It’s an obscure song that maybe many of you have never heard but my fav is the classic banger ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ by Mariah Carey…. 😀😀😀😀

 

 

Years ago, I worked in a retail store. During Christmas, Christmas music played non-stop. I got so sick of it, to this day, almost 40 years later, I still can’t stand listening to any Christmas music.

Something about Christmas Time - Bryan Adams

 

Dominic the Donkey - Lou Monte 

The days of Franks Sinatra & Bing Crosby Christmas music have long past.

And some might feel like they are gone forever.

Heard this one the other day

“Father Christmas” by the Kinks

 

“Snoopy’s Christmas” by the Royal Guardsman 

 

Two solid Xmas songs that usually fly under the radar.

John Berry's "Mary Did You Know" and "O Holy Night". Went to his Christmas concerts for many years.

Toss up for between between Last Christmas by Wham and Father Christmas by the Kinks. Also have a soft spot for Christmas wrapping by The Waitresses from my days cutting meat in a grocery store.

I turn into a blubbering idiot every time I first hear “little drummer boy” especially by Bob Seger but I’ll listen to any version I can find with a close second being David Bowie & Bing Crosby. I also play Trans Siberian Orchestra in my work truck at this point.

I’m right there with you. 18 years of it from November 26 to December 25, 12 to 14 hours a day.  But, so I don’t appear to be calloused, I don’t mind Leon Redbone’s Frosty the Snowman. 😏

Bing Crosby had a voice of gold for me at Christmas time. I do like Mary did you know by penatinox  there is so much emotion behind that when they preform it.

Mark me down too.

 

One of the stations I Iisten to all year (classic rock) turns their music to holiday crap around Nov 15 through New Years. It’s awful. I’d rather listen to AM fuzz than holiday music.

I'm kinda fond of this...

 

 

Blue Christmas by Elvis. Pretty good tune

Classic

I sort of like all the stuff that the rockers put their touch to.  

I can’t set there and listen to any Christmas music for hours on end, but I like popular and classic Christmas songs that are associated with the holiday also.

Heck yes haha. 

 

Here's my favs:

1. "The Christmas Song" by Nat King Cole is my favorite album. It has a lot of the "classic" Christmas carols that I love so much. 

2. "A Family Christmas" by Andrea Bocelli, his son, and his grand daughter is one of our favorites too. I can't listen to it on repeat, but it's very precious a few times a year. 

3. "Smoky Mountain Christmas" by Al Perkins. Very nice, upbeat bluegrass instrumental album I used to listen to as a child and still enjoy. 

 

Honorable mention to Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Saw them live as a teenager and still love remembering that moment. 

Classics would be

Rocking Around the Christmas Tree - Brenda Lee

 

Holly Jolly Christmas- Burl Ives
