  10. 4-way tie, depending on my mood:

    NSYNC - "Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays"
    Jose Feliciano - "Feliz Navidad"
    Mariah Carey - "All I Want For Christmas Is You"
    Percy Faith - "We Need a Little Christmas"

    I like my Christmas songs upbeat :)

  11. 1.Mariah Carey: All I want for Xmas is Yuuuuuuu!
    2. Nat King Cole: Merry Christmas to you.
    3. Sleigh Ride
    I love all the Xmas songs and sing them all through the season to the point of other people around me ask me to give it a rest. I'm one of those annoyingly happy perky positive people. Most of the time. " Our cheeks are niiice and ROsy and COMfy cozy are weeeeeee! We're snuggled UP TOgether like TWO birds of a feather are weeeee!" Probably not the right lyrics, but that makes it more fun anyways.

  12. Last Christmas by Wham and What
    Child Is This
    Oh and the theme from Christmas Vacation for fun!

    ReplyDelete
  13. It Came Upon A Midnight Clear. We used to watch Little Women (the old one) around Christmas time. They sang the song in it. I made a point to learn it as a kid.

  19. Traditional - O Holy Night.

    Contemporary - hard to pick just one, so I'll offer up 2000 Miles by The Pretenders and I Believe in Christmas by Greg Lake. (Or is it, I Believe in Father Christmas?)

  21. Fairytale of New York - The Pogues

  22. I can tell you my least favorite--the new rendition of "baby it's cold outside" by Colbie Caillat and Gavin Degraw. Their voices don't mesh well...kinda like nails on a chalkboard. Unfortunately, it appears they're knocking boots, so we'll have to endure more of this in the future.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Tie:
    John Berry's version of O Holy Night
    Whitney Houston's Do you hear what I hear

    ReplyDelete
  24. I love Carol of the Bells too. While I enjoy the contemporary Christmas music (White Christmas, Let it Snow, All I need for Christmas is You) I really love the old carols like Joy to the World, O Little Town of Bethlehem, etc. Brings back my childhood, especially being in Christmas pageants in Catholic school. Good times.

    ReplyDelete
  25. And is it just me, or is Gavin DeGraw really skeezy? He comes across so fake and disingenuous to me. Can't believe she dumped her boyfriend for him. But I digress... ;)

    ReplyDelete
  26. I'm partial to "Merry Christmas, Darling" by the Carpenters.

    ReplyDelete
  27. The entire Elvis Presley Christmas album.

    And O Holy Night.

    I am also in love with Silent Night because my son wants me to sing it to him virtually every night when he goes to sleep. It's our lullaby.

    ReplyDelete
  28. "Last Christmas" by Wham! *L* Must be with the video though, it is deliciously cheesy and awesome. I am a lifelong choir geek and a general holiday enthusiast, so I kind of love all Christmas songs. And also, Adam Sandler's Hannukah song. I am an equal opportunity nerd.

  30. Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses!!!!!

    RIP, Patty Donahue

    What song is she talking about? The punky one that goes...

    Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
    But I think I'll miss this one this year.
    Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
    But I think I'll miss this one this year.
    Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
    But I think I'll miss this one this year.

    That one. You now have the song in your head all day. You're welcome.

  45. "Wonderful Christmastime" by Paul McCartney and Wings and "The Wassailing Song" by Blur are my favorites. They remind me of Christmas in the UK.

    Also love "Merry Xmas Everybody" and "Christmas Wrapping!"

  46. I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Beach Boys "Little Saint Nick!"

    I still have my Mom's old Christmas records and bring them out every year. My favorite one is an all-orchestral one (Andre Kostelantz(sp?).

    And the Vince Guaraldi "Charlie Brown Christmas" is timeless...it's usually on repeat.

  62. The whole New Kids on the Block Christmas album OBVIOUSLY.

    Also, Mariah, the Phil Spector album, Fairytale of New York, Hark! The Herald Angel, Once in Royal David's City, O Little Town of Bethlehem. I also really like Lindsay Lohan's version of Jingle Bell Rock (I know, I know).

    ReplyDelete
  65. Carol of the Bells

    ReplyDelete
  66. Kenny Rogers and Wynonna Judd - Mary, did you know?
    I heard it last year for the first time, and as corny as it sounds, the lyrics made me think of what a beautiful story the birth of Christ is. I’m not religious at all, so that was kind of a "moment" for me. Doesn't need to be a true story to be enjoyed. It's just beautiful.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Last Christmas is definitely my favorite. If you've ever worked retail during Chriatmas, you learn a lot of pop golden fried cheese Xmas tunes, but that obe I can listen to all year round!

    ReplyDelete
  68. Seriously? It's a tossup between "I Saw Daddy Kissing Santa Claus" and Gilda Radner's "I want an Alligator for Christmas".

    ReplyDelete
