So here are my top five Christmas songs:
1. O Holy Night--This is my top song and I don't have a particular version that I prefer--I just love this song!
2. All I Want For Christmas Is You (My Chemical Romance version)--I pretend that Gerard is singing it to me!
3. Mary's Boy Child by "Boney M"--This is such a fun song and I don't seem to hear it very often, so I'm always excited when it comes on the radio.
4. Blue Christmas (Elvis version)--I never get sick of this one.
5. Holly Jolly Christmas (Burl Ives)--I've love this song and the Rudolph movie that I've been watching my whole life!
What are your top five?

Mary's Boy Child is my favorite Christmas carol...I love it so much. My Hubby and I went walking at Busch Gardens and they were playing Christmas carols!!!
O Holy Night is my all-time favorite Christmas song, too! One of my favorite renditions of it is by the Oak Ridge Boys, actually... :)
I'm such a Christmas nut; I have 23 Christmas CDs stacked next to my computer right now to load into iTunes for my iPod. (I just got it for Christmas last year so I haven't had a chance to load it up for the holidays yet!)
Other favorite Christmas songs -
- The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire) by Mel Torme
- Have Yourself a Merry, Little Christmas from my John Denver and the Muppets Christmas album that I've had since I was a kid
- Happy Holiday/The Holiday Season by Andy Williams
- Mary Did You Know? ... maybe the Kenny Rogers version; don't really have a favorite
I could go on and on, I adore Christmas! :D
We try to follow the same rule, but the radio stations are playing Christmas 24/7!
I am a sucker for:
1. Silver Bells (Reminds me of my grandparents for some reason.)
2. Star of Wonder by Bare Naked Ladies.
3. All I want for Christmas- Mariah Carey
That is all I can think of right now : )
I am SO adding Money m to my holiday mix! Just when I was thinking I needed some more Jamaican-religious-groove sounds for the holidays and then you just give me the PERFECT song!
Oh...and the mosaic thing...if you google mosaic maker it will take you to this website (bighugelabs...something or other) and just follow the instructions and it like makes it for you! If I can do it, well, like anyone can :)
Hands down Christmas Cannon. Love it! About cry when I hear it. I just downloaded it for my blog.
Next is Do you hear what I hear? I can't think of the artist in the version I like but it is a real rich deep voice, and was made in the 60's.
LOVE CHRISTmas!
Still can't do it until after Thanksgiving day.
It's a must that you listen to Christmas music starting the second week in November. A must I tell you! I love Frosty The Snowman by the Ronnelles or the Ronnettes (I forget which it is)
Great list! I love all of the carols... & listen to them all the time during the holidays. Hard to believe Christmas is so close, huh?
I love all those songs too...and I agree...you don't hear Mary's Boy child too often. I like Kelly Clarkson's version of Oh Holy Night..whomever is singing it really needs to belt it out....it gives me goosebumps!!!
I love Its a Wonderful World too....the original version..no redeos...
I love Christmas! I love the music.
I agree with Becky, "Do you hear what I hear".
That is my favorite!
I still can't listen yet but those are some great versions.
I love O Holy Night. I sing it every year at my moms church for her...and like you I have broken down and started listening to Christmas music already as well!
I have never heard of Mary's Boy Child in my life!!! How did that happen...very peppy tune!!!
O Holy Night is by far my favorite hymn.... love every version of it!
Also love "Do you hear what I hear" & "Mary did you know"
My favorite 2 albums are the Bing Crosby and Elvis Christmas! I don't think I could pick 5 songs...I love almost every one!
But I don't like that Christmas Shoes song. There. I said it.
I've started listening, too! One of the stations on Sirius has been playing nothing but Christmas music for awhile now. And yep, I've already started wrapping, too!
O Holy Night is my all-time favorite Christmas carol. I especially like Josh Groban's version. In fact, I love his Christmas CD he did last year!
I like Holly Jolly Christmas, too. And Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree!
I am about half way done with my shopping...I can't wrap them yet though. My boys will peek! I love any and all Christmas music.
girl I am with ya on this! We even put up one of our trees TODAY, we've NEVER put it up before Thanksgiving. OK my faves:
1. O Holy Night sung by Michael Crawford
2. The First Noel preferably by Vanessa Williams
3. Mary Did You Know?
4. A Strange Way To Save The World
5. Peace On Earth/Little Drummer Boy by David Bowie and Bing Crosby
I could just go on and on...
PS Don't forget my giveaway!!
Thanks for my introduction to Chemical Romance! Fun version of the song. And, I'll admit, I'd never heard the Mary's Boy Child song, either. I quite enjoyed the skinny guy with his shiny silver pants dancing to the beat and looking totally out of place. :) Hmmm, top 5 Christmas songs - O Holy Night is definitely up there, Carol of the Bells (I especially like the Destiny's Child version and the Trans Siberian Orchestra with Metallica - I think it's Metallica - version. Away in a Manger - it just brings back sweet childhood memories. For my 4th choice, I'm going to collectively say the Christmas songs from the original Home Alone - love all those classic songs. And # 5, possibly The Little Drummer Boy. I love Christmas tunes.
1. Sleighride.
2. Winter Wonderland.
3. Grownup Christmas List (Amy Grant).
4. Holly Jolly Christmas
5. Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time (Paul McCartney).
Um let's see. I love Away in a Manger, Last Christmas by George Michael (I know, I know), O' Christmas Tree, O Come All Ye Faithful....I think I need to find some new favs...I sound like an old lady.
NO!!! Not George Michael Cathy! Noooooooo!!
Way to get into the Christmas spirit!
My favorite Christmas songs? How kind of you to ask...nobody has ever asked me before! ;)
I love "Do you hear what I hear"...and the Little Drummer Boy is beautiful...and the Transiberian Christmas cannon is pretty too (or I Think that is the one I like - it is the one that sounds like Pachelbel's Canon?)
I am really in the spirit this year, too. I don't know what's gotten into me!
My favorite songs are The First Noel and Away in a Manger.
