I think I prefer Christmas Carols to Christmas songs.
My all time favourite is We three Kings, of Orient are.

Don't know if it's my favorite, but it's among them:
"This Christmas" by Donny Hathaway ('06).

Gloria In Excelsis Deo - ever since I had to sing it in the grammar school Christmas choir.

This is not meant as a snide comment but rather as an actual question. Do you mean "Angels We Have Heard On High"? or another carol incorporating the words "Gloria In Excelsis Deo"?

You are right, it is "Angels We Have Heard On High." I have never called it anything but "Gloria in Excelsis Deo" which is actually the chorus part.

The Little Drummer Boy, sung by a sweet two-year-old who sings the lyrics as: "Cola Toe Lee, Rum Pah Pum Pum".

I think my favorite is "Carol of the Bells".
I love pretty much all traditional Christmas carols. Silent Night, O Holy Night, Adeste Fideles, you name it.
Also, I recently had the opportunity to sing in the choir in a performance of Handel's Messiah, so I'm going to add "For Unto Us A Child Is Born" to the list. It's a PITA to sing, with those long runs on the word "born" - but it sounds so awesome.

Rachel Hale, an AST who appeared on American Idol, just came out with her latest song. This might be the only Christmas song that I actually kind of enjoy!
"Can You Hear the Sound (of Christmas)"

I go back and forth between "What Child is This" and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" as my all-time faves. It really depends who's performing it.

Heard a nifty Christmas recording over loudspeakers on the street outside a busy tavern the other day that I'd never heard before. It sounded like Peggy Lee singing, and some of the lyrics were similar to: "so if you're very good to people, The Christmas Angel will be good to you".
Now I can't find it online and I don't know the title. Help if you can please? Thank you!

What good is a "Least Favorite Christmas Carols" thread without the availability of a "Favorite Christmas Carols" thread? Post when ready....
