I love Andy Williams "Its the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" -- I have very fond memories listening to the song and decorating the Christmas tree with my grandfather who is no longer with us. Every time I hear it, I think of him!

Christmas in Hollis by RUn DMC - I'm from Queens and went to high school in Jamaica, and we loved this song. it's hilarious.

The We 3 Kings/God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman mash up by Sarah McLachlan and Barenaked Ladies. Always makes me happy :)

Do They Know it's Christmas? - 80s childhood Christmas classic. Every time I hear this song, it's 1986 at Aunt Gloria's.

The Little Drummer Boy - this was my dad's favorite, who died 10 years ago. He grew up poor - like impoverished, in an orphanage - and did exceedingly well in this great country, but he always identified with the poor drummer boy in this song. I lose it every time the boy approaches Jesus and says "I am a poor boy, too...I have no gift to bring...that's fit to give our king." Just a beautiful song.

I love Christmas Chat Icon

I like both of these too - but in a kind of sad, wistful way.

In fact, DH always wants me to turn off the Carpenters because he thinks all of their songs sound super depressing!

O Holy Night is my absolute favorite Christmas song. I love Jessica Simpson's version.

Other favorites:

Please Come Home For Christmas
Last Christmas
Baby It's Cold Outside
Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
My Grown Up Christmas List
Where Are You Christmas
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays
Christmases When You Were Mine

I'm currently obsessed with the Pentatonix Christmas album, especially Hallelujah. I could listen to them sing anything though.
