What is your favorite Christmas song?
Kelda:
Oh and the teenage crush thread reminded me of one of my all time favourite songs.
Fairytale of New York by the Pogues (Featuring Kirsty MacColl)
It's such a gorgous and uplifting song.
How many times have I been in the middle of a crowd celebrrating Hogmonay or Christmas when they've all been singing their hearts out to this? Too many to remember!

When a child is born
Coventry Carol
Good King Wensless
Sweet Chiming Bells.
more modern pop songs.. last christmas, merry christmas everyone
other more child friendly ones:
Winter Wonderland
Oh Christmas Tree
all I want for Christmas is my 2 Front Teeth
--- End quote ---
Coventry Carol. That's another beautiful Christmas song. :)

I voted for "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" because I just love that song and Judy Garland and the film Meet Me in St Louie. But I also really like "Believe" from the film The Polar Express sung by Josh Groban. Gives me goose bumps.

Believe
Children sleeping
snow is softly falling.
Dreams are calling
like bells in the distance.
We were dreamers not so long ago.
But one by one we all had to grow up.
When it seems the magic slipped away,
we find it all again on Christmas day...
Believe in what your heart is saying,
hear the melody that's playing.
There's no time to waste,
there's so much to celebrate.
Believe in what you feel inside,
And give your dreams the wings to fly.
You have everything you need,
If you just believe.
Trains move quickly to their journey's end.
Destinations are where we begin again.
Ships go sailing far across the sea.
Trust in starlight, to get where they need to be.
When it seems that we have lost our way,
we find ourselves again on Christmas day...
Believe in what your heart is saying,
hear the melody that's playing.
There's no time to waste,
there's so much to celebrate.
Believe in what you feel inside,
And give your dreams the wings to fly.
You have everything you need,
If you just believe.
If you just believe.
If you just believe.
If you just believe.
Just believe.
Just believe.

I believe "Tennessee Christmas" was also recorded by Alabama. It has a nice melody. These lyrics are from Amy Grant & Gary Chapman, 1983. This song provided a sense of home and warmth in the years I wasn't able to be with family over the holidiay.
Tennessee Christmas
Come on, weather man,
Give us a forecast snowy white
Can't you hear the prayers
Of every childlike heart tonight
Rockies are calling, Denver snow falling
Somebody said it's four feet deep
But it doesn't matter, give me the laughter
I'm gonna choose to keep.
Another tender Tennessee Christmas
The only Christmas for me
Where the love circles around us
Like the gifts around our tree
Well, I know there's more snow up in Colorado
Than my roof will ever see
But a tender Tennessee Christmas
Is the only Christmas for me.
Every now and then I get a wandering urge to see
Maybe California, maybe Tinsel Town's for me
There's a parade there, we'd have it made there
Bring home a tan for New Year's Eve
Sure sounds inviting, awfully exciting
Still I think I'm gonna keep.
Another tender Tennessee Christmas
The only Christmas for me
Where the love circles around us
Like the gifts around our tree
Well, they say in L.A. it's a warm holiday
It's the only place to be
But a tender Tennessee Christmas
Is the only Christmas for me.

Another fun song off Alabama's Christmas in Dixie CD is Thistlehair the Christmas Bear. My neices love to sing this one.
The city's full of manager scenes and stores lit up in red and green
But down the road just out of town there's more magic to be found
The countryside is all aglow with holly trees and mistletoe
And in them woods there lives a bear known to all as Thistlehair
Oh Thistlehair the Christmas bear spreadin' the good news everywhere
About Christmas time and what it means to all the children of the world
Every little boy and girl out there loves Thistlehair
He comes around this time of year spreading lots of Christmas cheer
The kids all love his shiny coat and the smell of honey on his nose
He tells them all about the Wondrous Star and everything that it stands for
The birthday we all celebrate is still our favorite holiday
Oh Thistlehair the Christmas bear spreadin' the good news everywhere
About Christmas time and what it means to all the children of the world
Every little boy and girl out there loves Thistlehair
Wherever you find old Thistlehair there'll be music in the air
He dances 'round the Christmas tree every single Christmas Eve
Then he and all his furry friends gather 'round the fire again
Singin' 'bout the Angels' wings and the gifts of love that Christmas brings
Oh Thistlehair the Christmas bear spreadin' the good news everywhere
About Christmas time and what it means to all the children of the world
Every little boy and girl out there loves Thistlehair
Thistlehair the Christmas bear
