Topic: Favorite Christmas Songs/Carols

[SirBlaziken]

Well, it's that time of the year and most people have at least one they love (or hate the least). Personally, my favorite is The Carol of the Bells by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. What's your favorite?

[The Shrub Dragon]

los campesinos - a doe to a deer

[Richard and Blaziken]

I work in a grocery store that plays Christmas music literally non-stop from mid-November to mid-January. As a result of 6 years of this, I hate Christmas music.

Shakin' Stevens- Merry Christmas Everyone

This just has everything you want from a Christmas song.

[Lord Raven]

Does New Years Day by U2 count?

What about My December by Linkin Park?

[Kerou 犠牲]

Cliff Richard's version of Walking In The Air

[Pam-the-Lamb]

 Slade - Merry Christmas Everybody

 We did it in our Christmas concert in year 6 and ever since, it has given me a sense of nostalgia. I remember the teacher telling my friend - at the time - to run on stage and scream "it's Christmas". Hmm.

cutting pink with knives - merry ******* christmas, you spineless ****

[Milsap]

Slade - Merry Christmas Everybody

The absolute most annoying one of the lot. Even worse that Noddy Holder (the singer from Slade) is a Walsall lad so all of the local media's up his back passage between the end of November and Christmas.


I think the only one I could listen to all the time is Fairytale of New York.

They're playing Christmas songs ad nausem from in November now. Why? Start from about December 15th. That's more appropriate. "Oh, stop being such a Scrooge!" No. I won't. I know what time of year it is, I don't need to be reminded every five seconds. It's like dancing at a wedding: I participate because I feel I have to.

Is it the regular cheesy christmas carols like Frosty the Snowman and Rocking Around the Christmas Tree? If so, I honestly wouldn't blame you, I get enough of those in a month.

[Richard and Blaziken]

Yeah, in addition to crap like Santa Baby, Jingle Bells, Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas, etc. I get the bonus of 6 equally terrible versions sung by different people as well.

[E.C.A.M.B.S.]

Winter Wonderland, probably (does it count?) I think Christmas music is annoying in general (maybe because I feel that it's nearly as mainstream as love songs), but winter wonderland is less about christmas than it is about winter beauty, so it's not so bad.

OH!  To all of you complaining about bland Christmas music, here's a piece called Russian Christmas Music by Alfred Reed.  I played it my senior year of high school and it is still as beautiful as I remember it five years ago.

New York Christmas - Rob Thomas
Fool's Holiday - All Time Low
Step Into Christmas - Elton John

i actually like a lot of Christmas songs?? But mostly non-classics or ones that never get played on mainstream radio stations.

really the only like 'classic' Christmas song I can listen to over and over is the Barenaked Ladies cover of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. mmmm
