Favorite Christmas song(s).

[ArticShadow]

Didn't really find a thread about this so I figured I start one. Title says it all what's your favorite Christmas song or songs and why?

Mine is Flyleaf Christmas Song it is simply stunning and beautiful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SfD-2my4uw

I prefer all the good old classics by Bing Crosby, Irving Berlin, etc.

Uh....uh... *looks around frantically at all the Christmas songs*

Too many!  I like them all.  

However, I do particularly enjoy when the radio plays "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time."

EDIT: I would have linked to it, and I just watched this video maybe a few weeks ago...it's been on since last year, but the copyright police finally caught it!  Darn...  It's probably somewhere on Youtube, or elsewhere.

Either Christmas Eve Sarajevo or Wizards in Winter by Trans-Siberian Orchestra. I also like more swing style songs like what I've heard from the likes of Brian Setzar Orchestra, but I rarely hear them. Most of the Chrstmas stations I hear on the radio either play the same old stuff day after day, or music so somber that I want to go to sleep (not good for a trucker, btw ). I thought Christmas was supposed to be a joyous time of year, but one can only take so many different variations of Jingle Bells and Silent night!

I tend to look for the more unique Christmas songs, especially those that occupy the metal and neoclassical genres…

A few favorites of mine would be…
August Burns Red - Carol of the Bells
Kamelot - We Three Kings
Orion's Reign - The First Noel
Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12/24)

Some of the new Christmas songs, the remakes, are incredibly annoying. I like the super old stuff, it's amazing, and it's unfortunate that you don't hear them more often... Radio stations apparently favor the new stuff over classics. :x

I'm not really big on Christmas songs. the only one I can think of that I like is the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's "Wizards in Winter".

Freezey Eezey Peak count? Sure. To me

You know Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer was almost a song that never was? When it was recorded, it was on the B side of the tape, because the recording artist figured it wouldn't be a good seller and basically did it just to get the composer off his back lol.

I prefer all the good old classics by Bing Crosby, Irving Berlin, etc.

Ditto. I've got too many faves to count, but Fairytale of New York is a (more recent) classic.

Dunno if you guys are familiar with The Darkness, but they did the excellent Christmas Time (Don't Let the Bells End) which should be watched now if you seriously need to get into the Christmas spirit.

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, by Bing Crosby has always been one of my favourites, but I also love Don't Shoot Me Santa by The Killers.
Until I got a CD player at about 10 years old, all I had was a cassette player and a single tape of christmas carols to listen to.

The Xmas songs I can't stand are Hip Hop, Rap, and just about any other modern performer. 

And I almost forgot, I do like Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
