Holiday Music
 

Hey GCers, gimme a hand! I'm compiling a Holiday music CD. What are some of your favorite Holiday songs?

The U2 one and the Dave Matthews one are both good...

Spacing the names right now...

Oh, also... for traditional ones, I like Ave Maria.

White Christmas, Jingle Bell Rock, and that completely sad song Christmas shoes

Carol of the Birds, also known as "Whence Comes this Rush of Wings". Mannheim Steamroller has a great rendition!

My all-time favorite is "The Christmas Song" (you know, chestnuts roasting on an open fire...)

I also really like Silver Bells and one other that I can't remember the name of. Man, that's gonna bug me! If I think of it I'll post again!

My favorite is "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." I'm not sure which version of it is my favorite though.

That's the song I was going to walk down the isle to at the end of this month :( It's my father's favorite Christmas song and we have the Harry Conick Jr cd with him singing it...and it is beautiful. Hands down a great song!

I also like the Amy Grant Christmas CD that has some quality songs. I can't think of the name of my favorite...I'll have to do some searching for it.

Last year I bought Dan Fogelberg's Christmas CD. It is WONDERFUL. It's all an "Old English" type of arrangement. I put it on Thanksgiving Day and I SWEAR I felt like I was in a castle preparing a feast. If anyone likes that style (adds GREAT, BEAUTIFUL variety) I HIGHLY recommend it! Not a single loser on the CD

My absolute favorite is "O Holy Night". I even like the new version (I think Rebecca St. James sings it) with a strong bass beat. One that a lot of people may not have heard that I like is "Breath of Heaven" by Amy Grant.

My family listens to *SO* many different songs, though. From "Christmas in Killarney" to "Mele Kalikimaka," I think we hit every song somewhere along the lines... :)

silent night by boyz 2 men is a good one
chicago does a good version of little drummer boy
and manheim steamroller is good stuff too :D
