Veteran  392   Calgary |  Subject: Favourite Christmas SongsI realize it's Thanksgiving weekend in America (never mind the "real" Thanksgiving was weeks ago Every year I put together a mix CD of Xmas music for my peeps at work as my Secret Santa gift, and after several years I'm starting to run out of good ideas. So my question to the unendingly wise and experienced CoJ: What are YOUR favourite Christmas songs, and who performs them? For me, my Top 5 are: ADD TO THE LIST, PLEASE!

Iron Donkey 38643 , Wisconsin | Subject: RE: Favourite Christmas Songs The Hallelujah Chorus (by any talented choir). It's a very powerful and beautiful song in music, even though I don't get into the "meaning" of the words, but the musical movement of it just hits me. |

I'll Be Home For Christmas - Bing Crosby. Classic sound, great song. Always at the top of the playlist especially when I was deployed over the holiday seasons. |

| Subject: RE: Favourite Christmas Songs SWIM2LIVE - 2011-11-23 10:43 PM Shirley Temple - I want a hippopotomus for Christmas I can tap dance and sing it for you if you wish. I love that song but it's not Shirley Temple. It's Gayla Peevey. One of the radio stations gave her one, real hippo, that she donated to a local zoo. |

Pro 4189 Pittsburgh, my heart is in Glasgow | Subject: RE: Favourite Christmas Songs About two years ago, my husband got the Sufjan Stevens Christmas album, and it is actually really good. Some classics, some original songs, but all just earnestly sung. "Come thou Font of Every Blessing" and "Lo How a Rose E'er Blooming" Edited by phoenixazul 2011-11-24 5:57 AM |

Master 1970 Somewhere on the Tennessee River | Subject: RE: Favourite Christmas Songs I Believe In Father Christmas by Greg Lake
The Holly and the Ivy by the Mediaeval Baebes.
Aimee Mann's version of God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman
Could go on a bit more but you get the drift. The Mediaeval Baebes have a Christmas album out that I would recommend.

Extreme Veteran 1704 Penticton, BC | Subject: RE: Favourite Christmas Songs I'd like to second MadMathemagician's I Believe in Father Christmas by Greg Lake. You could check out Christmas songs by Stompin' Tom Connors. Can't get more Canuck than Stompin' Tom. Or, Bare Naked Ladies have a few as well. |

Master 6834 Englewood, Florida | Subject: RE: Favourite Christmas Songs LockOut - 2011-11-25 11:16 AM Straight No Chaser has some nice stuff. As do Bruce Springsteen, Jimmy Buffett, Amy Grant, and George Strait. And who can resist Bing Crosby. |
