Shabby & Veecee, we could ride in the car together, I like your tunes :)

My favorites are

Christmas Time Is Here (Rosemary Clooney)
Oh Come Emanuel (gives me the shivers)
Anything from Charlie Brown Christmas (the piano stuff)

Echodog - climb on in! I love your list too! I adore ANYTHING from Charlie Brown, and I think Rosemary Clooney had one of the best voices ever. 'Oh Come Emanuel' is hauntingly beautiful!
We're heading to Naples, FL in January - are you moving there? Niiiice place!

OHHHHHHH Christmas Music!!!!!!!! I'm dancing I'm dancing I LOVE Christmas music!!!!!!

My top 3 are:

White Christmas - Bing Crosby ONLY!!!!
ANYTHING by Manheim Steamroller - I love their stuff
Silent Night - sung slow and tender

I also enjoy "Baby It's Cold Outside" - "The Carol Of The Bells" - aw heck - just about anything!!!!!

DH and I went to Branson, MO last year for our vacation and got to see Andy Williams' Christmas Show live - that man is very spry for an old guy! Also enjoyed seeing the show at The Dixie Stampede & Dino Kartsonokis (sp?) who is a wonderful piano man.

I'LL ADMIT IT - this was NOT a fair question. How to pick FAVORITE Christmas songs? It's just not possible to narrow it down to less than 12! :D
Bing Crosby singing "White Christmas" - ahhhh, now we know what time of year it is. (DD and I watched "White Christmas" on DVD last Sunday, I'm ready now!)
BTW, luvmyhunny...you dance divinely, my dear. :D

"O Holy Night" by any artists

Tom Jones (growlie growlie.. man is he still tops in my book) "Baby it's cold outside"

and..

Faith Hills, "Where are your Christmas?"

I have a few others that I grew up with.. and I do adore the old Paddy O' Cinnamon Bear show that played on the radio.. what adventures he had!

Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses (I know, I know, but I just really like it!)

Holly Jolly Christmas - Burl Ives

Santa Baby - Eartha Kitt

Haven't started listening to Christmas tunes yet. Maybe tomorrow if I do some decorating.

I can almost guarantee that Vince Gill and Vanessa Willams be on the list ... maybe Aaron Neville too ... or Kathy Mattea, The Roches, James Taylor ... :p

I'll get back with ya.

Aawww, thanks DeeK, I will! She asked everyday since posting the thread what everyone answered. She is a sweetie!

I hadn't responded to this yet because it would be impossible for me to name just three. I love Christmas music. One of our local radio stations has been playing Christmas music since Nov. 1 if you can believe that.

Lots of people have named quite a few of my favorites. I love the old classic Christmas movies also.

Oh Duh! I G A Y is one I didn't think of!

I have a new favorite Christmas song (I told you my list was subject to change at any moment)! It's from Polar Express...When Christmas Comes to Town. It's just so sweet.

Charlie Brown Christmas just does it for me. It gets me in the right mood about Christmas & makes me remember what Christmas is all about. Before I watch Charlie Brown Christmas I'm usually all "I gotta do this & I gotta do that", from the time I watch Charlie Brown Christmas until the actual day on December 25th my whole attitude changes to "I hope I get to..." & if I don't get to it, hey, there is always next year. I'm so glad they put this on every year. :)

Silent Night
Hark! The herald angles sing
Do you hear what I hear

And I Love Charlie Brown too.

Oh I really like Silver Bells. Mama had a snowglobe music box that played that when I was little and it just fasinated me.

Since I was a kid Charlie Brown and the gang singing Hark the Herald Angels Sing around that poor but beautiful tree has always gotten to me and still at the age of 31. Such a wonderful message from little Linus.

1. Silent Night
2. O holy night
3. the Hallejuah Chorus
