Favorite Christmas song

jjirons69 · 12-08-2013, 09:13 PM

Now I love "White Christmas" by The Drifters and I love to sing along with it, but by far "O Holy Night" is my Christmas favorite. The version I love the most is by John Berry. I saw his video in the Christmas of 1996 when I was dealing with some very low and difficult times in my life. I was at rock bottom for a long spell and this one video viewing one late December afternoon nearly single-handedly started my turn-around. Silly, right? The song just struck a chord in me that day. I'm still moved today when I hear it. It really does add a special meaning to each of my Christmas holidays.

So what's yours? Maybe a little 'why', too.

Anything by Nat King Cole for sure.. Eddie Higgins trio and Dexter Gordon have made some great Christmas jazz albums.

Either of Red Sovine's Christmas songs. They are the most pathetically SAD bits of music ever, just can't take 'em seriously.

Little Drummer Boy.

Bob Seger version

Hands down my favorite is Trans Siberian Orchestra's version of Carol of the Bells. Number two is a tie between We Three Kings and Good King Wencelas.

T.G · 12-08-2013, 11:41 PM

Tough call.

Either "Christmas is Pain" by Roy Zimmerman
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKWh-nnyPIY

or "Santa Lost a Ho" by The Christmas Jug Band
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCg1I84VTaU

Runner up points for Ozzy though:

This is the best christmas song...

I am not a big holiday guy, family lives across the country. But this song makes me laugh and feel good.

Not to spoil the fun, and I haven't yet contributed anything to this thread, but I think some people are seriously missing the point of the OPs message.

EDIT: or not. Since he posted a silly song, too. Eh, forget this post is here........carry on.

Dave, it's a serious note if there's something to that point. I know a lot of folks may have never have a situation that creates feels I get when I hear "O Holy Night". That's cool. Life is funny like that.

And, yes, carry on...it's cool to know other's tastes.
