I didn't, so I sabotaged it for her a couple of years back. Every time it'd come on, I'd sing:Last Christmas I gave you my heart And the very same day I passed away She can't listen to that song now without being horrified. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Least fav is probably Santa Baby or Blue Christmas This is now my favorite song because liberals are stupid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I have three favorite songs, all tied for #1. -Christmas Song- Nat King Cole -White Christmas- Bing -Baby Please Come Home- Darlene Love Keep the covers away, mildly militant about it. Favorite album is Charlie Brown Xmas/Vince Guaraldi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Mine have already been mentioned, but: All-time fav: Run Rudolph Run by Keef, wore out the 45 w/ Harder They Come back in the day. Traditional fav: Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire by NKC, could listen to this all day. Least fav: Wonderful #$%^ing Christmastime by Macca, gives me a bad attitude. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Favorite classic: Chestnuts - Nat King Cole White Christmas - Bing Baby It's Cold Outside - Louis Armstrong/Ella Fitzgerald Favorite modern: Please Come Home - Eagles Happy Christmas/War Is Over - Lennon/Ono Little Drummer Boy - Bing/Bowie Something About Christmastime - Bryan Adams I need to give the least favorites some thought. Nothing is popping out to me. As much as I love McCartney, I have to admit that his song is not very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) Even though I don't consider myself a practicing Christian these days, I find most of the traditional Christmas hymns enjoyable. Not a big fan of "pop" Christmas songs but a few have been good, like Springsteen's Santa Claus is Comin' to Town and U2's Baby Please Come Home. Edit: oh, and I can't believe I forgot to mention Mannheim Steamroller. Love listening to their stuff during the season.

There's a verson from a few years ago of Willie Nelson and Nora Jones that's been my favorite. I also forgot to mention Run Run Rudolph by Chuck Berry.

Rico Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I forgot my absolute worst, hadn’t heard it in years until last night in a store: Barbra Streisand - Jingle Bells.

eball Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 This week Howard Stern played several "depressing" Christmas songs and they were unbelievable. One about a kid asking Santa for shoes for his dying mom so she would be wearing them to meet Jesus, one about a homeless kid who dies in Santa's lap...like, what in the hell were these "artists" thinking?

Just Jack Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I'm more of a classics type listener, like Bing Crosby, etc. Johann Pachelbel - Canon in D Major (you may be more familiar with the Trans Siberian Orchestra version that added lyrics Enya - Silent Night, heard this on the radio, maybe late 1990's, called the station and they confirmed it was her. It was the early days of the internet, I had to search and finally found it on a CD in Australia. For something a little more modern...

The Poojer Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I'm in a really grinch mood this year and am trying to ignore christmas but that being said, this fits nicely into this category and the SNL category. Not sure why I liked the original so much, it's so basic and simple yet it cracks me up everytime I watch it...now add in that little hottie Ariana Grande and I am all in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
