What is your favorite holiday song?

My favorite holiday song is the dogs barking Jingle Bells. Honorable mentions go to Porky Pig doing Blue Christmas, the "12 Pains of Christmas", and Adam Sandler's "The Chanukah Song,"

Don't have one. I think they are sort of annoying actually.

I really don't have a favorite holiday song but favorite holiday music is by Manheim Steamroller. I think I spelled it right. It's the real instrumental and upbeat music ya hear only once in a blue moon.

"O Holy Night" (sung best by Mariah Carey :)

Probably the Band Aid song, or "Silent Night" by Bad Religion.

I think this country is going to turn to shit now that G.W. Bush is our president. And I know theres tons of people who don't agree with me but how can one man decide what a woman wants to do with her body.

Despite my lapsed faith, I find moving the really traditional songs such as the "The Holly and the Ivy", "We Three Kings," and "Hark the Herald Angels Sing"  Also, almost any Baroque or Renaissance music reminds me of this time of year.

"Joy to the World" is my favorite traditional carol. "Silver Bells"  among more popular ones.

I don't know if I really have a one favorite song. I like several such as Sleigh ride, Jingle Bell Rock, Silent Night and Jolly Old St. Nicholas.

Traditional sounding: Christmas at Ground Zero by Weird Al Parody: Opie & Anthony's version of Grandma Got Run Over By A reindeer Might-not-be-a-holiday-song: Holiday In Cambodia by The Dead Kennedy's Spoken Word: (Dumpin' Your Ass On) Valentine's Day by Rat Bastard Honorable mention: Christmas with the Devil by Spinal Tap and Lonely Jew by South Park.

Alias Irrelevante

My favorite holiday song is Santa Baby as sung by Eartha Kitt. It's smooth, seductive and what calms me down during the holiday rush.

"Deck the Halls". Also, I'm not Christian, but I enjoy the enthusiasm of "Go, Tell It on the Mountain."

Carol of the Bells!!!!!!  Not only is the music great, but the lyrics are psychotic: Here come the bells, there go the bells, where are the bells? So Many Bells!

What is my favorite holiday song? Probably the Drummer Boy.   Come, they told me, pa-rump-pum-pum-pum.....I love that song. I  also like Come All Ye Faithful. I love to hear my family play these songs. My aunts and cousins have a little musical group, and they play in the churches and when we have Christmas parties at my cousin Lana's house, I have an uncle that is an Elvis impersonator, and he sings for us Elvis style Christmas songs. Just about everybody in my family has some kind of musical talent. And they use it well. My grandmother can play the harmonica, accordion, piano, organ, she sings, and she also plays the harpsichord. She 87 years old, and she can still do it all. But everybody has at least one talent. Mine is singing and when I was little, I played piano, then gave it up for some reason. I guess I got burned out. But I love to sing, and do kareoke, and stuff like that. Boy, I'm way of subject.

I'm not really sure. "O Holy Night"? "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"? "Santa Baby"?

Definetly "Away in the manger". I can remeber singing this with actions all my life. As time went on my favorite is the 3rd verse of "Away in the manger"

Its a tie between "walking round in women's underwear" and "the 12 pains of  christmas". Oh, and maybe Adam sandler's "The haunakah song" :)

There are a couple; the entire soundtrack to "A Charlie Brown Christmas", and then the Bruce Springsteen cover version of "Santa Claus is Comin' To Town."

Kim, 30

The Chanuka Song. And I haven't heard it yet this year.  But I also, really, really like Simon and Garfunkel's version of Go Tell It On The Mountain.

For our family as a whole, you have not lived until you have heard our family sing Johnny Mathis' Christmas album. For current songs I like the Waitresses Christmas Wrapping and Bruce Springteen's Santa's Comin' to Town. But the definitive song for me is Bing Crosby singing White Christmas.

"Ghostbusters" to go with my favorite holiday: Halloween!!!!

silver bells

O Come All Ye Faithful. Hanson does an amazing cover of it, and its absolutely magical. That's one song that definitely gets me in the Christmas spirit, even in the middle of summer.

Silent Night.

I don't think I have one... oh wait, yeah I do, except I don't know what it's called. I think all of the other ones are annoying though.

My favorite Christmas song is "O Holy Night", but I love to hear Adam Sandler sing "The Hannakah Song" on the radio! I think it's so funny!

I'm old-fashioned (not easy in this new politically-correct world) and my favorite holiday song is "White Christmas". I fell in love with it when I heard Bing Crosby sing it in the movie "Holiday Inn".

Reba, 51

"Silent Night", "Red and Green", "We Three Kings" - too many to choose, i like almost all of them!

Silent Night-

Gack! They all stink. But I guess I can usually appreciate any parody of a known holiday song. And Adam Sandler's Hanukkah song is great.

Jesse, 25

Definitely O Holy Night. You can't really find a more beautiful song. It makes me cry when I hear it.

I love "River" by Joni Mitchell. . . It's gloomy and heartbreaking and beautiful. . .
