Favorite Christmas Song

What's everyone's favorite Christmas song? Mine is "Go Tell It On The Mountain". I realize it's early for Christmas but I'll get my music together early for the holiday.

My favorite for all time is Blue christmas by the late Elvis Presley!

Silver Bells, by anyone, but especially the Anne Murray version.
Larkie

White Christmas, Bing Crosby version

Burl Ives-all of them! Silver and Gold!
Away In a Manger!
Grandma got run over by a reindeer-hehee
*I guess my all time favorite(right this minute)is.....
I saw mommy kissing santa claus underneath the misiltoe last night!
I have tonz of favorites...LOL....Rudolph!
I luv the Grinch too! =]

*hanging xmaz lights today!

If I really had to choose just one, let me see,I guess 'Oh Holy Night'.

Let me add one more but I can't find the music for it..The beginning is something about "There's something stuck up in the chimney..."

Even though we don't recognize Christmas as Christ's birthday (long story; e-mail me if you're curious ;0), we do use the holiday time to appreciate the blessings of family and friends. Having said that, my three favorites (can't have just one, LOL) are Oh Holy Night, White Christmas, and the entire Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack.

Have to say "O Holy Night" . DH and I got married a few days after Christmas and we put that song in our wedding cause I love it so much.

Oh why did you have to ask. I am a whistler. MY wife and I can be in Walmart shopping and she will punch me and say quit whistling your getting on everyones nerve's. I'll quit and a minute later I am back at it again. I do the same at work and in the house watching t.v. it just something that I can't help. I do it all the time. Now the Christmas song that I'll be whistling
way past Easter is

CHRISTMAS TIME IS COMING
by Sammy Kershaw

Holly's in the window
Home is where the wind blows
I can't walk for runnin'
'Cause Christmas time is coming'

Can you hear them bell's ringin' ringin'
joy,joy hear them singing
When it's snowing I'll be going
Back to my country home

Christmas times a comin'
Chrisrmas times a comin'
Christmas times a comin'
And I know I'm going home

White candles burnin'
My old hearts a yearnin'
For the folks at home when
Chrisrtmas times a comin'

Snowflakes are fallin'
Lonely hearts are callin'
Tall pines are hummin'
'Cause Christmas time's a comin'

I just received a message from sweet thing
she says shut up the whistling. It sounds so pretty to me. LOL
Another favorite of mine is a Johnny Cash song "THE WEAVER" A real tear jerker. He talks all the song so I guess it's not a song but a story. I wait until Christmas is almost over to play it. Don't want to get depressed. Also SLEDDER, my wife and I love 'GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN.' especially the rendition by Mahalia Jackson.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU FROM MR. AND MRS. GRC AND ALL THE KIDS AND GRANDKIDS. THE WHOLE GEORGIA RED CLAY GANG.

"Percy the puny pointtsetta" is my current favorite! it is on the same album as Grandm got run over by a reindeer.

Silent Night, especially in my native German - Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht...

Same as Tink

ELVIS "Blue Christmas"

jingle bell rock!

Same as Cindy, "Silent Night". It has been a favorite of so many people all over world for a very long time.

Silent Night and White Christmas - they both make me cry!!

Silent night for me too.

Rockin Round the Christmas Tree by Brenda Lee! And Whose Child is This (sung to Greensleeves tune)

Lomgfellows poem set to music-I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day

"I'll Be Home For Christmas" because everyone should be "if only in your dreams"

kikisdad, your right "I'll Be Home for Christmas". Hopefully everyone will be home for Christmas!!!!!

Oh! Yes, definitely "I'll Be Home for Christmas". Okay I have four vying for first place :)

How about Nat King Cole and 'CHESTNUTS ROASTING ON AN OPEN FIRE.' An alltime favorite.

i love all the songs. my all time favorite is "go tell it on the mountain" i can't find that anywhere. i have all the songs but that one. can't remember the name of the singer either. can someone help me out with a name of an album it is on or the name of the singer please.

I'll be Home For Christmas'

okay ruby,,I love the chipmunks too. I'm a hummer,,no not the bird..but I hum all the time. And since I'm an alto singer I harmonize my humming. It drives my daughter crazy because I'll hum louder than the radio. lol farmgirl, "Go Tell It On The Mountain" is an old spiritual song. Do you need the sheet music? or just the song? I love all these songs..Silent Night at candle light services at church. I'm generally playing either the piano or the organ for it. It sends chills up my spine..but the spiritual warmth is overwhelming. Isn't it great what music can do. "T" :)

Farmgirl The person I remember singing it was Mahalia Jackson. I don't know if I have it or not. I know I did at one time.I'll check and see for you.

Silent Night, O Holy Night and anything Johnny Mathis sings.

i have the chipmunks album and elvis and bing and the funny one with grandma got run over and nat king cole and and and i love them all i know all the words to go tell it on the mountian but with my voice the music is a must lol. i think i sing good and so does my granddaughter but everyone else has a different opinion. i think they are wrong but that is just me.:)

I really like silver bells (probably my fav), and all the jazzy ones before Christmas. I also really like the one Alabama does, "Thistlehair the Christmas bear", and Dolly Parton does a neat one "I believe in Santa Clause". But starting Chistmas Eve and throughout Christmas Day, I prefer to hear the more religious ones like Silent Night, What Child is this, It came upon a midnight clear, etc.

Mahalia Jackson's version of "Go Tell It On the Mountain" is definitely the best in my opinion. It is on several of the albums of her songs as well as on a lot of the different collections albums.

Oh Holy Night is my favorite.

Mine is "All Through the Night", then Mahalia's christmas album ... and Tennessee Ernie Ford's...

I'd love to know if anyone has a copy of "Sister Mary Had but One Child".

I will also have to add'Do You Hear What I Hear' and 'The First Noel'.

STOP! Ya'll done made me cry...(wiping tears). I always cry when I first hear the Christmas Carols...or The Star Spangled Banner...and John Phillip Sousa...and...

I think my favorite is "What Child is This?", followed by "Little Drummer Boy". Love all of them! Jo

Our CD player has those little casette things you can load up with 5 or 6 CDs and put it on "random play" (yeah, this was before CDs came out with those huge "juke box" features that will hold 100+ CDs at once.) But I like this, because I have one filled with my favorite Christmas CDs:

Charlie Brown's Christmas
Harry Connick, Jr.
Mariah Carey
Vince Gill
Nutcracker Ballet soundtrack
and something else...can't think of the name, but it's a children's choir of traditional carols.

I love to put it in when we're decorating the tree, making cookies or having friends over. Okay - honestly? It plays pretty much 24/7 from Thanksgiving until Christmas :)

Anyone else enjoy the harp? I purchased a 4 cd set last year of various Christmas music. The album with only the harp is the only one that gets played year round. It's beautiful.

Just listing those that haven't been mentioned already Kenny G's, Michael Bolton, Alabama, Celine Dion

Silent Night, and The Little Drummer Boy, also Handel's Messiah is beautiful.
