Favorite Christmas song ?

Anonymous — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 19:41:33 GMT

Ahh, nothing like a little Christmas music to get into the holiday spirit... What are your favorite Christmas songs? As difficult as it is to narrow it down, mine would be a toss-up between "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas" and "Silver Bells"

O Holy Night, which was my late grandmother's favorite and always makes me think of her with particular poignancy, as many childhood Christmases were spent visiting her and my grandfather.

"Angels we have heard on high" is one of my favorites. I love that looooong "O". I also like "Silver Bells". And when I'm in the mood, "Grandma got run over by a reindeer" is good for a chuckle.

I recall some years back some radio DJ got fired for playing "Grandma got run over by a reindeer" over and over and over...

My favorite Christmas songs are Silent Night and O Little Town of Bethlehem.

I hope Alvin and The Chipmunks never recorded "Grandma got run over by a reindeer" because I think that song with those voices would be the ultimate holiday musical nightmare.

+100

O Holy Night, especially by a strong, deep male singer sends shivers down my spine when they hit "Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices! O night divine, O night when Christ was born!"

I really can get choked up on that song.

Wow!, okay mine are:

Angels we have heard on high
Silent night
O Little Town of Bethelem
Do you see what I see
Away in a Manger
I'll be home for Christmas
Joy to the World
What Child is this
Winter Wonderland
White Christmas
Hark the Herald Angels Sing
O Holy Night
Deck the halls

I love the Christmas season. I wish more people would be more out going and get more involved spiritually into it as before.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Cory

My wife and I thought of this one as we watched the snow out our windows this morning:

Oh the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

One advantage of owning a condo instead of a detached house is the HOA pays somebody else to plow and shovel. We attended church yesterday so this AM we could stay inside with no guilt. We are going to a friend's party in a few minutes; the snow has stopped and the plows have some so we'll have no problem.
