Another Fan Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Well in response to the other thread but there's probably more songs I hear this time of year I don't like versus like. This song was nice though. I heard it some years back shopping at Boscov's. Have never heard on the radio since though: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackFergy Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I always had a soft spot in my heart for “Wonderful Christmas Time” by McCartney. Paul McCartney is probably my most favorite musician of all time. That said ... while I don't hate the song, per se, it is WAY over produced and overly corny. I can see why people don't like it.

Buffalo_Gal Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I have a ton I love ... White Christmas, A Marshmallow World, Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree ... But, if I could sing like anyone, it would be Karen Carpenter, so Merry Christmas, Darling I'd rate as my "favorite"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Burl Ives and Holly Jolly Christmas is #1. It’s a family thing. But I worked with a guy who was so moved by Oh Holy Night almost any version still gets to me 25 years later. 2 hours ago, RaoulDuke79 said: Little Drummer Boy Another very fine choice!

My favorite traditional x-mas song is still Bing Crosby's "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas" Favorite Rock n Roll Christmas song has always been "Run Rudolph Run" by Chuck Berry.

I liked Lennon's "Happy X-mas (War Is Over)" more. Both fit their style of music perfectly and why they made some of the best music ever when they collaborated.

ChevyVanMiller Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 (edited) Lots of great answers given already, but if you ever find yourself heartbroken on Christmas this song by Joni Mitchell is a true masterpiece. I dare you to watch this one and not laugh out loud and feel a little bit better about humanity when it's over.
