Status: offline 		I would love to know.  Links if possible would be awesome too. :)  There's so much out there aside from the old standards that not many people think about.  Not that there's anything wrong with the old standards either.  Come on, Burl Ives or Bing Crosby?  I couldn't even begin to imagine the season without them.

So, be they old or new, remixes or covers, serious or silly, whatever.  What's your favorite holiday song(s)?

Mine are, in no particular order:  1  2   3

Status: offline 		I cant believe Im admitting to this
This  one has always been a favourite since it came out and  it is one that will get me in the mood for the holidays quicker than anything
This one still makes me cry, and looking at the vid, I have a tear remembering ....
No one does it like Eartha
English one again, Kim Wilde and Mel Smith (Deck your balls with boughs of holly)
and altho these arent all..this one is and always will be for me the epitomy of christmas songs, altho I like the "holiday inn" version better.
Is it christmas yet?????

EDIT:  Don't worry, I love the others too.   Especially Slade.  God they were an odd bunch.

Here's a few of mine:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjaPXihbORk - makes me laugh

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqOfXumI18A - makes me grateful

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9KpNznVLlY - makes me peaceful

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xG9QyKxYUxw  makes me happy and makes me dance

Littlewonder, have you ever heard it sung by Laura Bradley?  Probably my favorite rendition.

I love hearing Ave Maria sung in church during the holidays in the traditional manner. It gives me a feeling of peace and contentment.

I'm also looking at these lists and realizing that I have a truly disturbing amount of christmas music in my collection. 

CarrieO, I highly agree with #3 of yours.  Greg Lake does my favorite version of that song that I've heard.

Nice, isn't it?

I've known it for quite a while. I don't play out much anymore, but I promised a coffee shop owner friend I'd join the roster of performers for her place. I'm putting it in a short set of winter songs, along with Devonsquare's "Walking on Ice."

My daughter's chorus did a beautiful/powerful rendition of Masters In This Hall/March Of The Kings a few years ago, but I haven't been able to find anything similar on youtube in the past, but separately..

That sounds like a great deal of fun. :)  Going to have anyone filming/recording it?

EDIT:

I have that album on vinyl Aylee!  It sounds just... right.  Am I the only one that thinks that some things just sound better on vinyl or on cassette or even 8 track?  Not technically better but, they just sound right.

Curious, I've not seen Mame in soooooo long!  Great selection there.  Brought a huge huge grin to my face.

I hadn't planned on it--I do have some promos the local PBS station did a few years ago of "Walking on Ice" and a Leo Kottke medley (I donated a few concerts for the fund drive), but they're on three-track VHS tape. Maybe someone has a digital camera that could it. I'll ask.

That would be very cool.  And I'd imagine I don't speak just for myself when I say that I would love to see/hear it.  :)
