OT - What is your favorite...
...Christmas song?
Yep - no questions about guns that some may be nervous to answer in this very public forum!
Seriously though - I was ripping some Christmas music today for my wife, and decided that my very favorite Christmas song of all time is "O Holy Night". Bing Crosby's version to be exact. When the refrain starts, and he sings "...fall on your knees", I get a chill each and every time. Probably because the only one I'll ever "fall on my knees" for is my Lord who died for me. Just a powerful song in my book and I love it.

For me any Christmas song sung by Johnny Mathis.
I also really like “There's A New Kid In Town” by George Strait.

Re: OT - What is your favorite...
Carol of the Bells. I think I have 9 variants in 6 genres. This one may be my favorite:
Or maybe this variant of Gaudete Gaudete (turn it up. the allelujah's are quiet)
But then, my Christmas Playlist is up to 7GB... (1095 songs, 54 albums... and growing. I'm still ripping my old LPs...)

Off the record, I have always been fond of Jingle Bells sung by Burl Ives. On the record, I sold all my favorite Christmas songs long ago and dont have anymore.

Re: OT - What is your favorite...
Yep...O Holy night. Kathy Matea's "Mary did you know" and the oft played "Breath of Heaven" do not leave a dry eye in the house either.

Re: OT - What is your favorite...
I'm with you Cash. Kathy Matea sings "Mary Did You Know" better than any one I've heard do it. I've heard Kenny Rogers do it and I've even heard Mark Lowery do it and he wrote it. No body does it better than Kathy.

It was actually Holly Jolly Christams by Burl Ives I was thinking of and not Jingle bells. Like Rihmfire, it reminds me of when I was a kid. It has always been my favorite.
Re: OT - What is your favorite...
Come on Steveb....you know your favorite Christmas song is "Why am I such a misfit?" (private joke between me and Steve) Hint: Bumbles Bounce!

Re: OT - What is your favorite...
Too many to list...
+1 on Bing's "O Holy Night"
+1 on Johnny Mathis, especially "Chestnuts..."
I really love them all, from "The Littlest Angel" to "Little Drummer Boy", to "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" and "I'll Be Home For Christmas", to "Do You Hear What I Hear" and "Coventry Carol". I also like some of the more modern songs, like the one done by Sting on the first "A Very Special Christmas" album and the entire album of Amy Grant, her first one, which includes "Tennessee Christmas" and "Emmanuel". I'm with OI on this one -- we must have 60-80 Christmas albums. This year is the year I digitize them.

Re: OT - What is your favorite...
If you know me, you will not be surprised to know that I lean heavily to the Classical side of the house. Handel's "Hallelujah Chorus" is the center piece of any musical presentation, IMO......LeRoy Anderson's "Sleigh Ride", Alfred Reed's "Russian Christmas Music" is stunning. Humperdink's "Prayer and Dream Sequence" is wonderfully emotional. And on and on. Almost forgot "Ave Maria".........Plus, all the traditional ones: I just like them instrumental and not vocal.
