Just listened to some of my favorites!
Christmas music is awesome

I love Jackie Evancho's Christmas album as well as Josh Groban's "Noel". I love Julie Andrew's, and "The Carpenter's Christmas Portrait". I really have too many favorites, and I wouldn't want to bore y'all!

My favorite Christmas CD is "John Denver and the Muppets." No matter how many times I listen to it, it always makes me smile.

I honestly really don't like Christmas music. It's the same songs and it starts in October now so it drives me crazy that there's nothing else to listen to on the radio...

That sounds like something I would appreciate.

Found Hanson's Christmas album on youtube and now I am listening to it! Hehehe!

My new favorite is The Carpenter's Christmas Portrait Album. It holds special meaning for me because I had just received this as a gift from a patron at the library I work out. It was so touching and unexpected and it touched my heart. I will cherish this christmas album.

Also, it doesn't hurt that I really like Karen Carpenter.
I really liked their rendition of Ave Maria and Sleigh Ride though.

David Archuleta's album "Christmas From the Heart" is really good. It's mostly covers of classic Christmas songs, but he does have an original song ("Melodies of Christmas") on it as well. I really enjoy it.

I have been listening to Jason Manns.
You should give his Christmas album a try because it's beautiful and simple. Also, it's a wonderful work with other artists and Jason's voice it lovely.

I like Christmas carols in general. I will sing them and sing along with them when they appear on radio etc. The lyrics are stuck in my head for ages and ages.

I love Martina McBride's rendition of "I'll be Home for Christmas".

[Janiac02]

I love to listen to Bing Crosby, and other crooners when it comes to Christmas music. Otherwise I tend to prefer classically trained singers or choral arrangements of carols.

[MelissaRDH]

Duck The Halls was surprisingly very good!

[Tanaya]

The Home Alone soundtrack is superb.

There was a song I used to love when I was a kid. Hold on while I find the lyrics...

Toyland. Toyland.
Little girl and boy land.
While you dwell within it,
You are ever happy then.
Childhood’s joy-land.
Mystic merry Toyland,
Once you pass it’s borders,
You can never return again.

It was so melancholy, and then I liked this one:

Sleep well, little children
Wherever you are
Tomorrow is Christmas
Beneath every star
Soon the snowflakes will fall
And tomorrow you'll see
Every wish, one and all
Waiting under the tree

Sleep well, little children
Pleasant dreams through the night
Tomorrow is Christmas
All merry and bright
Soon you'll hear the bells ring
Time for dreams to come true
As the world wakes YOU DREAM
Merry Christmas to you

Personally, I can't stand almost any Christmas song played on the radio. After Pandora became a bit more popular, I branched out and found Straight No Chaser and LOVED their Christmas music! It's a capella and I love their arrangements. The Pentatonix version of Mary Did You Know is fantastic as well

Classic songs such as the Little Drummer Boy are amazing
