What is your favorite holiday song / music?

My favorite kind of holiday music is the traditional songs mostly. I like to hear them played on the dulcimer especially. And the old artists from the 50's or 60's, can't think of any of their names right now, though. But I don't like them played by anybody like Mariah Carey or anything like that, and I don't like played in a county music style either. Blah.

My favorite holiday song is "Do you hear what I hear?" by Bing Crosby. Unfortunately, I seldom hear it and I can't find it on CD.

I don't know. I like Christmas songs pretty well (in general), and I like the Dreidel Song.

I really like "Silver Bells" but "Silent Night" musters up many happy and vividly warm memories of my childhood Christmases surrounded by loved ones.

None, I actually sort of hate holiday music, as it is force fed down your throat at every turn this time of year...forget all that "jingle bells, jingle bells" junk.

My favorite song for the holiday is Winterland and Here Comes Santa Clause.

"Silent Night" and "The Little Drummer Boy".

I really like Silver bells by Rosemary Clooney, But Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas is a close second.

I like things like "God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman", "the Holly and the Ivy" and "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" type of 19th century type of caroling songs. I'm not into contemporary or even 40 and 50s tunes.

Johnny Mathis' Christmas albums. My sisters and I love them. I don't think our spouses have the same passion.

I'm not Christian, but I'm very partial to "Go Tell It on the Mountain!" as a holiday song. I also have moments when "Grandma Got Runned Over by a Reindeer" seems very, very seasonal.

That is easy: The dogs barking Jingle Bells...runner up goes to the Adam Sandler...the Hannakuh song...and Grandma got run over by a reindeer.

In our family, it is not Christmas unless you listen to Johnny Mathis' Christmas album, which has been updated to the CD. My sisters and I can sing off key but with much enthusiasm to every song. I love it. Sleigh bells ring, are you listen.....
