Favorite Christmas Carol

What is everybody's favorite Christmas carol(s) for the holidays? ...I like them all but I still think that O Holy Night is one of my favorites. Believe it or not I like both Nat King Cole's and Mariah Carey's the best..Guess I am kind of bipolar, lol.

What are your favorites...____________________

Happy Holidays

I agree with JrzyGirl88. The Waitresses were such a great band and so missed!

I'd perfectly happy to never hear another Christmas carol, but I really love Willie Nelson's 'Pretty Paper'.

This one's not really well known, I've never heard WRNJ play it but that certainly does not mean it isn't good … I find it to be the perfect, not overdone, Christmas tune :-D

Merry Christmas All.

And speaking of bah humbug and Christmas carols...….as I dig farther back in family history, imagine finding the poor sap named Ebenezer Danger who was born just before a certain 1843 book pretty much ended use forever :>( Merry Dickens to you......

Alice's is really a Thanksgiving Carol...…

For Arlo, and Xmas ------ you want The Pause of Mr. Claus, and, of course, the associated tale worth telling:

8 minutes, it's a story, grab a drink, drink it, and then --- sit back and laugh.

sorry, can't find live version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17gKw_j6Qq0

Green Grows the Holly by Calexico. This is on a cd titled Holiday Rules Volume One. The second cd that came out is not that great but this first one is one of the most unique collection of traditional songs I've ever heard.

eperot, so glad to hear that someone knows about George Winston :-)

Here is the full album to listen to on You Tube (all of you should turn out the lights one evening and burn one candle brightly (or fireplace) near the mantle and listen to this entrie album- so healing):
