Christmas songs
Come on then, what are your favourite Christmas songs or Xmas #1's?
They don't have to be songs about Xmas, they can just be hit songs that were around at Christmas time. |
Not sure how you spell his name but ona Louie, Cant stop the calvery

My favorite Christmas song is O Holy Night.
My least favorite is that arrogant, self-righteous, manipulative "Christmas Shoes." |

I think it's by a group called New Song. The voice of the song is singing about last minute shopping and this kid coming into a shoe store to buy shoes for his dying mommy so she can be "beautiful" when she meets Jesus. And he doesn't have enough money, so the guy comes to the rescue and buys the shoes. It's like saying, "Am I great or what? I bought the kid the shoes! Yea me!"
Okay, this is supposed to be a Christian band--so why are they not telling the kid that Jesus is supposed to love everyone no matter what they look like; that theologically speaking, your clothes don't make it to heaven? Jesus isn't as shallow as the person who wrote that song. |
i dont think i would like it then
|
I just got a cd called 'redneck christmas' or something to that effect and love the song '12 days to christmas' -- it's hilarious.
As real xmas songs, I can never get enough of Kenny G and Peanuts Christmas :) |
I like the song U2 did.
I think Jon also covered it for one of the A very Special christmas concerts, but I don't remember the name of the song. |

Fairytale of Newyork is my fave except it gets overplayed every year!!! |
Thank God it's Christmas by Queen and Winter Wonderland, I also like that one by The Carpenters.. can't remember the name now.
My least favourite is that one by Paul McCartney.. that just gets on my nerves! |
Best...mmm hard Drivin home for christmas
Worst its got to be anything by Cliff Richard...he just brings out the same sappy sh*t* every bluming christmas! In my opinion someone shoukld shove mistletoe and wine right where the sun dont shine!...or shoud that be holly for greater effect?! ;) |
The Chipmunks Christmas song...best ever!
Other than the Chipmunks, O Holy Night is my favourite Christmas song. Martina McBride's version is very nice. Steph |

To me the song is not arrogant or self-righteous, it is more like, disturbing/depressing. This would be one of the last songs I'd like to hear during Christmas because it makes me want to slit my wrists. |
I dont have any particular fave and at the mo i've heard every xmas song too much already
|
In a word: They suck!
I'm not a big fan of Christmas songs at all. They do my nut in. I can't Paul McCartney going "Simply havin' a wonderful Christmas time" over and over again. Also I hate that song that just goes "Ding a ling a ling la ling" over and over again!! :mad: Having said that there is perhaps one that I actually like which is Run Run Rudolph by Chuck Berry I think. |
My favorite traditional Christmas song is Carol of the Bells. I also love the Manheim Steamroller version of Silent Night.
I love Last Christmas, Christmas Baby (Please Come Home), All I Want For Christmas is You, Rockin Around the Christmas Tree.... It's just really hard to get into the Christmas cheer right now since I still need to keep the air conditioner on because it's so freakin' hot out! |
It's not Christmas until I've heard Wham!'s 'Last Christmas' for a bicillion times. Tacky and cheesy, but I sooooo like it. :)

Other then that i love to play most of Abba songs during christmas... even they are not christmas songs... but i love it..... ACtually i love most of chrsitmas songs... and even Maria Carry christmas songs :embrassed: |
I like The Darkness - Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End), and the Bon Jovi ones are nice aswell.
|
I easily get sick of the Slade, Wham, Wizzard type songs. I can get on with The Pogues' Fairy Tale in New York and Greg Lake's I Believe in Father Christmas. I tried to convince my girlfriend that Pearl Jam's Let Me Sleep (It's Christmas Time) was how all chirstmas songs should be... but she was having none of that.

Sometimes the landscape can be rather beautiful due to the snow, but that's just 7 days per year or so. |
I'm quite a sucker for christmas songs actually.
It's no christmas without Chris Rea ofcourse - I kinda like 'Christmas was a friend of mine' by Fay Lovski. Most recent fav: 'Lonely without you (this christmas)' by Mick Jagger and Joss Stone. Short song, but nice. |
'ITS CHRISSSSTMAAAS'! well i never i thought it was easter! Where would we be without old chestnuts like that one! ;)
I actually like the Wham one for some strange reason...maybe it makes a nice change to all the happy clappy songs! Anyone seen that absolutely dire Santa Sings Christmas album! Just when you thought it couldnt get worse the most tone deaf sounding santa you ever heard practically hohohos his way through all your old favs and Im sure I heard Amarillo in the line up! What the hell has that to do with christmas! I hate all old crooners making a few bucks outta rehashing cheesy christmas songs too! I.E Tony Christie. Come up with some f**king new ones and save our sanity! |

I'd be happy if I could wear a jacket outside too...instead of a jacket, boots, hat, gloves, and a scarf. Just a few inches of snow and the mercury slightly below zero, I would be happy. But this is what I get for living in Canada.

Yesterday I started my Christmas music time :D
My favourites are God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen by Sarah McLachlan & The Barenaked Ladies, O Holy Night by Tracy Chapman, Three Ships by Sting. Joy to the World sung by almost anyone. So This Is Christmas by John Lennon. Jingle Bells Rock too. I guess there are more, but can't think of them right now. |
My favourite Christmas Carol is O Holy Night.
And I will admit it, my favourite Christmas album is Merry Christmas by Mariah Carey! If there is a time when it's not just about rock 'n' roll and cheesy songs are much more accepted, then Christmas is it. ;) |
