I'm on Christmas Carol overload, but I never get tired of listening to Nat King Cole's version of 'The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting...)' or 'O Holy Night'.
Any favorites???

That came on while Holden and I were decorating the tree this morning and of course, it swept me in...crying in a matter of seconds..dumb shoes...
Though that really isn't a carol, is it.
I like Winter Wonderland.
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
Jingle Bell Rock- Bobbie Helms
Rockin around the Christmas Tree- Brenda Lee
Happy X-MAS/War is over- John Lennon
Something about Christmas Time- Bryan Adams
As for Classic Carols:
Sleight Ride
Winter Wonderland
Silver Bells
White Christmas
Jingle Bells
Have yourself a Merry little Christmas
"What a stupid lamb."
"What a sick, masochistic lion."
I don't even know you anymore!!!
(that said, i have no idea what song you're talking about!)
and therefore that is my favorite...unless you count "what's this" from Nightmare before Christmas.
I don't mind "ejinglie Bells" too much. (sorry but that was a 3 Caballeros reference...sigh, I am a dork)
And though it's not really a X-Mas carol, I'm a big fan of the Kinks "Father X-Mas."

The risk I took was calculated, but man, am I bad at math - The Mincing Mockingbird
See post #8 for competition.
i love so many of the christmas songs/carols. most of my faves have been mentioned:
-rockin around the christmas tree (brenda lee)
-happy christmas/war is over (john lennon)
-bing/bowie's drummer boy
there are so many more...
i love adeste fidelis and the first noel, especially when at church!
they let you in church?! :eek:
(someone pm me and let me know what song tracey is referring to...i don't have a clue)
I used to love that song, but one line annoys me from it - I think it's a line by Bono singing "Thank God it's them instead of you"
I mean are we really thanking God that they're starving and not us while singing a song to raise money for them?
That line just always bothered me. The rest of the song is great though.

kevinbeetle: "Yes. When her career washes up and her and Gavin move to Galveston, you will meet her at Hot Topic shopping for a Japanese cheerleader outfit.
Next!"
I love that part of the song just because it's so...bono
here, i'll bring everyone down and post the lyrics...it's actually called christmas shoes and it's so freaking sad:
It was almost Christmas time
There I stood in another line
Trying to buy that last gift or two
I'm really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me
Was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing around like little boys do
And in his hands he held
A pair of shoes
And his clothes were worn and old
He was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say
Sir I wanna buy these shoes for my Momma please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry Sir?
Daddy says there's not much time
You see, she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes will make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful
If Momma meets Jesus, tonight.
They counted pennies for what seem like years
And cashier says son there's not enough here
He searches is pockets franticly
And he turned and he looked at me
And he said Momma made Christmas good at our house
Most years she just did without
Tell me Sir
What am I gonna do?
Some how I’ve got to buy her these Christmas shoes
So I layed the money down
I just had to help him out
And I'll never forget
The look on his face
When he said Momma's gonna look so great.
Sir I wanna buy these shoes, for my Momma please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry Sir?
Daddy says there's not much time
You see, she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes will make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful,
If Momma meets Jesus tonight.
I knew I caught a glimpse of heavens love as he thanked me and ran out.
I know that God had sent that little boy to remind me
What Christmas is all about
Sir I wanna buy these shoes for my Momma please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry Sir?
Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes will make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful
If Momma meets Jesus tonight
I want her to look beautiful
If Momma meets Jesus tonight

ohhh boy......
that joke was worse than trix and nic's song!!!
alright maybe not that bad, but close.
PS: the writer and performer of the song Alan Mann is no longer with us as he was killed in a fire in his house in Philly a few years later. very sad.
It is a sappy Christmas song about this little boy that wants to buy a pair of shoes for his mom that is sick but he doesn't have enough money. He knows she will love them and wants her to look beautiful if she meets Jesus tonite as Dad says she doesn't have much time.....:(
It is so over the top....but damn...it gets me everytime.
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
Isn't that sad?????
:(
You should hear the sappy guy singing it.
And then a chorus of little children, probably all from an orphanage and with little crutches and wheelchairs....:(
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
River - Joni Mitchell
And my favorite:
Merry Christmas From The Family - Robert Earl Keen
...
Mom got drunk and Dad got drunk at our Christmas party.
We were drinkin' champagne punch and homemade eggnog.
Little sister brought her new boyfriend... He was a Mexican.
We didn't know what to think of him until he sang Feliz Navidad.
Brother Ken brought his kids with him - the three from his first wife Lynn,
and the two identical twins from his second wife Mary Nell.
Of course he brought his new wife, Kay- who talks all about AA,
chain smokin' while the stereo plays Noel, Noel, the First Noel.
Carve the turkey, turn the ballgame on.
Mix margaritas when the eggnog's gone.
Send somebody to the Quik Pak store,
we need some icing and extension cords,
a can of bean dip and some Diet Rite,
a box of tampons and some more Burl Ives.
Halleluia everybody say cheese,
Merry Christmas from the Family.
Fran and Rita drove from Harlogen. I can't remember how I'm kin to them.
But when they tried to plug their motor home in, they blew our Christmas lights.
Cousin David knew just what went wrong, so we all waited out on our front lawn.
He threw the breaker and the lights came on and we sang Silent Night, oh Silent Night.
Carve the turkey, turn the ballgame on
Make bloody marys cause we all want one.
Send somebody to the Stop 'N Go,
we need some celery and a can of fake snow,
a bag of lemons and some Diet Sprite,
a box of tampons and some Salem Lights.
Halleluia everybody say cheese,
Merry Christmas from the Family.
Feliz Navidad...
Hail, Hail!!!
