The Christmas Song Thread
 

I've been listening to Chirstmas songs while wrapping presents today. I'm just trying to get into the spirit for when I go to mom's later this evening for Christmas with my nieces and nephews.

There's one, I think it's called The Gift. I've been trying to find who sings it. I found the lyrics, and where Garth Brooks sang it, but there's a version out with a girl singing it that I absolutely love. The last line contains "the very first nightingale's song." ANy help would be greatly appreciated.

Other than that, what are some of your favorite Christmas songs?

Bing Crosby - Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Nat King Cole - The Christmas Song


Two classics that really capture the mood of my perfect holiday.

Christmas in Hollis--Run DMC

Rudolph the deepthroat reindeer.

John Denver : Please Daddy (Dont get Drunk this Christmas)

"Christmas Eve", I think its called, Transsiberian Orchestra

Jingle Bell Rock.

While not my fav I'll never forget seeing this when it first aired on MTV

Christmas Is The Time To Say I Love you

Ten hours of Christmas stuff no repeats on Radio Blowfish. Some is not safe for little kiddies, so adult swim only:

I like McCartney's - Wonderful Christmas Time

and Lennon's - Happy X-Mas (War is Over).

I love the non-believers and how they sit here making fun of good Christmas songs, knowing damn well they get choked up about all of the music, sights and specials on TV. fuckin hosers, quit lying to yourself and us. Seriously people, it's okay to say you like the time of year and the things that go with it. :shake:

The charlie Brown Christmas Soundtrack "O Christmas Tree" it's totally jazzy and captures the groove and feel of moving around town during Christmas, maybe while shopping or whatever - it's totally cool.

For the Sake of Our Brother - Trans Siberian Orchestra

"The Christmas Shoes".
