Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, far and away. It's not syrupy or melodramatic, but has just the right mix of emotions.

What Child is This? (I love the Greensleeves music)
Winter Wonderland (I have no idea where to classify this. I just know it was the first song I learned and could sing all the way through - at the ripe old age of 2)

She came down the staircase wearing red. The waiters who greeted her were wearing green.

Red and green are Christmas colors. Therefore my favorite Christmas song is "Hello, Dolly!"

Next question?

Little Drummer Boy is my favorite (sorry BFB).
The Waitresses Christmas song (the title escapes me) is my favorite "modern" Christmas song.

O Holy Night. It's pretty and stuff.

(still haven't done much xmas shopping--having trouble finding gifts. So xmas songs stress me out at the moment.)

* O Holy Night
* O Come Emmanuel
* Christmas is All Around from "Love Actually"...for pure cheese factor

Go Tell It On The Mountain -- sung by a Gospel Choir.

mattonstage, "Little Drummer Boy" is also my fave (screw BFB!), especially when sung by a choir. I find the music very haunting.

O Little Town of Bethlehem is my favorite traditional.
White Christmas is my other favorite. :)
