What's your favorite Christmas song?

The Pentatonix version of "Silent Night" is the most beautiful rendition of a Christmas song I have ever heard - period. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sme8N2pzRx8

Carol of the Bells.

Anything from John Denver and the Muppets. Esp., Where the River Meets the Sea.

Like PP, I also love the "fall on your knees" of O Holy Night (and the whole song).

Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" IS the ultimate Christmas song.

Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" is happy and perky.

Agree, O Holy Night. Was watching Michael Crawford sing it last night and got teary-eyed.

The Messiah

Oh, and it's not Christmas, but Adam Sandler's Hanukah song!

But, if you want a name, Josh Groban - Noel

This is beautiful, but he never hits the realllllly high note, and I'm always waiting for it and I'm always kinda holding my breath because his voice is still amazing, but I'm always disappointed.

Mariah Carey - I think it's called "All I Want for Christmas is You"

Do They Know It's Christmastime (it's a horrible message, but I like how the song sounds)

Little Drummer Boy

Dan Fogelberg - Same Old Lang Syne? (I think of it as the grocery store Christmas song)

Listening to the Dan Fogelberg other day and made me cry...although i never thought of it as a Christmas song...brought back nostalgic feelings of old flames and years gone by.....

Also love the Mariah Carey even though I don't love her.
Love Do they Know it's Christmas. I was in college then. Memories....

Also want to add the "Little Drummer Boy" duet sung by Bing Crosby and David Bowie in the 70's

Also ....so this is Christmas by John Lennon

You mean the 1984 song by Band Aid? That was just "Do They Know It's Christmas?" (not Christmastime)

Jingle Bells - Sammy Davis Jr. So jazzy and fun!
Wonderful Christmastime - Paul McCartney. It puts me in the spirit and reminds me of the big holiday party my family always had that sadly doesn't take place anymore.
Little Drummer Boy - Harry Simeone Chorale. Absolute favorite version, I get all weepy during it.
Someday at Christmas - Stevie Wonder. Love this one, the line "maybe not in time for you and me" gives me a case of the feels.
