Pick your 5 favorite Christmas songs

All I Want for Christmas is You by Vince Vance & the Valiants

O Holy Night by Martina McBride
Grown-Up Christmas List by Kelly Clarkson
Let There Be Peace on Earth by Vince Gill (and his daughter...can't remember her name)
Do You Hear What I Hear by Whitney Houston

and have to add Luciano Pavarotti's Adeste Fideles, and any traditional rendition of Carol of the Bells
 
These are awesome! I have a lot of the country ones, but this gives me some to add to my list.

I wish itunes had a wishlist button.
 
I just went looking through all our CD's to find some of my Christmas CD's so I can load them into my iTunes and of course the two I'm looking for I can't find - Mariah Carey's Christmas CD and a CD of a bunch of kids Christmas songs that a friend made for my kids last year (I know it had I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas which my kids LOVE!). My house isn't that big so I can't imagine where they've run off to! I did happen to find my N'Sync & 98 Degrees Christmas CD's though lol! Most of my Christmas music is misc. songs I've collected here and there...mostly from the free MP3 songs Amazon has had in the past.

Here are a couple I can think of-
Baby It's Cold Outside by Zooey Deschanel & Leon Redbone (the version from the movie Elf)
White Christmas by Jason Castro

Hallelujah He is Born by Sawyer Brown

Mary Did You Know sung by one of my favorite Branson performers, Dominic Haygood -- the video is a fan video and doesn't capture how he makes you *feel* this song. I can't imagine it being Christmas without hearing him sing this. And I have to wait until New Year's!

Carol of the Bells by Straight No Chaser. Actually, anything by them. Amazing holiday music.

Little Drummer Boy by Jars of Clay

Merry Christmas Darling by the Carpenters

I forgot about Mary Did You Know!!! I LOVE Kathy Mattea's version.
 
O Holy Night (pretty much any version, though Josh Groban's is a favorite. It's harder to find as it's only available on his Live in Concert CD. I heard one version the other night that was truly repulsive. Thankfully I can't recall who did it.)

Lullaby by Eclipse

Both holiday albums by Straight No Chaser, any holiday album by The Blenders. (We're big fans of a capella groups.)

SheDaisy/Rascal Flatts Twist of the Magi. Warped sense of humor required.

Mistletoe by Colbie Caillat

Right now you can get Joy Williams' holiday CD free through NoiseTrade. Either pass the info to five friends or pay what you think is fair for the music. It's good stuff too. I ♥ Joy Williams.
 
I was looking through my library's selection of holiday music this morning and found a couple of Christmas CD's to add to my hold list -

Noel - Josh Groban
Joy to the World - Faith Hill
Winter Song - Sarah MacLachlan
My Kind of Christmas - Christina Aguilera
Merry Christmas - Mariah Carey
It's Christmas - Mandisa
Elf - movie soundtrack
Polar Express - movie soundtrack
 
All Alone on Christmas by Darlene Love
Christmas All Over Again by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers

*I'm Getting Nuttin for Christmas is good to play for the kids when they're cutting up. LOL

I second the rec for Josh Groban's O Holy Night (anything that man sings is fabulous though)
Harry Connick Jr's album When My Heart Finds Christma
soundtrack to The Preacher's Wife

Sleigh Ride & Frosty the Snowman by the Ronettes are both upbeat and kind of fun

And what about the Chipmunks? LOL...I still have their old Christmas LP somewhere in a box under the bed.
 
Breath of Heaven by Amy Grant
White Christmas by Bing Crosby
Gloria by Michael W. Smith
Christmas is Coming ...Miss Piggy from the tv special with John Denver and the Muppets (childhood favorite!)
Do You Hear What I Hear by Martina McBride

...I can only pick five? :(
 
I like:

Rockin' around the christmas tree
Driving home from Christmas
Santa Baby
Blue Christmas (Elvis)
Last Christmas (Wham)

Not sure who sings them though, apart form the last two.

And just for fun (not with kids around, and not if you are easily offended): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjQgBFe_Pw0

I'm a classic Christmas song lover. I love the songs I grew up with.

Merry Christmas Darling by the Carpenters
White Christmas by Bing Crosby
The Christmas Song by Nat King Cole
I'll be Home for Christmas by Bing Crosby
Christmastime is Here (the one from Peanuts)
 
My Grown-Up Christmas List - Kelly Clarkson's version
Opera of the Bells - Destiny's Child (basically Carol of the Bells done a capella)
I Believe in Father Christmas - Greg Lake
A Wonderful Christmas Time - Paul McCartney
Christmas Wrapping - The Waitresses

I also love the entire "December" album by George Winston for a little "quiet" time.

I can't find this My Grown-Up Christmas List by Kelly Clarkson. I keep looking on itunes & can't find it.
 
It's not available for purchase, Vanessa. It was a bonus track (extra disc) included with the American Idol Christmas CD from season 2 or 3. It's a great version of the song too, I wish they'd make it available.

That said, Michael Bublé has a lovely version of it on his Let It Snow! EP. That one is available. :thumbup:
