What's that one Holiday?

[Data Holmes]

Seems like everyone has that one holiday song which they just love, above all the others. The one that they always look forward toward every year. The one that it doesn't matter who does it, or how it's arraigned, they always love it.

What is yours?


For me, It's always Carol of Bells.

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

Jingle Bell Rock. I love that song something fierce.

 

[JonathonWally]

The First Nowell, especially this version done by Eric Johnson.

[Niorah]

Oh Holy Night. It always gets me all emotional and goosebumpy.

And Happy Christmas by John Lennon.

brings tears to my eyes everytime I watch it.

Not strictly a Christmas song originally, but they play it at Christmas all the time. I like it:

It reminds me of working the on-call shifts on 25th December...

Not the original, but the a nice version I found on youtube:

(hehe, I just found out that I have no idea how to get embedded video to work here)

I hear this cropping up more and more in movie scenes to establish the time of the scene being near christmas.

 

[RoJoHen]

"Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays" by N*Sync...obviously.

 

[Kestra]

last Christmas I gave you my heart
but the very next day you gave it away
this year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

I'll be home for Christmas by Bing. Just perfect.

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

 

[Alidar Jarok]

Nevermore, good choice with the Pogues song. I'm going to add some Transiberian Orchestra to the list because Christmas is nothing without a little prog

That's a beautiful song. That and Judy Garland singing "Merry Little Christmas" always have the power to bring a tear to my eye, and the two are among my favorites.

For traditional songs I'd say "O, Holy Night". It has one of the most beautiful melodies ever written. For modern songs I love "Christmas Time is Here", and Mariah Carey singing "All I Want For Christmas Is You". In fact, the Charlie Brown Christmas album is one of my all time favorites and would likely go on my desert island top ten.

 

[Gaseous Anomaly]

This one.

I will also say that New Year's Day wouldn't be New Year's Day without...

quickly followed up with...

[RJDiogenes]

Probably either "Hark, The Herald Angels Sing" or "Little Drummer Boy." Here are great versions of both:
