Oh Holy night is my fave, too. It gives me goose bumps cos it represents "Christmas" and the true meaning of it. There is a FANTASTIC version by Tevin Campbell on A very special Christmas Volume 2, and Ann Murray does a shiver version as well. I love it..
And, I love all I want for christmas is you, Rock around the christmas tree, jungle bell rock, Feliz Navidad and Snoopy - its not Chrsitmas witout snoopy... ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |

'Fairy tale of new york' sends shivers down my spine, even after all these years - I think it is my obsession with Kirsty maColl that does that. Such a waste for her to die so young
And i love the 'Drummer Boy", and 'good king Wenceslas'. Most christmas songs with snow in make me home sick this time of year (even though it rarely snows this time of year at home) ------------- http://www.babysfirstsite.com">

i don't really have a fave..........although i must say, i can't stand 'all i want for christmas is you'  maybe if it was sung by someone other than mariah it would be ok
i think the radio stations have killed my love for snoopy's christmas too bah humbug!  ------------- http://www.alternatickers.com">

Oh my gosh, I've made it so far this festive season without hearing Snoopy's Christmas, and I'll be overjoyed if I make it the entire way!
I love O Holy Night. In fact most of my favourites are the ones we used to sing at school - or at Christmas Mass when I was a kid. -------------

I Saw Mummy Kissing Santa Claus - By T. Connor
I saw Mummy kissing Santa Claus Underneath the mistletoe last night She didn't see me creep Down the stairs to have a peep She thought that I was tucked up in my bedroom fast asleep Then I saw Mummy kissing Santa Claus Underneath his beard so snowy white Oh, what a laugh it would have been If Daddy had only seen Mummy kissing Santa Claus last night and "Santa Clause is coming to town" ------------- TTC #2 |

I love the pogues Fairy tale of New York
but the eagles "Please come home for Christmas" is the best ever. I will sing along to most Christmas songs as my Dad was obsessed with them when I was little, so we would listen to them for a good month before Christmas so they remind me of him .------------- Mum to Natasha Aroha 9/12/1995, Alexandra Makareta Waimarie 22/4/1998 and....Alyssa Frances Hopaea 18/03/2007
