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?

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.

| 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 |

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...

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?

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

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 like to have my own little Christmas in July. I crank the ac, play Christmas music and watch Christmas movies with cocoa in hand :)

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".

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
