Favorite Christmas Carol(s) or Songs

[eleanorigby]

The Holly and the Ivy: mostly because it's so old and has overlays of paganism. I like my Christmas to be a bit pagan.

White Christmas: duh. But only Bing can sing it. Sinatra's version is not my cup of tea.

The duet that Bing Crosby and David Bowie did (can't think of name)

In the Deep Midwinter: I have an instrumental version that is a marvel.

O Little Town of Bethlehem: fav as child. I tended to like melancholy songs.

Joy to the World: well, I do contain multitudes!

Ole Saint Nick (hohoho, who wouldn't know...)

Let It Snow: because I love snow.

Walking in a Winter Wonderland: good tune, easy to dance to. What's not to like?



I can't think of any more off the top of my head. As much as I like Xmas music, I do not listen to those radio stations who only play Xmas songs, starting right after Thanksgiving. Way to ruin a good thing, IMO.

What are your favorite Christmas songs?
