What is your favorite Christmas song?
I grew up singing German songs for Christmas in our little Lutheran church and still remember "Kling Glichen" and ending Christmas Eve service with "Stille Nacht". In college I learned a medieval song "Adam Lay Embounded" and my children learned in their school "Bring a Torch Jeannette Isabella". I also like "Coventry Carol" from our time in England, and we decorate our tree by "Once in David's Royal City. I love to hear and sing along to many more. What songs do you enjoy?
|
Silent Night, Silver Bells, sleigh Ride.
|
Away in the manager is my favorite...
|
Silent night at Christmas is a favorite of mine. I like all the Christmas songs but that on seems to stand out the most
|
"Do you hear what I hear?" and "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day" "Coventry Carol" and "Bring a torch Jeannette Isabella" are good too.
|
When I was a kid I would have solos for the youth choir. Silent Night and Away in the Manger were always my favorite.
Unfortunately I nearly lost my voice permanently due to severe repeated "tonsilitis" when I was 12. You don't want me to sing now!! |
'White Christmas' by Bing Crosby is my secular favorite. For traditional Christmas carols, I really like 'Oh Holy Night'.

Angels We have Heard on High and White Christmas are my favorites. We always ring in the holiday on Thanksgiving evening by watching White Christmas.
|
O Little Town of Bethlehem, Hark the Harold Angels Sing, It Came Upon the Midnight Clear
|
Oh Holy Night is my favorite. It brings to mind a church with a steeple set high on a hill that we drove by on the way to my aunt's house every Christmas Eve when I was a kid. There was always snow on the ground.
|
My favorite is "Mary Did You Know?" You can hear it on you tube . Brings me to tears every time I hear it.
|
O Holy Night and Christmas in Dixie.
|
Silent Night is my favorite. I sometimes go to a National Park near here and climb a mountain path and sing it for me on Christmas eve.

|
"Who is He in Yonder Stall" is my favorite, especially as it's performed by the SMS men's choral group. I tear up every time I hear this song.
|
"O, Holy Night"and "Little Drummer Boy" for Traditional and Dolly Parton's "Hard Candy Christmas" for my Secular one!
|
My favorite is Auld Lang Syne.
My favorite carol is Oh Holy Night. |
I like them all, but my new favorite is - Becky Kelley - Where's the Line to See Jesus. I have never heard it on the radio, but it is such a very true Christian song. Here is a link to it, I hope that you will give it a listen. I always cry while listening to it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OExXItDyWEY

I was trying very hard to remember a german christmas song with the name "Kling Glichen" until the bell rang! It is called "Kling Glöckchen" and means ring little bell. I love that song too and look forward to christmas and singing all those traditional songs with children and grandchildren. |
All I Want For Christmas Is You. I like all the old ones and almost, if not all new ones. Ones with a lively beat appeals to me also.
|
Mine is Mary did you know and O Holy Night. I love all things Christmas, but this year I am having trouble getting myself going. It is was to warm here for christmas. I want and seem to need snow. For me that is a big part of my christmas tradition. I love snow. the more the better.
|
Our small Lutheran church always ends Christmas Eve services with candle light and Silent Night....but I have love for O Holy Night, too.
|
Winter Wonderland has always been my favorite along with Silent Night I love all the old original Christmas music
|
Father christmas by emerson lake and palmer...christmas cant come till i hear it.
the song is so beautiful. Also, if youre hoping to see someone, thats when i started to love it about 30 yrs ago. Go to you tube and listen, not what you think. No " loud" music, very nice melody. |
Silver Bells because it was my mom's favorite I think of her each times I hear it even though she has been gone 30 years
|
What Child Is This?, Mary Did You Know?, O Holy Night, It Came Upon The Midnight Clear.
|
I love to sing Oh Holy Night, I'm Dreaming of A White Christmas, The Messiah, Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire.
It's that beautiful time of year for music to lift the spirits and share with others. We are alone and it's our saving grace. How about Mannheim Steamroller? Joyful Holidays! |
Bring a Torch Jeanette Isabelle and O holy Night
|
First and foremost - o Holy Night. I love most Christmas songs. I'll Be Home for Christmas is also played a lot when one of my children can't be here- which is every year it seems. The Gatlin Brothers sing Sweet Baby Jesus and it brings tears to my eyes.
|
"Mary Did You Know"
|
http://youtu.be/wJH9ToUdMBQ, http://youtu.be/1wqoFg6Vabo, There are others, but these two are good examples. Australian Christmas is in the middle of Summer. It generally has a temperature around 30 degrees Celsius but can get into the 40s.
|
Silent Night always brings a tear to my eye. I love all the Mannheim Steam Roller adaptations of the Christmas songs.
|
Silent night, Away in the manger, and oh there are so many..
|
The Little Drummer Boy and White Christmas
|
O Holy Night is my absolute favorite & the right people have to sing it. Some have done a "not such Holy" performance but if people like Celine Dion & some others who have powerful voices perform it, it brings tears to my eyes.
|
Well, this is going to sound bad but when my kids were young, we loved 'Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer!' We played it LOUD while we put up the tree!! I still love it - sentimental memories ;-) I also love the Grinch theme....I know....I'm twisted! As for a "traditional" Christmas song, 'Do You Hear What I Hear?' wins out!
|
One of my favorites is "Mary did you know"
|
I have 3 favorites. "Do you hear what I hear?", "The Little Drummer Boy," and the John and Yoko song... " So this is Christmas." (I think that is the title...it could be "War is Over")
|
My favorite has always been "Oh Holy Night". When I was in grade school, I was in the choir and we did that song in 3-part harmony. It was beautiful. In the past few years, a new one came out, "Mary, did you Know?". It is beautiful, too.
|
Midnight mass wouldn't be the same without four of my favorite songs -- Angels We Have Heard On High, Away in a Mnager, Silent Night at the close of Communion and leaving to Joy to the World!
Modern day ... Mary Did You Know? Where's the Line to See Jesus? Secular - White Christmas, No Place Like Home for the Holidays, Silver Bells. |
