Christmas Music! (Post your favorites here)

Gaudete, Gaudete Christus est natus, ex Maria virgine gaudete!

My all-time favourite, second only to Fairytale of New York.

I grew up on Christmas music...we had a few music books full of the stuff, and I'd play it all the time on the Wurlitzer, regardless of what time of year it was.

It Came Upon a Midnight Clear, Hark the Herald Angels Sing, O Little Town of Bethlehem, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, We Three Kings, O Come All Ye Faithful, O Holy Night, Away in a Manger, The First Noel...
What Child is This, even though I associate it more as Greensleeves.
It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, Let it Snow, Silver Bells, Sleigh Ride, White Christmas, Winter Wonderland...

Some of my favorite albums are probably:
4 Seasons' Greetings
Christmas with the Everly Brothers and the Boystown Choir
Brian Wilson - What I Really Want for Christmas
The Jethro Tull Christmas Album


Smokey Robinson and the Miracles - A Season for Miracles
I don't know for sure if that's James Jamerson on this album, but just listen to that bass B)


The Jackson 5 Christmas Album
Probably not Jamerson on bass, but it still cooks B)

Misc. songs:

Ronnie James Dio, Tony Iommi, Rudy Sarzo, Simon Wright - God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
The album this song is from is just okay.


Elton John Band - Step Into Christmas


Eagles - Please Come Home for Christmas
Charles Brown cover

Yeah, I think so. I had to check it, and it does sound familiar.

My favorite Christmas song and has been for years! Jingle Bell Rock, I always listen to it once the holidays roll around!

I normally save this for Christmas Eve but I couldn't resist.

O Holy Night - King's College Choir, Cambridge 2009

Oh, I forgot about this album. I was listening to it last year, it's pretty good.

I only really know this from the Beavis and Butthead Christmas special (California Raisins didn't make it over here) but I like it.

I didn't know that was on Beavis & Butthead, but it's from Will Vinton's Claymation Christmas Celebration =)
We've got it on tape somewhere, I always liked it a lot.

This is obviously a satire of a certain type of Christmas song as well as the commercialisation of the season, but I actually get a fairly genuine Christmas buzz off it because someone had lent me the Monty Python CD around Christmas time one year in my early teens, so it takes me back.

Warning: contains (fake) breasts and some fairly weak comedy.

The whole album is fun!

The Kings College Choir ones are good. I like this one:
