I know it’s not really a happy Christmas song, but I love Elvis’s version of Blue Christmas.
- Loop Lady - Tuesday, Dec 15, 09 @ 1:39 pm:
The Christmas Song sung only by Nat King Cole…

I put my request in yesterday, and it stands. I like all of the traditional Christmas/holiday tunes, it’s the soundtrack of the season.
One major exception though, and Rich, I beg you to resist the urge: Bob Dylan’s Little Drummer Boy. It sounds like Alvin and the Chipmunks on qualludes. As Jose would say, “no es bueno.”
- Barton Lorimor - Tuesday, Dec 15, 09 @ 2:07 pm:
Call me old fashioned, but I am still a fan of the Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack. If I had to pick one track, I’d say “Christmas Time is Here.”
Btw, my name is Barton. I am in the process of moving to Springfield for the next six months to intern at Capitol Fax. I look forward to meeting everyone after the holidays.

Like a couple other The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire) sung ONLY by Nat King Cole. Why in the world would anyone try to do it any better?

Silent Night by Stevie Nicks
- Middle of the Road - Tuesday, Dec 15, 09 @ 3:03 pm:
The great jazz version of The Christmas Song by Dexter Gordon–pure bliss.
- dupage dan - Tuesday, Dec 15, 09 @ 3:13 pm:
White Christmas by Irving Berlin. The 1st song I learned on my trumpet in 4th grade. One of my all time favorite holiday movies as well.
- You Go Boy - Tuesday, Dec 15, 09 @ 3:16 pm:
“All I want for Christmas is You” sung by Lisa Layne….superb.
- hawksfan - Tuesday, Dec 15, 09 @ 3:18 pm:
the eagles-please come home for christmas.
- soccermom - Tuesday, Dec 15, 09 @ 3:18 pm:
Love the Charlie Brown soundtrack. And the “Razzleberry Dressing” song from the Magoo Christmas Carol. And Burl Ives singing “Silver and Gold” from Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
Ya know, maybe Mother was right when she said I watched too much tv….
- Jaded - Tuesday, Dec 15, 09 @ 3:59 pm:
Trying not to choose some of my favorites that have already been taken I will vote for “White Christmas” by the Drifters, and “Jingle Bell Rock” by Bobby Helms from the first Lethal Weapon.
- CircularFiringSquad - Tuesday, Dec 15, 09 @ 4:56 pm:
It might be too scary for the anti-Thomson fraidy cats but Jimi Hendrix silent night smokes.

Fairytale of New York - “It was Christmas Eve, babe, in the drunk tank . . .”
- kimsch - Tuesday, Dec 15, 09 @ 5:44 pm:
O Holy Night, followed by Angels We Have Heard on High and Mary, Did You Know.
- T.J. - Tuesday, Dec 15, 09 @ 7:43 pm:
Best ever is either “The Christmas Song” by Nat King Cole or his version of “O Holy Night.”
Worst ever is “Last Xmas” by anybody.
- Rambler - Tuesday, Dec 15, 09 @ 8:03 pm:
I like most all the traditional songs depending on the occasion, but Adeste Fideles is very moving. On the flip side, Feliz Navidad may be the worst (sorry).

““It was Christmas Eve, babe, in the drunk tank . . .” ”
‘an old man said to me, won’t see another one…
and then ‘e sang a song, THE RARE OLD MOUNTAIN DEW!
I turned my face away.
And dreamed about…you.’
(Look ma, no Google!)

Another vote for Nat King Cole. Every time I hear the Christmas song, I have a Proustian rush of memories of Decembers past, and all the loved ones who have gone home.
- Dead Head - Wednesday, Dec 16, 09 @ 8:57 am:
Another Christmas Song by Stephen Colbert
- smarty pants - Wednesday, Dec 16, 09 @ 9:23 am:
The best ever is Frank Sinatra’s “Jingle Bells”. Shake a martini and swing with Frank.
