So, what's your favorite holiday tune?

I've got mp3s of two of 'em up on my server at the moment

A Christmas Message from Danny Elfman

Tom Lehrer's Christmas Carol

without a doubt Blue Christmas - Elvis (and ONLY the ELVIS version, thank you very much)

The Nutcracker Suite. I also like Mannheim Steamroller's version of 'Little Drummer boy'.

Stan4dSteph · 11-29-2005, 05:32 PM

I've got a few:

Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) - U2 version - it's the boys!
Stille Nacht - auf Deutsch!
Gabriel's Message - I love how the song tells the story. Very cool.
Joy to the World - best with a huge choir and orchestra. This one makes my soul happy.
Heat Miser/Snow Miser

- swingin'
Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas - Coldplay version - this is the ultimate wistful, melancholic Christmas song

My favorite is "Christmas Time is Here" from a Charlie Brown Christmas. Such a haunting, beautiful melody.

I cannot think in terms of one song, I'm afraid

The entire soundtrack to A Charlie Brown Xmas. A timeless classic if there ever was one!

Xmas albums by:
Ella Fitzgerald
Elvis
Nat King Cole
Luciano Pavarotti
Frank Sinatra
The Chipmunks (the original)
Joan Sutherland (once you've heard her sing the 12 Days of Xmas, you'll never go back)

I love the Nutcracker (Dorati/Concertgebouw version on Philips is my favorite)
Bleeding chunks of the Messiah
and the Festival of Carols with the Cambridge Choir

All of these get me in the mood.

There are more, these come to immediate mind

I love old school Barry Manilow Christmas songs.

Shhh, don't tell anyone!

I *HATE* that song!! That's the kind of song I would play if I was the ATF outside of a David Koresh's Waco Wackoland type barricade situation.
