You can probably guess my favorite artist who provided us with so many that I am playing his CD right now. Yes, it is the King and his Blue Christmas that kicks off the season for me, and I can't even wait until after Thanksgiving to hear it again...
 

That wasn't nice, and, remember, Santa will be checking his list to see who has been naughty or nice...
 

Probably White Christmas.. or I'll be home for Christmas. But for the most part.. I dislike Christmas Carols. They are fine for about a week, but after 6 weeks of them inundating the airwaves.. I'm really glad when December 26th gets here. Some of them REALLY make me puke... Like that Beatles one... "Simply having a wonderful Christmas time...........over and over and over and over and over and over... bleh.
 
Not sure I can pick an out and out favourite. I do enjoy hearing Wizard (I wish it could be Christmas every day) and Slade (Merry Christmas everybody) but for something slightly different I also like Jona Lewie (Stop the Cavalry) and The Pogues with Kirsty McColl (Fairytale of New York).
 
Almost all Christmas music is great and can evoke a poignant memory or two. There are a few I don't like - "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer", "The Twelve Days of Christmas" (it just goes on so long!), anything by Kenny G (that wailing sax grates on my eardrums).

HAHA! Hope you're satisfied...been singing this all morning! Thanks!:)
 
QS, I don't care much for Christmas carols either---one or two days is enough.

These I could listen to more often. The second is a bit corny, but cute, IMO.


 
Pam mentioned Slade and Wizzard who are two of my favourites at Christmas, but this one always gets me up dancing.

 
Well, I can tell you what my favorite holiday movie is... Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase.... That movie has so many unforgettable lines in it.. I'm always catching a new one.
 
There are not many Christmas Pop songs that I like [prefer Christmas Carols really] but Stop The Cavalry is one that you can't get out of your head once it's been on the radio, I once had it whizzing about in my head for days! The Slade song made me want to scream at the time it came out [still feel that way] but Wizard are ok. When A Child Is Born is rather nice.

Love that movie. LOL.

As far as songs, though I'm not religious, "Oh Holy Night", will' always rank first with me, but little drummer boy way in is up there with it. Oh wait, we're talking the pop versions. Let me think. Hmmm who messed them up the least, scratches head. Scratch that thought, what ones do I still enjoy.


I like this new version of drummer boy.



Couldn't find a pop version that moved me and really it's the vocal and melody and sentiment of this one that I like.
