Mary Did You Know? by Kenny Rogers and I can't remember the girls name...and Silent Night by Mannheim Steamroller...I can hardly listen to either of them without tearing up...

I've always liked "The Little Drummer Boy" sang by anyone.

Here is a link that might be useful: Here it is by Celtic Woman

Oh Holy Night

Silent Night used to be my favorite, but now I like Charles Brown's Please Come Home For Christmas

Although Weird Al's Christmas at Ground Zero is great too for a fun time.

Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas Is You is right up there too. I like a lot of different ones.

I was thinking about it earlier today that this year we didn't get bombarded with Christmas music in all the stores like usual. Of course there was some, and most of it was tasteful and mixed in with other music. So it made it more desirable to hear more and I'll probably be playing some overnight. Just listened to Charles Brown... great song.

MARY DID YOU KNOW

Silent Night

Sue

Silent Night by anyone-even me!

Another "Mary Did You Know" right here, too. That
song just makes it Christmas for me. I don't even
care who sings it.

Do You Hear What I Hear? by anyone, I love that song. Another is Mary's Boy Child.

The Christmas Shoes ... It's about a boy buying shoes for his dying mom.

Mary Did You Know

Almost any Christmas instrumental.

Mary Did You Know, either by Kenny Rogers & Wynonna ... or by Josh Groban.

And I think Carrie Underwood sang O,Holy Night during her TV special a week or two ago, and it was just OUTSTANDING. I'd love to have that version.

Oh! I also love ... just about any Christmas song by Aaron Neville, but especiall the fun one: Oh, What a Night.

While on the computer I like to play a couple of favorites:
Carol Of The Bells
It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year (Andy Williams)

I like to think the peke enjoys it too.

Silent Night--especially when sung by children.

Another Oh Holy Night fan here. I think it is a beautiful song.

Silver Bells has been my favorite for many, many years ever since I spent a Christmas in NY.

"I Wondered as I Wandered Out Under the Sky." I find the lyrics haunting and the melody beautiful.

1- Mary Did You Know - any artist, but my favorite is Kathy Mattea. Have not heard Josh Groban's version, I'll have to hunt that one up (thanks Stoney!)

2- Silent Night by Mannheim Steamroller. Just beautiful!

3- Carol of the Bells by William Joseph

Many, many, many!

One that I love that I don't hear very often is the Candlelight Carol (by John Rutter). It is beautiful. We used to sing it in choir.

Verse 1: How do you capture the wind on the water? How do you count all the stars in the sky? How can you measure the love of a mother, or how can you write down a baby's first cry?

REFRAIN: Candlelight, angel light, firelight and starglow shine on his cradle till breaking of dawn. Gloria, Gloria in excelsis deo! Angels are singing; the Christ Child is born.

Verse 2. Shepherds and wisemen will kneel and adore him, Seraphim round him their vigil will keep; Nations proclaim him their Lord and their Savior, but Mary will hold him and sing him to sleep. (REFRAIN)

Verse 3. Find him at Bethlehem laid in a manger: Christ our Redeemer asleep in the hay. Godhead incarnate and hope of salvation: A child with his mother that first Christmas Day. (REFRAIN)

I also love Mary Did You Know. And all the traditional songs like Silent Night, O Little Town of Bethlehem, Hark the Harold Angels Sing, Joy to the World... all the songs you sing in Church. Plus a lot of the fun ones, Up on the Rooftop, All I want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth, I saw Mama kissing Santa Claus, and so on and so on. I love Christmas music, particularly the traditional versions.

Another O Holy Night lover here and I love the Hallelujah chorus.

I am not a country music fan, but I love this video. May be because I honor our people in the Military Service

"Joy to the world", and I like "O holy night", as well.

"The Huron Carol", a hymn written by aboriginals, from a viewpoint of Christ being born in their mikieu.

Can I say a word for, "O come, O come emmanual", as well?

I hope that all of you to whom Christmas is important ... that each may have a wonderful, challenging and blessed Christmas.

ole joyful

"I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day" is a favorite, as is "What Child Is This?"

I like the Halleluja chorus, but the top registers require bigger voices than we usually hear; *shrill* sets my teeth on edge and makes my throat ache. Also, I associate "The Messiah" with Easter, not Christmas.

"I Saw Three Ships (Come Sailing In)" and "Good King Wenceslaus" are nice upbeat tempos in contrast to the more sober, quiet pieces.

"Little Drummer Boy"? Isn't that on the list of most-loathed songs? LOL It's on mine, but to each his/her own!

The Christmas Song (aka Chestnuts Roasing on the Open Fire)

Jodi-

Breath of Heaven (Mary's Song)

I love"Little Drummer Boy" and "Mary Did You Know" written and sung by Mark Lowry.

Sleigh Ride - Boston Pops

Wonderful Christmastime - Paul McCartney

Angels We Have Heard On High

Santa's Beard - Beach Boys

Auld Lang Syne - Beach Boys
