I love to go to church on Christmas Eve...or during the holiday service when the choir sings only Chrismas songs! These are my particular favorites:

- Hark the Herald Angels Sing
- Silent Night
- Away in a Manger
- Deck the Halls
- Joy to the World
- It Came Upon a Midnight Clear
- Oh Come All Ye Faithful
- We Three Kings
- Angels We Have Heard on High

I used to sing in the choir when I was a kid...stopped going to church at 12 and that was that (probably a relief to those that used to have to listen to me...I can't carry a tune). So when I do go to one of these holiday services, I make sure to sing very softly, almost to myself...

Some of my other favorite, more secular holiday songs:

- Father Christmas - The Kinks
- River - Joni Mitchell
- Santa Claus And His Old Lady - Cheech & Chong (not really a song, but...)
- Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire - Nat King Cole
- Jingle Bell Rock (the one by Hall & Oates)
- Rudolf The Red-Nosed Reindeer
- Santa Baby
- Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
- White Christmas
- Over The River And Through The Woods
- Let it Snow
- Sleigh Ride
- Winter Wonderland
- Mr Grinch ;-)
- O Christmas Tree
- Jingle Bells
- Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
- I'll Be Home For Christmas
- I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
- It Came Upon A Midnight Clear
- It's Beginning To Look Like Christmas
- It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
and my newest fav:
- Sled Zeppelin - Bob Rivers

Instrumentals:
- Nutcracker Suite
- Charlie Brown The Christmas Song

Ok...off to church, cross your fingers that lightning won't strike it, it just got a new steeple, and the temps WERE in the 50s today ;-)

I love Carol of the Bells - without any words.

Merry Christmas!

I love Christmas music religious or not. At Christmas time I always wish I was religious because I love to sing Christmas carols! Oh well... guess that's the sacrifice you make!

Great song list. My absolute favorite is O Holy Night (prefer the Josh Groban version over others) and Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring (like Josh's version of this as well). I also like Pachabels Canon and the Transiberian Orchestras version of this called Christmas Canon I believe.

And of course Bing singing any Christmas song makes it a favorite.

Merry Christmas, hope you have a wonderful day today.

Thanks Sweetie! My favorits are "O Holy Night" and "We Need A Little Christmas" but I don't think there are any I don't like. Well, maybe "Rudolph", he annoys me just a bit..

I love almost all Christmas songs. Classic and modern. I think it's because I love Christmas.

My favorite Christmas song is "Lo How A Rose Ere Blooming"! I love that one and the Christmas Canon by Trans- Siberian Orchestra! I do love all the Christmas music! I wish the season for just the Christmas music was longer.
