Mud Lonely this Christmas has very *special* memories :)

Denominational Carol -
Adeste Fideles (the original Latin version of O Come All Ye Faithful) and In the Bleak Mid-Winter

Religious "pop" -
I'm possibly the only person willing to admit that they bought all Mr Richard's Christmas number ones...

Non-Denominational / Secular -
White Christmas if sung by Bing Crosby

Edit:
Ooops - how could I forget The Pogues - Fairytale of New York...I love that song!

Although it isn't a true 'Christmas song', we sang "Let There Be Peace On Earth" at the end of a multicultural chorus concert when I was a wee child of fourteen. Since then, to me it embodies the spirit of the season more than any other song I've heard.

However, the one that makes me cry is "O Holy Night".

I love The Pogues with Kirsty McColl - Fairytale of New York
My second fave is Stop The Cavalry as mentioned above.

I actually love most Christmas songs, I love little drummer boy with Bing and David , but I do love Aled and Terry Wogan's version of the same....I love carols, love hearing them in big old churches, even though I am bot religious. I love the Pouges, Mud, but if I am honest, and I sit here with my head hung in shame its Merry Christmas Everyone by erm *coughs* Shaky .....that makes me all Chrismassy !

Bing Crosby's White Christmas

Not a favorite per say but a interesting look at 24 years ago.

Coventry Carol. Oh, and I do like The Holly and the Ivy. I'm not a huge fan of Christmas carols as a rule though.

I HATEHATEHATE Christmas with a passion that knows no bounds

I *do* enjoy this song, though.

damn, could he look any more into it?

[ddiva-xo.livejournal.com]

I love O Holy Night and Mary Did You Know? They're beautiful songs. I also love just about anything by Trans Siberian Orchestra. :D And traditional songs like The Christmas Song, Silver Bells (that was Gran's favorite), Silent Night, Jingle Bells...

And Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree.. that was Grandpa's favorite. :D

I think I just love Christmas music, lol.

[pyxiwulf.livejournal.com]

carol of the bells, and I am particularly fond of rock and metal renditions. and yes of course I own the metallica and the trans-siberian orchestra versions :D

[pyxiwulf.livejournal.com]

Ave Maria, though I don't think it's technically a Christmas song.

[mighty-rontor.livejournal.com]

"Christmas Wrapping" by The Waitresses.

Carol of the Bells (Christmas in Sarajevo) by Trans-Siberian Orchestra

I have a quirk, in that I detest Christmas music at Christmas. There's too much of it, and seemingly no escape. So usually you'll find me humming Christmas music in July or August.

One of the very few songs that don't drive me over the edge at Christmas would be Crash Test Dummies version of Noel, and I'm a fan of Rolf Harris's 'Six White Boomers' from Australia.. I never hear that more than once or twice a year.. and I usually have to dig it out of my own collection. Other than that I like the funny tunes.. like Robert Earl Keen's 'Merry Christmas from the Family'

My fav Xmas songs....

"Deck The Halls"

Deck the halls with gasoline
Fa la la la la
la la la la

Light a match and watch them gleam
Fa la la la la
la la la la la

Watch them as they burn to ashes
Fa la la
la la la
la la la

Aren't you glad you play with matches?
Fa la la la la
la la la la

"Joy To The World"

Joy to the world
our teacher is dead
we barbequed her head!

What happened to her body?
we flushed it down the potty!

And then we made a toast!
And then we made a toast!

And theeeen and theeeen
we made a toast!
