What is your favorite Christmas song?
Lynne:
That looks nice, Dottie! I'll have to look for an Alabama holiday CD. I only have the Amy Grant version.
dot-matrix:
another different one I love is
Christmas For Cowboys from John Denvers Rocky Mountain Christmas
Tall in the saddle, we spend Christmas Day, driving the cattle over snow
covered-plains.
All of the good gifts given today, ours is the sky and the wide open range.
Back in the cities they have different ways, football and eggnog and Christmas
parades.
I'll take my saddle, I'll take the reins, It's Christmas for cowboys wide-open
plains.
A campfire for warmth as we stop for the night, the stars overhead are
Christmas tree lights.
The wind sings a hymn as we bow down to pray, It's Christmas for cowboys,
wide-open plains.
Tall in the saddle we spend Christmas Day, driving the cattle over
snow-covered plains.

It's Christmas for cowboys, wide open plains.

Edit: Another favorite song of mine is "Carol of the Bells" but I don't think I saw it on the list.
Hark! how the bells
Sweet silver bells
All seem to say,
"Throw oars away."
Christmas is here
Bringing good cheer
To young and old
Meek and the bold
Ding, dong, ding, dong
That is their song
With joyful ring
All caroling
One seems to hear
Words of good cheer
From ev'rywhere
Filling the air
O how happy are their tones
Gaily they ring
While people sing
Songs of good cheer
Christmas is here
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
On, on they send
On without end
Their joyful tone
To ev'ry home

David,
I love this song, too. I always thought the line was "throw cares away". LOL
I believe it's originally Ukrainian.
Here's my new favorite: "My Grown Up Christmas List". I first heard Michael Buble sing this, now many others have as well.
Grown-up Christmas List
Do you remember me?
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you with childhood fantasies
Well, I'm all grown-up now
Can you still help somehow?
I'm not a child, but my heart still can dream
So here's my lifelong wish
My grown-up Christmas list
Not for myself, but for a world in need
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
Every man would have a friend
That right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown-up Christmas list
What is this illusion called the innocence of youth?
Maybe only in that blind belief can we ever find the truth
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal our hearts
Every man would have a friend
That right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown-up Christmas list
This is my only lifelong wish
This is my grown-up Christmas list
Paul

You're right! It is "Throw cares away". Thanks for pointing it out. I'll go back and fix it! :D
I love those lyrics to "My Grown Up Christmas List". If only those words were possible.
Thanks Paul! :)

I have to go with "Away in a Manger". That was the last Christmas carol I can remember my family singing in the presence of my maternal grandfather, just days before he succumbed, while in hospice care at his home, to terminal bone cancer. This was in December of 1998, in Sugar Land, Texas. The third and concluding verse was especially poignant under the circumstances:
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever, and love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care,
And take us to heaven, to live with Thee there.
