Augie Posted December 10, 2017 Posted December 10, 2017 Burl Ives and Holly Jolly Christmas is #1. It’s a family thing. But I worked with a guy who was so moved by Oh Holy Night almost any version still gets to me 25 years later. 2 hours ago, RaoulDuke79 said: Little Drummer Boy Another very fine choice! The sounds of the Christmas season.

Paul McCartney is probably my most favorite musician of all time. That said ... while I don't hate the song, per se, it is WAY over produced and overly corny. I can see why people don't like it. I have friend "in the industry," ... let's just say he's "significant." He gave the same, exact critique of this song. You have a good ear, Fergs!

My favorite traditional x-mas song is still Bing Crosby's "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas" Favorite Rock n Roll Christmas song has always been "Run Rudolph Run" by Chuck Berry. Edit: Worst of all time is "The Christmas Shoes" Edited December 10, 2017 by Doc Brown

I liked Lennon's "Happy X-mas (War Is Over)" more. Both fit their style of music perfectly and why they made some of the best music ever when they collaborated.

Canadian Bills Fan Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 Hark the Herald by either Sinatra or Bing
Happy Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 Traditional - "White Christmas" by Bing Crosby Non-Traditional (though becoming more of a classic) - "Have yourself a Merry little Christmas" as done by Pretenders
ChevyVanMiller Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 (edited) Lots of great answers given already, but if you ever find yourself heartbroken on Christmas this song by Joni Mitchell is a true masterpiece. I dare you to watch this one and not laugh out loud and feel a little bit better about humanity when it's over. Edited December 12, 2017 by ChevyVanMiller

SinceThe70s Posted December 14, 2017 Posted December 14, 2017 I thought this Christmas song, which is a Christmas song, but not my favorite Christmas song and also not a Christmas song I hate was worth sharing. Instead of starting a new thread, here its is.
Billsfansinceday1 Posted December 14, 2017 Posted December 14, 2017 "I'll Be Home For Christmas" has always touched my heart. A very beautiful song written with our brave men and women overseas during WW2 in mind.
