Holiday songs

[Breezy]

I listened to holiday songs while putting up the decorations - made it more festive. I love all the holiday songs esp O Holy Night and What Child Is This plus Sleighride, Silver Bells, Winter Wonderland & Let It Snow etc. I also love a big mug of eggnog to keep the energy up while decorating.:)
What are some of your favorite holiday tunes?

I adore Christmas music and I have to listen to it while I'm decorating! My favorite song is "O Holy Night". I also love "Do You Hear What I Hear?", "I Wonder As I Wander" and "Christmas At Our House".

Red wine does wonders for keeping my energy up while decorating. :D

[Breezy]

I hear ya Lynz!;)

I love Christmas music. I listen to it off and on all year! Some of my very favorites are Silent Night, Mary Did You Know?, The Holly Bears the Berry, Ring The Bells, and I could go on and on:)!

I heard Dan Fogelburg singing that song about meeting his old girlfriend at a store and sitting in her car and so on and so on. What is the name of that song???? I love it. Remember..and the snow turned into rain...la la la lah....awhhh what is the name of that song????:o

[Breezy]

Memmy the song is called "Same Old Lang Syne" - I had to look it up - the mind is the first thing to go :o

I love the songs from A Charlie Brown Christmas, and Baby it's Cold Outside (Doris Day and Bing Crosby), The Little Drummer Boy (Harry Conick Jr) and Santa Baby (Eartha Kit).

Honestly, I could just listen to church bells. Christmas music is the best!

Apparently one of our local radio stations agrees with you, Lisa. They've been playing Christmas music 24/7 since Halloween. :eek:

One of the radio stations here is playing holiday music 24/7 also - I forgot to add Carol Of The Bells to my list - I love that song with or without lyrics

I also adore Christmas church music~ especially a choir.

I also love love love the movie White Christmas and all it's music.

That movie was on tv this afternoon:)

My all time favorite is "Meet Me in St.Louis" with Judy Garland. Remember the song "Have yourself a merry little Christmas"?

I have Christmas music in my car right now. I got a bunch of CDs from a used music store, and have been enjoying in particular some Celtic-styled Christmas music-- traditional tunes done in a... well, almost sea shanty way. Filled with Irish pennywhistles, pipes, accordions, etc. Very upbeat, haunting and a bit different. I'm enjoying it a lot.

I've also got Charlie Brown's jazz in the car, The Grinch, and Ella Fitzgerald.

It helps mix it up because, frankly, if I hear "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" by Theresa Brewer one more time, I might crack. :)

My son was asking me if I wanted any music for Christmas and I was telling him that I have a new affinity for Celtic music. Would you recommend something?

[Lynzee]

Check out this website, Lisa.

I'm listening to the "Celtic Christmas" station now. Absolutely beautiful!

That is the neatest thing! Beautiful music ~ I think I'm in love.

And Lisa, if you can find Loreena McKennit's Christmas music, you may really like that, as well. She's a Canadian singer with a marvelous voice that does some terrific renditions of Celtic Christmas songs.

One of my favorites is On Christmas Night by Cherish The Ladies. I also like their other non-Christmas music.
