To continue with the Christmas-themed thread, I thought I'd throw this out there. :)
I have traditional Christmas Songs on Pandora right now, and pretty much every other song evokes a "Oh! I love this song!" comment from me. Max is highly amused at how many "favorites" I have of things, but this is ridiculously true when it comes to traditional songs this time of year.
If I had to choose a favorite-favorite, though, it would be Winter Wonderland, preferably sung by Johnny Mathis, but that's not essential. A close second would have to be Good King Wenceslas. Oh, and Oh Come All Ye Faithful and O Little Town of Bethlehem!
I love Christmas/Wintertime Carols. :wub:
The First Noel just came on. Add that to the list. :wub:

I've been doing the same thing all day :)
"Deck My Balls", by The Ed Anger Trio.
Hark the Herald Angels Sing and Come All Ye Faithful are favourites.
O Holy Night and Joy to the World.
Oh yeah, forgot Angels We Have Heard on High.

Come All Ye Faithful
Do you know the Latin version? :nerd:
"Walking Round in Women's Underwear" is probably my favorite parody.
Otherwise too many favorites to really narrow it down. Last year I started exploring a lot more of the lesser-played older stuff. I really Peggy Lee's "Christmas Carousel" album-- everything from the album cover to the songs is excellent kitschy 1960 aluminum tree retro goodness.
Also Mitch Miller's Christmas albums figure heavily into my playlists. Takes me back to my childhood. Mom always dug the LPs out for Christmas and we mostly had that, Burl Ives, and Frank Sinatra to listen to.
A friend just introduced me to this Canadian song, Huron Carol, and it's lovely! I've never heard it before. I assume that there's a French version somewhere? :unsure:

Listening right now to a totally awesome Christmas-themed album by The Kinsey Sicks, titled "Oy Vey in a Manger" :lol:
Among spiritual Christmas songs, "Oh Come All Ye Faithful" is probably my favorite.
Among secular Christmas songs, probably "White Christmas".
When we get to parodies and irreverant stuff, I like "Santa Claus is Watching You".
