Your Favorite Holiday Songs

[Anesa]

I love this time of year for so many reasons, but one reason in particular is the beautiful holiday music.  What are some of your favorites?  I'll start with one of mine:



Faith Hill - Little Drummer Boy

[olive]

This is my favorite holiday song because my best friend's mother (who was like a mother to me) once got snockered with me before the Turkey was ready. We nearly made ourselves piss, laughing and trying to hit the high notes. My best friend was not amused because we left all the work to her in the kitchen. (We had our holiday cheer.)

Now at the holidays, my friend and I both laugh about this when we hear this song. Her mother passed away from cancer just a few years ago. I'm thankful to have this bittersweet memory. This one is for Sue:

Celine Dion-Oh Holy night

[bandit]

I swear I'm not being a smartass when I post this, but it really is my favorite christmas song.

Christmas Time in Hell

[Story Tale]

Margaret Whiting and Johnny Mercer - Baby Its Cold Outside

Best non con holiday song. Ever.

[Anesa]

...and of course, it wouldn't be right if I didn't post my man Jon Bon Jovi singing a holiday song..   


Jon Bon Jovi - Please come home for Christmas

[bandit]

I take that back...THIS is my favorite holiday song.

The Vandals - Oi! To The World

[Mordred]

Ohhh.. a thread like this.. like I don't already got enough of an 'itch' to keep attacking certain threads..
Toooooo many fav's here.. and this one isn't my absolute fav, but loved it from my mom's records when I was a little squirt... (assuming my mad thoughts of being a small human in the 70's.. is real )..

Tony Bennett - My Favorite Things

[Anesa]

This song makes me think about my childhood at Christmas time.  After we'd help our mom put up the tree, I would crawl underneath and just lay there looking up through the branches at all the lights and tinsel and garland.  *Sighs*  It was a magical place to me.  :)

christmas was a friend of mine, fay lovsky

Fay Lovsky Lyrics

" Christmas Was A Friend Of Mine "

Every year lasted too long, with Easter bunnies, birthday cards,
And seaside outings in the summer, only to break the long
Gap of time that stretched between the one and the other
Christmas

Christmas in the sixties was fine
With candles, goodies, presents, and wine
'Peace on Earth' was real, it seemed
And LOVE a word as yet not obscene, no no

Watching the season parade
Dying trees, and neon spars, and plastic Santas
For a penny urging to celebrate, ding dong ding dong
Here comes another, christmas

Christmas was a jolly old time
With Billy Smart's and Auld Lang Syne
'Peace on Earth' was real, it seemed
And LOVE a word as yet not obscene, no, no

Christmas tree smell and those silvery bells
Christmas was a friend of mine

Aaaaaahhhhhhh ..
Pa pa pam pam paadam, pa pa pam pam paadam

Christmas was a friend, o'mine
Merry-, merry-, merry-, merry-, merry Christmas
Everybody

All around the world, christ-mas-time - and
Everybody have a good time coming in top to me yeah
Christmas time is here again
Been around since you-know-when
Happy New Year Happy New Year
I hope that everyone all have a happy New Year

Sting - Gabriel's Message


Sting & Police - Gabriel's Message

The Angel Gabriel from Heaven came
His wings as drifted snow
His eyes as flame
"All Hail!" said he, "thou lowly maiden Mary,"
"Most Highly Favoured Lady,"
Gloria!

"For know a Blessed Mother thou shalt be,
All generations laud and honour thee
Thy Son shall be Immanuel, by seers foretold
Most highly favoured Lady,"
Gloria!

Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her head;
"To me, be as it pleaseth God," she said.
"My soul shall laud and magnify His holy Name"
Most highly favoured Lady!
Gloria!

Of her Immanuel, the Christ was born,
In Bethlehem, all on a Christmas morn.
And everyone throughout the world will ever say,
"Most highly favoured lady!"
Gloria!
