I like the original singer for The Christmas Song, Mr. Torme.

Anything sung by Dino works too. I was surprised that the Bing Crosby

David Bowie version of Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth was not on

there as well.

I played this at a Christmas concert once. The kids loved it. The parents not so much.

He also does "Christmas at Ground Zero"
Probably lost some of it's luster after the events of 9/11

God Rest YE Merry Gentlemen - Bare Naked Coke Snorters and Sarah MCLachlan(?) is a good one.

The Christmas Song by Nat King Cole......

That's it, voting over, no more discussion.....

My Dad introduced me to NKC through The Christmas Song and that entire album.....each year, the first time I hear it, it makes me cry.....it makes me think of him, singing along....and then commenting, "No one does it like Nat".......No, but you came pretty close, Daddy!

Please Come Home for Christmas/Eagles

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas/Judy Garland or James Taylor...

I went to school with the kid whose Dad wrote the lyrics and music to Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas...they spent many XMAS's with Judy Garland and her daughters.

Just about anything from Andy Williams' Christmas album means Christmas to me.

Ever heard the song Santa Can't Stay by Dwight Yokum? That's pretty funny too (for someone's Christmas getting ruined)

Trans-Siberian Orchestra may not make alot of poeple's list, But if you read the story line that goes along with the songs on all 3 CDs, it is truely amazing.

What a great song, that's one of my new favorites...the rest of that album is pretty lame though

Woman I love ya
You know that I do
How else can I say
Happy Christmas to you

My presents I know
In the past have been lame
But I'm not a good shopper
I say it with shame

This year please don't make me go shopping at the mall
How bout we don't buy each other presents at all
Hey why don't we both just get drunk
And make out this Christmas?

I know there are plenty of folks on here who "complain" about her politics,
but Barbra Streisand's Christmas Memories album is truly spectacular.

One of my favorite Christmas Albums is "Christmas" by Bruce Cockburn. Just a wonderful album, I can't say enough good things about it.

Ah, I love the opening song to "The Christmas that Almost Wasn't".... there once was a Christmas that almost wasn't, because of a man named Prune....what a classic.
