I figured it was time.

So, what Christmas album/songs do you love to play incessantly during the fantabulous Christmas season?

Elvis - White Christmas compliation (25 of Elvis' best Christmas songs, although I hear they have a 2 disc Elvis Christmas Cd I'll have to get my grubby little hands on)

A Charlie Brown Christmas Soundtrack - Vince Guaraldi Trio - Easily one of the things I spin most during Christmas, and sometimes in July!

Billboard Top Christmas Hits 1955-Present 10 of the most famous/best Christmas songs ever made

Trans-Siberian Orchestra - All 3 Christmas albums - The first is my favorite though.

Garth Brooks - Beyond the Season - I think I've spun this one about 10 times every year since it came out in 92...still need his other XMas CD though)

*NSYNC - Home for Christmas - yeah, you wanna fight about it?

and singles:

Eagles - Please Come Home for Christmas (probably my favorite XMas song of all)

Lennon - Happy XMas (War is Over)


How's about you?

Trans-Siberian Orchestra -- all three CDs.

Weird Al's "Christmas at Ground Zero" and "The Night Santa Went Crazy". This is fun when I'm playing this on my car's CD player really loud with the windows down and the car next to me has its windows down and kids in it. :D

Home Alone and Home Alone 2 soundtracks.

Darren Hayes' cover of Wham!'s "Last Christmas". I don't really know why I prefer the cover versions of "Last Christmas" over the original.

Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker" suite...when I need some instrumental Christmas music other than TSO.

Me, too. My hubby owns the CDs with the more traditional music, and I listen to those a lot during the holidays, too. But the ones I listed are the ones that I own and play.
