Ladies,
I hope you all had some rest and relaxation and quality family/friend time this long Thanksgiving weekend. I did.
If you'd like, please share the names of your favorite (for lack of a better verbiage) non-religious and religious Christmas songs. If you are at times like me, just share ONLY all your most favorite-est of them if you have two or three of each.
Thanks!
OneJohn410

Mine are Steve Green Christmas songs:
Good News
Birthday of the King/O Holy Night
Holy Child
Actually, I love all his Christmas music and really wish he would do another one. 
Also like much of Michael W Smith's stuff too, particularly Gloria and Christ the Messiah.
I don't particularly care for secular Christmas music, but, if I had to give one or two, it'd be White Christmas and Jingle Bell Rock.

Mary did you know is a definite favorite. We have The Nitty Gritty Dirt Bands Christmas album and I think that is my favorite album. We just put all our Christmas CD's on our Ipods and ended up with 209 songs. It is some instrumental, some choir, a little old, a little new. We created a play list put it on scramble and it plays all the time in our house.

Anything sung by Burl Ives or Bing Crosby (or any of the old time crooners for that matter).
My favorite songs are as follows:
Religious - Mary Did You Know, Do You Hear What I Hear, Go Tell it On the Mountain, Joy to the World, Hark the Herald Angels Sing, Silent Night, O Come All Ye Faithful (I could keep going probably but I'll stop here).
Non-Religious - You Better Watch Out, All I Want for Christmas, Silver Bells, I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas, I'm Getting Nothing for Christmas, Santa Baby (I'll stop here).
I LOVE CHRISTMAS MUSIC!

All I Want for Christmas
I forgot this one until one of my guy friends was goofing off and sang it to me at choir practice the other day...I love that song...as long as he's not singing it to me! That was a little strange!
The song though, I LOVE!

I love "O Holy Night", but I also love some of the newer Christmas songs that have come out by Christian artists. Some faves are:
"All is Well" -- Point of Grace
"Joseph's Song" -- Michael Card
"Mary Sweet Mary" -- Selah
"The Virgin's Lullaby" -- The Nativity Soundtrack

There's a jolly song about reindeer that I like as well, but I can't remember the name of it.
I heard it on the radio this morning - Jingle Bell Rock. It is so dancey. The reason I associate it with reindeer is becuse of one Christmas when I sent an email card with reindeer playing hide & seek, while that song was playing in the background.

That's a nice mix of religous songs, ladies.
I've not heard Christmas is all in the heart
Gloria... isn't that on a MWSmith Chistmas release too? I like the one he sings.
I haven't heard Steve Green's Christmas music... probably would like it.
Don't know Joseph's Song, Mary Sweet Mary, or the Virgin's Lullaby.
One of my most favorite is not in here... What Child is This, aka Greensleves.

I've heard most of these, but I don't know a single line of Dominic Donkey, or the Hippo song.
Again, this is a good mix, y'all!
There's Jingle Bell Rock, but no plain Jingle Bells? Interesting.
Has anyone heard of Manheim Steamroller? They do an interesting Christmas mix every year. Their version of Greensleves is wonderful.
Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow didn't make the first-round.
Although it's been said, many times, many ways... Merry Christmas to You.
Grandma got run over by a reindeer... . (Not a favorite, but if you sing about hippos, do you sing that obnoxious one?
Or Ray Stevens' version of Santa Claus is coming to town? He's sneakin up around the corner...).
Over the River and Thru the Woods??? 
Here comes Santa Claus?
O Christmas Tree?
============================================
Thanks for participating. Now you can make some Christmas music '08 CDs, based on a survey of your peers. Woo-hoo!
