- Do You Hear What I Hear
- We Three Kings Of Orient Are
That said, one my favorite Christmas CDs is John Denver and the Muppets which features none of my favorite songs
I also love Carol of the Bells, but it now reminds me of the Noël episode of The West Wing whenever I hear it. Not that that's a bad thing.

O Holy Night is my favorite too! I am also particular because I sang that song years ago in a Christmas concert and know ever note and not many get it right. The Best version I have heard is by Josh Groban. The man has a voice of an Angel.
Let's see
Classics would be
- O Holy Night
- The First Noel
- It's the most Wonderful Time of the year
- Silver Bells
- We Need A Little Christmas
Now some of my favorite contemporaries would be:
Tennessee Christmas by Alabama
This Gift by 98 Degrees
Let it Be Christmas by Alan Jackson (such a pretty song)
All I want for Christmas is You by LeeAnne Rhimes
All I want for Christmas is You by Mariah Carey (They are two different songs)
Believe by Josh Groban
Christmas/ Sarajevo 12/24 [Instrumental] by Trans-Siberian Orchestra
This Christmas Time by Lonestar
Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) Darlene Love
Please Come Home For Christmas by various artists I forget which version I like best.
My Most listen to Christmas albums:
Home For Christmas by Amy Grant
This Christmas Time by Lonestar
This Christmas by 98 Degrees
Merry Christmas by Mariah Carey
Noel by Josh Groban
These are the CDs that get put on repeat well now they are mp3 but you get the idea.
I have over 700 Christmas CDs now in the cloud. I love classics, I love new songs, I love pretty much anything about Christmas.
I think Noel by Josh Groban is one of the best Christmas CD I have come across in a long time.
Our family motto Christmas song is If We Make is Through December by Merle Haggard. Cry like a baby and never can sing along. Too many memories I guess. This year it's too real to listen to it.
Some really old Classics by the greats would be
It's beginning to look alot like Christmas
Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree
White Christmas
I'll Be Home For Christmas
Mistletoe and Holly
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
The two Christmas songs I don't want to hear in a long time because I have heard it like 90 times by so many different artists this year it annoying and on Slacker Radio I banned the two songs. I want a hippopotamus for Christmas & Baby It's Cold outside. No more!
