I have so many but today my favorite is O Little Town Of Bethlehem O little town of Bethlehem How still we see thee lie Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting Light The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight For Christ is born of Mary And gathered all above While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering love O morning stars together Proclaim the holy birth And praises sing to God the King And Peace to men on earth
How silently, how silently The wondrous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heaven. No ear may hear His coming, But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive him still, The dear Christ enters in. O holy Child of Bethlehem Descend to us, we pray Cast out our sin and enter in Be born to us today We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell O come to us, abide with us Our Lord Emmanuel Rector Phillips Brooks (1835-1903) http://www.carols.org.uk/o_little_town_of_bethlehem.htm

- o rly, Sand?I have 2 - when I'm in good spirits - I love hearing this one over and over~ Perry Como Winter Wonderland (although Christmas isn't actually mentioned - when else do you hear sleigh bells lol right?) & my mushpot Moon over in house 9 delighting in the miseries of the season ~ with its Chiron companion --- likes.... KATTUN White X'Mas *the sad part is I'm not joking I cry whenever I hear it. >.<; --- I think the next closest for me would be Silent Night, definitely

I'd have to think about it, but the ones at the top of my list would be those by Cryptkeeper (like Juggle Bills) to many adapted to the Cthulhu mythos (like I'm Dreaming of a Dead City and Do You Fear What I Fear?). But then I've always had a graveyard sense of humor. When I was a small child I think Silver Bells was my favorite, it was just so pretty. Oh, I know! Dar William's The Christians and the Pagans: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_KiHRHwaAs I LOVE that one, it's feel good, appropriate, and makes me laugh. IP: Logged |

When I was a child we would always listen to the Bing Crosby christmas album. It is totally interlinked with happy childhood memories for me.As a kid I especially loved "Silver Bells", "Christmas in Killarney" and "Adeste fideles" (maybe this song was the reason I became Latin teacher after all ).

I'm not Catholic, but I find this profound.Mary did you know that your baby boy will one day walk on water? Mary did you know that your baby boy will save our sons and daughters? Did you know that your baby boy has come to make you new? This child that you've delivered, will soon deliver you. Mary did you know that your baby boy will give sight to a blind man? Mary did you know that your baby boy will calm a storm with his hand? Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod? And when you kiss your little baby, you have kissed the face of God. The blind will see, the deaf will hear and the dead will live again. The lame will leap, the dumb will speak, the praises of the lamb. Mary did you know that your baby boy is Lord of all creation? Mary did you know that your baby boy will one day rule the nations? Did you know that your baby boy is Heaven's perfect Lamb? This sleeping child you're holding is the great I am.

Today, in remembrance of the life of John Lennon So This Is Christmas So this is Christmas And what have you done? Another year over And a new one just begun. And so this is Christmas I hope you have fun The near and the dear one The old and the young. A very Merry Christmas And a Happy New Year Let's hope it's a good one Without any fear. And so this is Christmas For weak and for strong For rich and the poor ones The world is so wrong. And so this is Christmas For black and for white For yellow and red ones Let's stop all the fight. A very Merry Christmas And a Happy New Year Let's hope it's a good one Without any fear. So this is Christmas And what have you done? Another year over And a new one just begun. And so this is Christmas I hope you have fun The near and the dear one The old and the young. A very Merry Christmas And a Happy New Year Let's hope it's a good one Without any fear. War is over! If you want it War is over! Now!

Too many to mention, however the delivery method....church bells.....Sitting in this small Midwest Indiana town, in a lovely 19th century Victorian mansion, across the street from the church bells, complete with the sound of shod horse hooves puling Amish buggies on the pavement...... Ahhhh Christmas songs! IP: Logged |

Frank Sinatra - Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOLEjOj9LOw Judy Garland - Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfCXjD1KTu0 The Cat Carol - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29N10-TQ9KE The last one is new :3. What can i say - I'm not a carol type of guy, I haven't sang any carols in the last 16 years... as for XMAS songs - i used to like the ones from Frank Sinatra - but now, they feel kinda nostalgic - so... can't say i put them on in XMAS time, yet - accidentally... i might hear them on the bus or in a bar/club... ^^ IP: Logged |

Do You Hear What I Hear?Said the night wind to the little lamb Do you see what I see Way up in the sky little lamb Do you see what I see A star, a star Dancing in the night With a tail as big as a kite With a tail as big as a kite Said the little lamb to the sheperd boy Do you hear what I hear Ringing through the sky sheperd boy Do you hear what I hear A song, a song High above the tree With a voice as big as the sea With a voice as big as the sea Said the shepard boy to the mighty king Do you know what I know In your palace wall mighty king Do you know what I know A child, a child Shivers in the cold Let us bring him silver and gold Let us bring him silver and gold Said the king to the people everywhere Listen to what I say Pray for peace people everywhere Listen to what I say The child, the child Sleeping in the night He will bring us goodness and light He will bring us goodness and light The child, the child Sleeping in the night He will bring us goodness and light IP: Logged |

Is there a hidden message in the song? "With a tail as big as a kite." Sounds like a comet!------------------ "Fall down 100 times, get up 101...this is success." --ME IP: Logged |

Silent Night Silent night, holy night All is calm, all is bright Round yon Virgin Mother and Child Holy Infant so tender and mild Sleep in heavenly peace Sleep in heavenly peace Silent night, holy night! Shepherds quake at the sight Glories stream from heaven afar Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia! Christ, the Saviour is born Christ, the Saviour is born Silent night, holy night Son of God, love's pure light Radiant beams from Thy holy face With the dawn of redeeming grace Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth "
