year, though...I saw a clip of it last year on another special. I can't even
begin to explain why, but that song just cuts straight through to my emotional
core. <sniff>

but our radio stations have played it every year since, oh,
probably the mid 80s (??)...
It's to the tune of 12 Days of Christmas, but it goes
something like... "The first thing at Christmas that's such
a pain to me... is finding a Christmas tree." And it goes on
and on telling about all the aggravating things about
Christmas... In-laws, hanging the lights ("One goes out, they
ALL go out!!!"), 5 months of bills, etc...
Cracks me up every year!! It's so true, and the people
singing/talking during the song do a great job!! Does anyone
else know what I'm talking about??
You're probably looking more for "traditional" songs in this
poll, but I can't narrow those down to one favorite -- I like
them all!

Yep. its the "12 pains of Christmas" by the Bob Rivers Comedy Corp. its the 1st
cut on the album "Twisted Christmas" 1987 Critique/Atco 90671. should still be
in print.
other goodies on the album include "We wish you weren't living with us" and
"the rest room door said Gentlemen".

by anyone and I still love it.... Also like "Santa Claus is Back in Town"
and "Santa Bring My Baby Back to Me"--both done by Elvis..... they are the
happiest damn Christmas songs....well, the second one isn't really HAPPY, it
just makes me want to be-bop all over the place.
Also, I love to hear Dean Martin sing ANYTHING Christmas, as I said in
response to Sandy's post!

came to mind. The one that I look forward to every year (basically, it just
isn't the holiday season until I hear this one!) is Bruce Springsteen's
recording of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town." Besides being an all-around fun
recording, I love hearing him crack up as they get toward the end of the song!
I have also always been partial to "Sleigh Ride," "The Christmas Song" (aka
"Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire"), "Silver Bells," the entire Charlie Brown
Christmas album, and let's not forget Bob and Doug MacKenzie's interpretation
of the 12 Days of Christmas!!

music to the song O little town of bethlehem. It's by Savatage and the
song is called Christmas Eve, Sarajevo, 12:48. It's just incredibly
awesome.

That's easy. Every song from Elvis's Christmas Album, particularly Blue

I've heard a version of "I'll Be Home For Christmas" by the Beach Boys. I
like the Beach Boys. I like "I'll be Home for Christmas"....
Combine the two, and I'll fall asleep. They drag it out so much that it
makes a good lullaby.
My thoughts...not quite on the right topic...maybe I'll post 'fave' songs
once I've read all of the posts.

Hmm...ones I like, huh?
Ok, I've got the "TV Family Christmas" CD, and while "Can't you see it's
gonna be a Howdy Doody Christmas?" can grate <G>, I love "Christmas is My
Time of Year" by the Monkees or "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" by the
Partridge Family. (thankfully, the Brady Bunch's contribution is "Rudolph"
and not "Frothty the Thnowman").
But Alvin & The Chipmunks Chrismas Song ("Me, I want a Huuuula Hoooop!")
will always take me back.
I'm doing a great job of narrowing it down, aren't I? Nope, I just cannot
pick one. Aside from the ones I've already mentioned, I like "Riu Chiu" by
the Monkees, too. And, though I'll never admit it in front of my parents,
Mario Lanza has a good Christmas Album (heh, family tradition to listen to
Mario while decorating).
Erin - who wishes she could find Al Sherman's "12 Days of Christmas"
around... "And a Japanese transistor radio" <G>

It wouldn't be Christmas without Elvis. I remember curling up under the tree

song and I ended up running out of tape so I got another tape and ran out of
that one too and I still wasnt done!! I have too many to list but some of my
very favorites albums are the ones my mother got in the late 60s and very early
seventies. They were compilation albums made exclusively for and put out by
Grants and JC Penney. They are priceless to me and my sisters. I cannot
replace them and some of the songs I have never heard on radio or seen on other
compilations. Also my mom has the original Gene Autry Christmas record that
has songs on it that later versions on the same record do not have. Christmas
time is so precious to me and those records embody all that it means for me
because my mom played those records every year growing up. I made tapes of
those records, pops and cracks and all, and share them with my daughters. It
isnt Christmas until I hear those songs from those records. Great stuff. I
own 27 Christmas CDs and none are as precious as those four tapes.

me saying they wanted the Partridge family christmas CD. I never saw it out in
the stores (that of course doesnt mean its not there, I just havent seen it at
all) So I finally did what I have been swearing to do since last Christmas. I
went to Amazon.com and ordered it!! Phew!! I am very relieved. I also ordered
the Osmond Christmas CD even though its an edited version from the original
record and some of my fave songs didnt make it on the CD. Well, I feel better
now!! If all else fails, I recommend Amazon if you cant find it anywhere else.

Dont' have to be from the 70's? Then my pick is "Christmas (Baby Please Come
Home)" by Darlene Love.
If it *does* have to be from the 70s, then I would go with "Someday at
Christmas" by Stevie Wonder. In 1989 I edited a video essay of this one for my
TV station, composed of clips of communism falling in various countries (i.e.,
the Berlin Wall coming down).

My favorite Christmas song is Christmas Time Again by Extreme
tied with Bing and David (Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy...
not sure what it's official name is)
It's hard to pick a favourite.. there are so many.

ho! Ho! HO!
What a great thread! Don't know which song to put on first. The
elves, unofficially of course, would put Bing & Bowie's 'Little Drummer
Boy' and ELP's 'Father Christmas' right up top. Lennon's 'So this is
Christmas/War is Over' is another great song, although its more of a
New Years song I find. Of course, any songs from 'the Grinch' are
always favourites around here.
If anyone could possibly need anything more to put them in the
Christmas spirit, there's a wonderful collection of kids Letters to
Santa at the EmailSanta site (Santa makes no money from this site --
the letters were just too great not to share. Had radio stations from
Alaska to Delaware and newspapers from NY Times to San Diego calling to
get more. Ended up putting out a daily 'press release' of Santa's Top
Letters that we'll have to do again this year).
Anyway, looking at all the song titles and thinking of the letters has
certainly put everyone here into the Christmas spirit. I'll have to
sneak a few cookies in between the Hallowe'en candy (*wink*)!
Merry Christmas!

"I Believe In Father Christmas" has to be my favorate. It brings tears to my
eyes. I also love "Come Home For Christmas" by the Eagles.
Kelly

World", Amy Grant's two: "Emmanuel" and "O Little Town of Bethlehem".
But my REAL favorite is a very, very obscure version of "Mary's Boy-Child" that
gets frequent radio air-play in Richmond, VA every X-mas on the am station WRVA
1140. It's the Harry Belafonte song done by a choir in either Jamaica or the
Bahamas. It's got bongo drums and is very danceable. It was recorded in the
60's or 70's and I have never seen it in stores. It has a groovy
counter-melody sung by this almost robot-like voice that's very deep. does
ANYONE have any idea what I'm talking about??

mind if they 'borrowed' your idea and added a similar poll to the

also talking about adding polls for favourite animated Christmas shows,

Sorry, it was Brenda Lee on the good old Decca label. flip side was Papa

Drummer Boy". When I first heard of its existence, I was utterly
horrified at the prospect, I just couldn't see the two voices going
together at all, and then when I heard it, I was blown away by how
well it worked.
I doubt there's ever been a duet of two more dissimilar artists, and
yet for some mad reason, it worked perfectly.

Yeah, that makes it all the more eerie. Eerier still is that around
the same time, Bowie appeared on two other TV shows in the UK, Marc
Bolan's and Kenny Everett. Marc Bolan also died (in a car accident)
before the Bowie episode aired, and Kenny Everett later died too. So
for about a month there, it seemed like Bowie had the angel of death
hovering over him and everyone he worked with died shortly afterwards.

Gosh, Andrew, what a surprising choice for you ;-) Just joshing. I agree,
a truly wonderful blend of two "opposing" voices, it still makes me cry.
I would have a hard time narrowing it down so here are some faves:
Pretty Paper - Roy Orbison

that song!!!

This isn't my favorite, but I wonder why nobody has mentioned "Grandma Got Run
Over By A Reindeer". Or mabye I just missed the post.

>>song!
I just stumbled across this group of people, and I have had a wonderful time
reading all of the threads. Sometimes I laughed so hard I nearly cried. For
the record, my favorite song is Mary's Boy Child by Bony M. There are so many
good ones though!!!

the occasional flame but they never amount to much .. besides, we're all

Anyway... you reminded me of the Bony M Christmas album...I LOVE THAT
THING!!

Yes, do stay!! and yes, some day we've just got to get together, guys. Hey,
maybe we should all meet in Times Square this New Years Eve! Lets,
say.....right on the corner where the ball comes down! Shouldn't be too hard
to pick each other
out. I'll be wearing a funny hat and blowing a noise maker, K? On second
thought....
well, we have to do sometime! : )

Maybe I will hang around, being born in 1962, the 1970's were the real
formative years for me. But try explaining those years to my kids!!!!

horrific moods before reading the posts here but that all lifted after
reading a few. There are posts here to make you laugh, think and even get a
bit misty eyed on occasion.

Hey, Dave, please do hang around. The more the merrier! I was born in
'61, so the same goes for me. (If you can explain "those years" to me,
I'll be happy to try and explain them to your kids. :-0 )
And thanks for the Christmas song idea too!
As far as all of us meeting . . . I say that whomever among us makes
their first million or wins the lottery is the one who'll pick where
and when we meet, 'cuz they'll be paying for us all to travel there!
