I have carols on the radio playing from right after Halloween to after New Year's. In the car, at home...all the time. I never tire of them. What is your favorite? I have two all time favorites: White Christmas by Bing Crosby, and Have a Holly Jolly Christmas by Burl Ives. It's even my phone ringtone during December. Drives dh crazy 'cause it is our morning alarm, too. I can still see Burl Ives as a snowman gliding across the tv screen on Rudolph...such a happy memory as a kid. What's your favorite song at Christmas?

Love the Christmas in July idea, too, Sharon! I love how there's Christmas music nonstop on one of our radio stations here. I also plug my iPad into a speaker and listen to AOL holiday oldies or Pandora. Love Bing Crosby and Dean Martin singing any carols. I also like Mary's Boy Child by Bony M. Sounds old. And Mel, Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer makes me giggle still.
Merry Christmas,
Nicole

I haven't heard it recently, but I LOVE The Holly and the Ivy by Erin Bode, who is a St. Louis native. Also her version of "I Wonder as I Wander".

Nicole, I am just like you!! I listen to the car radio, I keep Christmas CD's in my car, from Nov. 1st till the End of January! I really hear a Christmas song from Oct 1st, because I play the Best of Charlie Brown CD for Fall and it has Christmas Time is Here at the end. I have a under the counter radio-Dc player in my Bathroom and Kitchen. We have music in every room of our house! If it is warm outside, I turn the radio on in the storage barn! LOL!! My favorite is "Little Altar Boy" by Karen Carpenter
"Pretty Paper", by Roy Orbison
"Carol of the Bells" and "Silent Night."

I LOVE CHRISTMAS MUSIC...and as someone else said, "Is there any bad Christmas Songs?" I love them all.
My favorites are: Mary Did You Know, O'Holy Night, Silent Night and going a ways back "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa
Claus", Rocken Around The Christmas Tree, Jingle Bells, Carol of The Bells, Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer".
I JUST REALLY LOVE THEM ALL and start listening to Christmas Music in October...as one Month just isn't enough.
Love and Merry Christmas,
Peggy

I like Home for the Holidays. I used to play in on piano every year and I know all the words. Silver Bells is so pretty, too. It's always the memory you have associated with the song, don't ya think?

Mary did you know, by Kenny Rogers and Wynona has been a fav since the first time I heard it, and love Jingle Bells, it brings back so many wondreful childhood memories...almost forgot, Little Drummer Boy by Bing Crosby and David Bowie...

Are there any "bad" Christmas songs? I think my favorites are "Christmas Shoes" and "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day" by Casting Crowns... I also really like "A Strange Way to Save the World" and then the "traditional ones" like O Holy Night, Mary Did You Know, O Little Town of Bethlehem, and Silent Night |

I love Have A Holly Jolly Christmas and so does my son. I also love Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) and all the usual suspects. Rudolph (the original!), Frosty, etc. I think my favorite Christmas hymn is by far Oh Holy Night. Makes me cry.
