yeah! I like the original "A Very Special Christmas" album. The best on there is the U2 song, though.

So many to choose from.

The entire Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack is a perennial fav. I'm with Flippyshark, I choke up at Xmas time is here, every single time.

I love the sentimental fav White Christmas with the one and only Bing and I do have a fondness for the Chipmunks, as well. I run the gamut from silly to sacred, no Xmas in my house would be complete without King's College Choir and the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols.

Then there is Santa Baby. :cool:

I'm another who has always loved "Christmas Time is Here". It's an absolutely beautiful song.

I'm also a bit of a traditionalist however and would have call a tie between that song and the original version of "The Christmas Song" by Mel Torme. (Chestnuts roasting on an open fire...)

At the moment, the Xmas song most firmly lodged into my head is Riu Riu Chiu.

This version by Sammy Davis JR and Carmen McRae is my fav!

I also like Julie London's cover of I'd Like You For Christmas.

Just recently I uploaded Ella Fitzgerald's Christmas album to my iPod.

A couple of other oddball holiday tunes:

Child's Christmas In Wales, John Cale's musical take on Dylan Thomas.

Elton John performing White Christmas at the Hammersmith Odeon, December 1974

That song by Kate Bush is pretty nice. I like the way it flows.

Is it just me, or does she sound a bit like Yoko Ono? ;)

Click here to hear my new favorite Xmas song. Keep listening, it's full of surprises.

Holy cripes! Who was that?!

I am not amused...
