Favourite Christmas Song(s)

[Diego Varen]

Since Christmas Day is approaching, I've decided to post a Poll on favourite Christmas songs, traditional or not. Here is the list:

 

Happy Christmas (War Is Over)

Wonderful Christmastime

Do They Know It's Christmas

Step Into Christmas

Merry Christmas Everybody

Silent Night

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

Deck The Halls

We Wish You A Merry Christmas

Other

 

My favourites are all of the songs in the polls, including Do They Know It's Christmas (Original, not the new one), Fairytale Of New York and more. Basically, I like every Christmas song. Vote for your favourite(s).

 

Merry Christmas everyone.

[Achilles]

I choose "other" since there wasn't a "I don't care for holiday music" option.

[Det. Bart Lasiter]

I have yet to find House/Techno/Jpop Christmas music so I selected "Other" in case I eventually do find it and it doesn't suck.

[Inyri]

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen has always been one of my favorites. There are some really great arrangements of it out there.

[CSI]

All of them. Frankly, I love all songs. So, Merry Christmas, too.

[MachineCult]

I voted other for "Let it snow". Great addition to the Die Hard soundtrack.

[Pho3nix]

Jingle Bell Rock of course.

 

Immortalized in Home Alone.

[Bob Lion54]

My vote, based on the options, is Silent Night. Especially as sung by Aaron Neville. He has a great Christmas album.

 

I'm also quite fond of his version of Let it Snow and Louisiana Christmas Day. Its odd, though. After listening to his version of Christmas songs, with his unique singing style, I can't really get into anyone else singing them. They just sound too plain.

 

Now, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra has a great album too. Carol of Bells and A Mad Russian's Christmas are done great, as well as everything else on the album but those are by far my favorites.

 

Another song I like, but unfortunately haven't heard a really great recording of, is We Three Kings. The closest good version is one sung by Sammy Kershaw. His voice is great in the song, but then he has some weird "Barber Shop" singers come in that ruin it.

 

Of course, who can forget Feliz Navidad?

 

I want to wish you a Merry Christmas

I want to wish you a Merry Christmas

I want to wish you a Merry Christmas

From the bottom of my heart!

 

Happy Holidays Everyone!

I like the good old fansioned christmas p***-take song. Like "Proper Crimbo" or "Christmas my arse".

[Darth Trylan]

I like do they know its christmas but theres another one called holy s**t its xmas which is a comedy one! Or Walking in a Chelsea Wonderland which is one i wrote about Chelsea FC based on walking in a winter wonderland. If anyone want to hear it i can send it to them

[mimartin]

You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch by Thurl Ravenscroft

or

I'll Be Home For Christmas

[Dark_Lady]

I'd probably have to go with either Feliz Navidad or a comedy one. Other than that, I don't much like holiday music. I spend a lot of time on the holidays drumming my fingers on the desk waiting for the day my favorite radio stations start playing normal songs again.

[Jeff]

I'm a fan of Wonderful Christmastime, but I like the holiday music in general.

[The Doctor]

Hey Santa. Bowser & Blue for the win.

 

As for my favourite real Christmas song, that would have to be O Little Town of Bethlehem, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen (the Manheim Steamroller version is good, too), Hark! The Herald Angels Sing!, and Silent Night.

[Emperor Devon]

I'm also quite fond of his version of Let it Snow

 

Same here. You should add that one to the one, Potts.

 

Merry Christmas in advance, everyone! (Since there probably won't be anyone online tomorrow.)

[Hayden Kered]

I've always liked White Christmas. Most of the other songs are too common to me.

[SithRevan]

I am more into Christmas songs sung by well know alternative rock or rock bands. So I selected Deck The Halls, We Wish You A Merry Christmas, and Other. Merry Xmas guys!

[Sabretooth]

Whatever happened to "Jingle Bells"?

[Rabish Bini]

Deck the halls pwnz.

Meryy Christmas everyone!

[Anakin Skywalker]

I'll be Home for Christmas; Silent Night; The Twelve Days of Christmas; Bring a Torch Janette Isabella; O Come, O Come, Emmanuel; O Come all ye Faithful; What Child is this; Jingle Bells; Santa Clause is Coming to town; and Up on the Housetop....... I just like Christmas period, and I love Christmas time's songs.... just in case you haven't figured that out.... lol..... but these are just my top 10 songs, in no particular order

[Jae Onasi]

Favorite 'traditional' songs: O Come, O Come Emmanuel and O Holy Night, and the Hallelujah Chorus from the Messiah.

Favorite 'newer' songs: Mannheim Steamroller's Christmas songs, Steve Green's Christmas songs, Bing Crosby's White Christmas (no one does it better than he did), and Michael W. Smith's 'Emmanuel', 'Ring Christmas Bells', and 'Gloria'

And just for fun, Little Saint Nick, especially the Muppet version--too funny!
