Hands" which does not once mention Christmas, but is on her Christmas album, presumably because it represents the spirit of the season without the sappy melodrama of Christmas shoes. (warning: religious song)

Interesting piece in the news this morning about how the old standards, no matter who they are re-done by, always do better than attempted "new" Christmas songs. Number one this year is the Mariah Carey hit " All I want for Christmas is You" released in 1994! That doesn't even account for the Bing (Crosby) stuff. Now how many remember Justice Beaver's Christmas song from a couple short years ago? |
