Christmas music  

I guess I'm a die=hard oldies/original christmas music fan. i hear these current singers singing a song and adding in the oh's and ah's and long notes and other embellishments and it just isn't the christmas song. Can't stand to listen to it.

I think my favorite will always be The Holly and the Ivy, simply because George Winston's rendition of it is so beautiful. I had actually never heard the song before listening to George Winston play it, and after I heard a more original version of it, I was quite disappointed. It was like listening to a car drive down the road with square wheels. He made the song sound so much smoother (round wheels), and the phrases glide the way I expect them to glide.

I have always liked The Carol of the Bells, probably because I am big on multiple voices (it's probably the choir girl in me).

My all time favorite Christmas song is "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" by Gayla Peevey. It is the silliest, stupidest thing that I've ever heard and it absolutely makes me giggle every time I hear it. It totally gets me in the mood for Christmas.

Merry Christmas!!!!!

My favourite christmas music is an album by Corinne May. It has the traditional carols but sung in a new touching way.

I also like the traditional carols Hark the Herald Angels Sing and O Holy Night. I'm singing a medley of songs in church on Christmas service but that's a new arrangement including some lines from Angels we have Heard on High.

Merry Christmas!

My favourite Christmas song is 'Last Christmas' by Wham. This is deliberately the most popular song broadcasted by the radio.

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell rock
