O Holy Night and Ave Maria
not traditional, "Grown Up Christmas List" on Barbra STreisand's Christmas CD is absolutely amazing.
ANYTHING on Christina Aguilera's Xmas CD...mmm, yum.
There's this one song on Linda Eder's Christmas CD that's abosultey amazing...something about bells, London...I think Frank wrote it. Can anyone help? Maybe it's like the bells of st. paul or something...(?)

Hey Munkus, I LOVE "Grown-up Christmas List" but I have it on an Amy Grant CD.
Also on that AG CD, there's another one I like called, "The Night Before Christmas." I think it was written by Carly Simon??

Probably... I'm dreaming of a White Christmas or the song that I've had stuck in my head for four years... We Wish You a Merry Christmas

Christmas Music is my favorite! I love SO many songs. Some of my favorites are:
1. Carol Of The Bells
2. Silent Night
3. God Rest Ye Mary Gantelmen (name ?)
I too can't wait for Christmas! and I am Jewish!!!! I just love the holidays! So I celebrate it ALL! It's how I was raised
It started with a sipmle idea, collecting one paper clip for every life lost, the feelings that connect us...are greater than those that divide us!

Stay with Me, from City of Angels, with re-written lyrics for Nancy Lamott.
It isn't Christmas every day..so Stay with Me
We've got the radio to play our favorite song
With a cup of Christmas cheer, I hope that you'll agree
To share a serenade with me.
No we don't have to join a choir - just Stay with Me
What say we cuddle by the fire, and not let go?
Beneath the tree and mistletoe
These yuletide moments that we spend
Never have to end
Keep them in your heart.
I know they're sure to stay with me,
Even after we must part.
"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!"

Here's another favorite from the Nancy LaMott Christmas CD (a Must-Have if you love great musical interpretation)
All Those Christmas Cliches
I’ve spent Christmas in Peoria, Christmas in Schenectedy, Christmas in Las Vegas and L.A.
And I always thought it couldn’t matter less, But lately, come December, I confess:
I want the tree full of toys and tinsel, I want the wreath on the red front door
I want the elves in the yard and each sentimental card dripping glitter on the floor
I want a roof full of plywood reindeer, I want a road full of horse-drawn sleighs
All Those Christmas Cliches
I want the turkey with all the trimmings, the turkey mom hardly ever made
I want the gulp and tear at the moment that I hear Johnny Mathis being played
I want a lake full of perfect skaters, I want that fruit cake with sugar glaze
All Those Christmas Cliches
Not to mention the snow, not to mention the choir, not to mention the candles in the window, and chestnuts roasting on the fire
Inside a house filled with noise and laughter along a street bathed in twinkling light
I want the bells and the drums, mistletoe and sugar plums, and kids to tuck in tight
And as for that guy in the bright red outfit, instead of flying off he stays
All Those Christmas Cliches
I want those overblown, corny, heartwarming, Hallmark Christmas cliches.

Bobby - no one can top Judy Garland's rendition of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas - it always makes me cry.
I love the Carol of the Bells also - thats really fun to sing in a good choral setting.
