You're so very welcome. I think this is my favorite, for sure, but I'm partial to the McGarrigle Sisters version with Rufus and Martha Wainwright--but then, I'm just a freak folky girl :)

My all all time favorite is Oh Holy Night sung by Andy Williams

I remember watching this on TV as a kid.

For me it is "The Holly and the Ivy" it is really Xmas time when I hear that song.

Excuse the mess & the noise, my children are making happy memories |

I love so many already listed - but another on the James Taylor Christmas CD is Who Comes This Night - also very good

Rocking Around the Christmas Tree reminds me of my mom - she loved that song. And Dominic the Italian Christmas Donkey always makes me smile. Thanks for the memories...
I also remember watching Andy Williams' Christmas show.

I like so many Christmas songs. I am really partial to Kathy Mattea's CD "Good News" from back in the '90's. There are so many good songs on it: Nothing But a Child, Brightest and Best, Mary Did You Know, There's a New Kid in Town.

Sabrina, Still, Still, Still? I have never heard this before but since it was a German carol I wanted to listen (my great grandmother immigrated to this country to marry my Swedish grandfather) Her name was Hermina Carolina Frederika Schmidt) I keep a photo of her on my desk.
It's haunting and makes me very sad....I found a version that the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sings that's on you tube and all I can say is...oh my...it's so beautiful!
