'Jingle bells jingle bells'- I learned this song when I was in nursery. This song always reminds me Christmas.

Barbara Streisand, The Best Gift.

I was originally told I couldn't have any children. My first child was born December 5th, which made this song perfect for me. The words still make me cry.

See the lyrics here.

In addition to the ones I mentioned, the song "The Christmas Shoes" has a special place in my heart. The first time I ever heard it was on the way to the airport the day after my mom's funeral in December 2000. I know that for a lot of people that might make it a bad song for them, but for me it just brings back memories of how wonderful my mom was, and how (as in the song), "Mama made Christmas good at our house."

there is no way to list them all, hehe
But, I have to hear these no matter what.

Santa Baby - Eartha Kitt
Rockin around the Christmas tree - Brenda Lee
The Nutcracker Suite
Any Trans Siberian Orchestra, especially, Carol of the Bells

I can't forget the 12 pains of Christmas - Bob Rivers Comedy Group
The list is endless once you get to the crooners, Bing, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole...
My list of favorite songs will fill almost 4 cds.

You sound like me texasgirl! I have almost as many Christmas CDs as regular ones and they are at least a third of my mp3 player. I'd never be able to list them all! I will say that In the Bleak Midwinter and Little Drummer Boy are two of my all time faves.

"Merry Christmas, Darling" by the Carpenters is very special to me. Makes me weepy, every time I hear it.

"Mary's Boy Child" by Boney M is my favorite happy Christmas song.

Josh Groban's "O Holy Night" thrills me to my toes.

Ohhhhh, yes, expat!! Your third one down is titled "Do You Hear What I Hear?" and it's one of my favorites, too!

At work, I hear the Bing Crosby version 8 times a day. Nice, but Ed Ames' version is my favorite.

(Ed Ames, IMO, deserves far more recognition as an incredible voice than he ever got. Dean Martin, too!)

Thanks for that, Barbara. Amazingly, DH said he had never heard that song before, so I had to play it for him

I'm not sure if I've I have heard Ed Ames' sing it but I love Bing Crosby's, Perry Como's and Ann Murray's renditions.........will see if I can find him on a DVD

All of you have given great ideas for others......in the spirit of the holidays
