By pk tanton 2005

Oh let it snow i need more woe
dashing to town with more hints i go
to fill all these wants
i need a credit card to make it all go
oh let it snow i need more woe
credit in red i am dead
Oh let it snow i need more woe !

Hmmm...I just bought a CD the other day because it had th song "My Favorite Things" on it. I love that song, and it's on very few Christmas CD's.

My Mom loved Little Drummer Boy, and I like that one because it brings back bittersweet memories of her.

Another favorite is Silver Bells, because it's so upbeat.

Actually, I can't think of one that I don't like. I love them all, and the reason for the season. :)

I like your little ditty, Tazzy. Very cute!

My favorites for Christmas:

We Three Kings
Go Tell It On The Mountain

Winter Holiday:

Carol Of The Bells

O Holy Night.... and Rockin Around The Christmas Tree.. (love Brenda Lee)

My first favorite is the Cheech and Chong Christmas song about Santa and the Reindeer and the "magic dust" that makes them fly.

My 2nd favorite is "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer."

Mine is Jeff Foxworthy's version of the 12 Days of Christmas... lol

All Through the Night http://wilstar.com/midi/allthroughthenight.htm
Sister Mary had but On Child (sorry, no link found for lyrics)

God rest ye merry gentlemen and What Child Is This have to be my two favorites.

Christmas ~ Angels We Have Heard On High, O Holy Night

Holiday ~ Linus & Lucy (Peanuts Christmas theme song)

Redneck ~ Santa Claus Is Comin' (In A Boogie Woogie Choo Choo Train)

Edit to correct the Redneck title ~ it's to the tune of Baby Likes To Rock It

I love them all but would have to choose 'I Heard the Bells On Christmas Day' and 'Do You Hear What I Hear' as my favorites...

Got to find them sound cute . ,keep them coming
I love every thing Foxworthy dose . i am a red neck fer sure

For seasonal... I don't know the name... actually this will prompt me to go find it... but it's the one where he's trying to convince her to stay longer.. it's so cute how they go back and forth ;)

Probably called something like "Baby, it's cold outside"... anyone know what the heck I'm talking about!? lol I feel a bit lost! haha

Sarah

Yes! Leon Redbone did it in "Elf", and I love that version. It's an old song and done many times before.

Thanks! Goin' there now....

That's the one on the radio ;) hehe, I guess if people want other versions, they can refer to my post! lol :)

Sarah

If anyone cares for 'a capella' performed by 4 young men, The Blenders are fantastic. A few songs can be heard here ~ http://www.singers.com/blenders.html "Nog" is my favorite Christmas CD of theirs.

Ooooh, that's nice! I love it! :) Thanks for the heads up! :)

Sarah

Edited to say: AH! I just saw they have an album called Loveland.. I LIVE in Loveland! haha :) I might have to have that one! :)

saw one on there i like( Santa Baby ) had forgot it till i saw it ;, love her voice and all her songs

" Baby it's cold outside" is also on one of Rod Strewart newer CD's the American Song Book Collection. It's Him and Dolly Parton of all people. It's really good though, I have the CD.

"O Holy Night" sung outside under the stars.....

Anything By the Chipmunk's or Harry Connick Jr.!!! LOL

Ruby- if you dmail me your email address, I'll send you an early Christmas present ;)

Sarah

The group Acapella came to my church this year and performed a few numbers. They were great! And so are the Blenders. Thanks for the info, Moby

I love Stevie Wonders Christmas Album. I am on my third copy of it! Got the first one in 1979. Some songs on it can really grab my heart.....like One Little Christmas Tree.

Silver Bells is a favorite

Away in the manger and Silent Night have a special place in my heart also.

I have a kind of fettish for "twisted Christmas" and Santa's Stuck up in the chimney song!

I have my stand by favorites, "Wilbur the Christmas Mouse", I'm Gettin Nuttin for Christmas....and of course....I want a Hippopatamus for Christmas! Yep, nuts just like me! LOL

I forgot to add Snoopy's Christmas! (the one where Snoopy and the Red Baron have a Christmas toast)

When I was a little girl, I had Snoopy's Christmas on an album. That was like...in the sixties. :) I wish I still had it, and the phonograph to play it on. You brought back some memories when you mentioned Snoopy and the Red Baron.

I used to have Alabama's Christmas cassette tape. I literally loved that tape to death. It quit working a couple Christmas's ago. LOL I still remember all the words to "Thistlehair, the Christmas bear". I may have to check ebay to see if someone is selling that tape. I'm not sure it's still sold in stores.

Joan, I think it is out on CD now, I think I have it! I will double check and let you know. Walmart & Target usually have the older Christmas releases every year, and decent prices.

Really? The Alabama one? I checked all the Christmas CD's at my Walmart the other day, and picked up a couple, but I didn't see the Alabama one. I don't have a Target very close. But, if it's out on CD, I should be able to find one online.

Silver Bells & White Christmas..

Hey Sarah can you really send me Harry? lol

"Percy the Puny Poinsettia" Just screams out to me, lol!

Percy, the puny poinsettia,
Hanging his bloom in dismay.
If they had just kept him wetter,
He'd be a houseplant today.
Folk like the other plants better,
Now he's alone on the shelf.
Even a plant with no uncle or aunt,
Shouldn't spend Christmas day by himself.

From the "Grandma got run over by a reindeer" CD.

oh i am makeing a list to get some more christmas music . Is there a safe place to buy on line with out getting my toes in wringer ?

"Oh Holy Night" is my favourite Christmas song, all in all.

And I just *love* John Denver's "Rocky Mountain Christmas". We had the record when I was a kid, and I loved it then, but as I got older I wouldn't listen to it because it wasn't "cool" enough. I have a greater appreciation for it now. I got a copy of the CD a couple of years ago--it's like an old friend. "Aspenglow" is just a gorgeous song!

Rhonda

Oh I forgot about Percy! My DH has that on an OLD record, his turntable still works...so we pull out the oldies for the kids.

I forgot about one of my favorite, I love Dean Martin and have his Christmas Cd. Sometimes I even listen to it in the summer! Just something about his voice is soothing from a childhood memory.

I am glad Joan that you found the Cd, I knew it was out there.
