"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" is my #1 favorite. Last year I threw in "All I Want For Christmas is You" from the Love Actually soundtrack! I have to wait until after Thanksgiving though to break it out!

Hate Christmas. Hate Valentine's Day. Noble conceptions bastardized by commercialization and the desire to make singletons feel more alone and bitter while the Smug Marrieds and their ilk wallow in their happiness and togetherness under the mistletoe and cupid, respectively.

Wow, I'm more excited about BJD2 than I thought.

I've got over 25 Christmas CDs. Can't decide on one favorite song.

i don't brake it out until the day after thanksgiving... but i love the following albums
michael buble- let it snow
barbra streisand- a christmas album
barbra streisand- christmas memories
michael crawford- a christmas album (real creative here...)
johnny mathis- merry christmas
rat pack- rat pack christmas
harry connick jr.- when my heart finds christmas
harry connick jr.- harry for the holidays

i'm looking forward to getting some techno-holiday albums this year, but that is because i am a nerd. i need some nat king cole, too. my actualy favourite christmas song... chestnut's roasting on an open fire, and let it snow. anything old skoo. who's on "yule be swingin" beaver? mesa looove swing moozik. and i enjoy kay starr as well, but i didn't know who she was until i got XM radio... they play her a lot on "frank's place."

I am partial to Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You". And then I drink some more, and it becomes, "Allffwantforcwismussswisyooooou" and I fall over. And cry.

"Silent Night Medley" -Hanson
"White Christmas" -Bing Crosby
"Donde Esta Santa Claus?" -Augie Rios

And hang on, when did you win the discus?

feinstein, just because you don't like Mariah Carey doesn't mean she hasn't done something that other people can appreciate.

Bing Crosby-White Christmas
Any really jazzy version of The Christmas Song

I love Christmas, but I don't break out the Christmas stuff until after Thanksgiving dinner at which point the Christmas season is commenced by watching White Christmas.

My avatar is a reminder to myself. I need lots of reminders...

I'm a nasty Asian drunk. Two years ago involved me getting tipsy at the family dinner after being dumped by my BF (in BED! - but i digress), calling him up during Christmas pudding, asking if he'd be open to having sex like certain primates, falling over and vomiting on the hostess's shoes.

it got ugly.

i HATE christmas.

There is NO freaking way I could choose just one. But I love Jane Krakowski's version of Santa Baby. She is such a cool chick. ::sigh::

I'm with you, Beaverhausen--I almost pulled a Mame on Wednesday and decorated my apt. I think we DO need a little Christmas right this very minute!

Oh, God, please spare me the Christmas carols. They start playing them on those idiot 24-hour carol stations before it's even Thanksgiving, and by December I want to poke my eardrums out with a spork. A few of them are lovely, but most of them are so saccharine they'd give a rock a sugar high. Ugh.
