LOL! Both of those are in my top choices! I can't help but smile when I hear them! DH teases me that I love the hippo one so much, lol.
I also love that Little Drummer Boy duet with Bing Crosby and David Bowie (http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=_zMhSjDqvRs).
I don't know what it is about it...that it's quite possibly the most bizarre duet ever?? Or that the video is cheese city? And yet their voices really compliment each other and I just love it, lol.

I LOVE Bing Crosby. Love love.
Its so sad watching that because he looks so old.
DH doesn't understand why I like him so much but his voice is just so soothing.

I love love the piano! I love playing it and listening to it! So I always love listening to anything on the piano or anything played by the orchestra's! They always make me feel at peace and put a smile on my face!
Like these:
Love this version of Greensleeves (my all time fav song)

Also love The Nutcracker Suite. Ever since I seen it performed at Radio City Music Hall in NY many many moons ago, I fell in love.
Here is a piece from it:
The Nutcracker Suite: Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies (Tchaikovsky)

I love listening to Bing at Christmas. He was my Grandmother's favorite singer! Listening to him always reminds me of her :)

"The Spirit of Christmas" by Ray Charles makes me smile and makes me weepy at the same time....My youngest sister and her husband were told that the chances were very slim that they would ever have any biological children....So they became foster parents....Their third foster child was a beautiful baby girl who came to them when she was only 8 days old....After a couple of years, they new their wasn't any chance of Sharon returning to her Birth Mother and now the way was clear for them to adopt her....A good friend of theirs took tons of pictures of Sharon and burned them to a DVD with the music "The Spirit of Christmas" playing in the background as the pictures change....Whenever I hear this song I can't help but smile and feel abit weepy at the same time....
Oh and they also adopted two of Sharon's older sister's who were also in foster care....AND then my sister became pregnant with her son, Caden....They are one big happy family now in the process of adopting their teenage foster daughter....:thumbup:

We love that one too! Bette Midler does a great rendition of it if you like her.
I love JINGLE BELL ROCK and BELIEVE, sung by Josh Groban.

O Holy Night by Josh Groban
Mary Did You Know? by Kathy Mattea
Do You Hear What I Hear? by Whitney Houston
Adeste Fideles by Luciano Pavarotti
just about anything from Harry Connick Jr (love him!)
And for a giggle, there's always Jeff Foxworthy's Redneck 12 Days of Christmas.
And since I can't stop typing...I've still got my LP version of The Chipmunk Christmas, which for some odd reason has 3 RABBITS on the cover...but it's Alvin, Simon, Theodore, and Dave singing.
