We all have our favorite Christmas songs, standards, pop and novelty.
My father’s side of the family is Scandinavian, so each year we love listening to Yogi Yorgesson’s “I Just Go Nuts At Christmas” (or, I Yust Go Nuts at Kreesmus) and “Jingle Bells” (or, Yingle Bells).
My favorite version of “Frosty the Snowman” is sung by Leon Redbone and Dr. John, with their funky, raspy voices, especially the “thumpity, thump, thump …”
Eartha Kitt’s “Santa Baby” is sexy. Madonna’s version is stupid and annoying. (Two cents.)
The standards of Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, etc. evoke a certain peacefulness appropriate for the holiday season. My favorite – “O Holy Night.”
I love that satellite radio offers a few different Christmas stations so I can choose classic, contemporary, standards, etc whenever I want. We can all revisit Christmas’ of our past, or enjoy where we are now.
What’s your favorite Christmas song?

Want a plane that loops the loop
Me, I want a hula hoop
We can hardly stand the wait
Please Christmas, don’t be late
Alvin & the Chipmunks were certainly my favs as a kid………
When I think about my favorite Christmas songs now it’s “Silver Bells”, but “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” still makes me well up…..great songs for congering up fond memories.

I don’t think your first two choices can be beat, but silver bells is especially lovely, espcially if sung by Julie Andrews

It doesn’t seem like Christmas unless I hear Gene Autry’s version of Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer.

I love the music and the message in “The Little Drummer Boy”
