This is a tough one- I love them all! I choose Sleigh Ride. It's such an upbeat, happy tune.

[linanglab]

Not a traditional one - but "One King" by Point of Grace....

Traditionally....I love them ALL!!

[Hedy]

Santa Baby-secular
Adeste Fideles-religious.

[marcymajor]

i'm not sure if this is the correct name but "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire" sung by Nat King Cole. this song to me embodies the mood and feelings of the christmas holiday. maybe it is called The Christmas song.

[toystoryduo]

White Christmas by Bing Crosby

[memanana]

love them all but Silent Night is my favorite

[saffymom]

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

[piglet-for-me]

I'll be home for Christmas.

My girls can play it and sing, and it is so nice to hear them together.

[bajam]

Oh Holy Night

[PartiesByCatharine]

I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause! ~ I always thought this song was silly :D

[gpp2001]

I'll be home for Christmas - my dad died in December many years ago and that was the one song that was in my head during the holiday season after he died. And it always reminds me of him.

Karn

[disneymomma]

Silent Night always makes me teary-eyed.

[leelee9878]

Not sure of the title either.. chestnuts roasting on an open fire by Nat King Cole

[Magical JenK]

Hmmm...so many to choose from...
I'll Be Home for Christmas

[JillyFish]

Wow....so hard!!! I LOVE Christmas music!

I guess my all-time favorite would have to be Joy To The World.

[PSL1013]

I like the un-traditional song "The Singing Dogs"! It all started many years ago when my BIL had a little too much "eggnog" one Christmas Eve and started singing this song, it was hysterical, we even have it on video..such memories! They also play this every holiday on the radio station I listen to, I love it! :rotfl:

[tweety129s]

I love to hear my kids sing Frosty the Snowman!

[dparra]

[mindyd2006]

My Favorite Christmas Song is The Grinch I love hearing my Kids sing it and I collect Grinch things I just think he is adorable!

[Soccer Princess]

I LOVE Christmas music!!! My fave would have to be O Holy Night.

[joiev98]

My very favourite Christmas song is also "O Holy Night". When I was a growing up, there was an older gentleman who always sang this song for the choir on Christmas Eve. His voice gave me chills. It was so beautiful. Whenever I think of Christmas, I think of this song and how his singing it always made me teary eyed, even as a younger girl. *sigh*

[Arky]

I love Joy to the World.

[Tiggerific711]

I always loved "Oh Come All Ye Faithful" as a child, I don't know why.
Now my favorite song Christmas song is "Carol of the Bells", it really puts me in the Christmas spirit when I hear it. :christmas:

[fourfoxesinpa]

Oh I just :love:

"Holly Jolly Christmas" by Burl Ives

What other kids' song tells everyone to "have a cup of cheer?" :trink4:

It's such a happy, fun song and always gets turned up full blast in the car for lots of singing!

My favorite traditional carol is "Angels from the Realms of Glory" which was always sung at Christmas Eve services.

[mirandag819]

My favorite Christmas song is on a Disney Christmas CD from when I was a kid. It is Jolly Old Saint Nicholas with a little touch of Disney in it.

Jolly old Saint Nicholas,
Lean your ear this way,
Don't you tell a single soul,
What I'm going to say.

Christmas Eve is coming soon,
Now you dear old man.
Whisper what you'll bring to me,
Tell me if you can.

Donald wants a pair of skates,
Minnie wants a seld,
Goofy wants an undershirt,
Yellow blue and red.

Now I think I'll leave to you what to bring the rest,
Choose for me dear Santa Claus,
You will know what's best.

This is how I always thought Jolly Old St. Nicholas was sung, so any time I hear other version I don't like them much.

[barbaraapple]

"Silent Night" it is my all time favorite :love:

[chipndale]

Silent Night - but I really love them all. My kids watched Rudolph last night!

[pbhall13]

[Sunni]

So good.

[iluvamystery89]

carol of the bells by trans siberian orchestra featuring metallica...AWESOME! i always despised singing that song in choir, but i love listening to this version of it now!

[mollyeilis]

It's a tie.

All I Want For Christmas as sung (ONLY) by the young actress/singer in Love Actually (in the special features on the DVD I learned that she was SO good and so perfect that they had to de-perfect it in post-production, b/c no one would have believed that a 12 year old had such a good voice). I also only like it IN that movie.

And Little Drummer Boy as sung (ONLY) by David Bowie and Bing Crosby.

[MKCP84]

Hark the Herald Angels Sing. Love it when they sing it at the end of A Charlie Brown Christmas. Also love the Manheim Steamroller version.

[jo93]

My favorite Christmas song is, Mary Did You Know. It is awesome!

[jo93]

My favorite Christmas song is, Mary Did You Know. It is awesome!!:sunshine:

[pattip03]

I love ALL Christmas music, but if I had to choose just one....
it would be Silent Night. :angel:

[Hope]

I've always loved the Chipmunks' "Christmas Don't Be Late (The Chipmunk Song)" but ever since my boyfriend proposed, I've had a soft spot for "White Christmas" since it's the song that was playing in the background when he proposed to me at Disneyland last year. :love:

[hjohnson6]

White Christmas by Bing Crosby

[arob414]

I love, love, love, Christmas music, all kinds but probably the one that really gets to me is "I want to see Christmas thru your eyes" by Gloria Estafan, supposedly written for her son.:heart:

[DarcyDog]

I truly do love them all but I have a few that are special.

"The Little Drummer Boy" - Was my mom's favorite and always makes me cry.

"O Holy Night" - Just a beautiful song that takes my breath away.

Any song from "John Denver and the Muppets - A Christmas Together."

[mmm611]

No question, "Snoopy's Christmas" by the Royal Guardsmen. Nobody else will have heard of it, and I only know it because my dad has it on 45. Finding it on CD was killer.

LOL, I think I might win most obscure Chrsitmas song!

[marcymajor]

i am going to date myself but i have heard of this song as it was popular in the 60's when i was a teenager (i'm 55 years old) and it is a very cute song.:rotfl:

[DarcyDog]

No question, "Snoopy's Christmas" by the Royal Guardsmen. Nobody else will have heard of it, and I only know it because my dad has it on 45. Finding it on CD was killer.

Guess I'm dating myself too, but I love this song. It's on my iPod and always part of my Christmas! Great choice!

[tink1212]

Oh Holy Night
