What is your favorite Christmas pop song?

Oh I love all Christmas songs....Chris Rea's driving home for Christmas is probably my favourite, but I love it all..and as soon as I hear this one, I really get into the Christmas spirit..


 
I enjoy the Christmas season, all of the pretty colored lights and shiny decorations, the fragrant pine or fir smell of the Christmas tree, and also I love hearing all of the old carols, and the newer Christmas songs.
As a child, I loved it when our church "went caroling", with all of us kids bundled in our snowsuits, and crowded into the back of someone's old Ford pickup. Up and down the snow-covered streets we went, singing our way along, and stopping by the houses of the older folks who went to our church. They usually came out with cookies to reward us for our fine caroling.
The "Old Folks Home" was always one of our favorite stops, and as we walked up and down the halls, we happily serenaded all of the elderly folks who lived there. Even though they didn't have cookies, we knew that they loved us coming in and caroling for them.
Now, I kind of am one of those older folks, thankfully not in the Old Folks Home yet; and I still love hearing the carolers if they come by, and even just the Christmas music on the radio. (I even like "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer !) .

One of my favorite things was when I was selling newspaper subscriptions at stores, and I worked at Old Time Pottery. They played music from the 50's-60's every day, and at Christmas, the whole store was like a Christmas world with all of the decorations that they sold there. Naturally, they played Christmas music all day long , every day from Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve. I was in Christmas-overdose Heaven ! I loved it ! I tried (sometimes unsuccessfully) to refrain from singing along with the Christmas carols, and to remember that I was there to sell newspaper subscriptions, and not seranade the people coming in the doors.

Here is Jim Reeves, singing "An Old Christmas Card", which has long been one of my favorites, and I also love his rendition of Silver Bells.
