"Let it Snow" by Boyz II Men and Brian McKnight
It's another Christmas Holiday
It's a joyous thing let the angels sing
Cause were together
Sorry, but that's my favorite
"Sleigh Ride" by TLC
and
"8 Days of Christmas" by Destiny's Child
are okay.
ETA: "Little Drummer Boy" by Lauryn Hill... it's tight, and it's not just because I love Lauryn Hill either.

I co-sign on those. I also want to add "Little Drummer Girl" by Alicia Keys and "Opera of the Bells" by Destiny's Child. Man, I LOVE Christmas music!!  I just made a CD that I have been wearing out.

Co-sign on the Temptations and Donny Hathaway. But does anyone know the name of the New Edition Christmas Song? Is it something "Like Christmas Around the World Tonight"? I know its Christmas when they start playing it here in philly.

Like you, I'm kinda old school when it comes to Christmas tunes, althought I did buy the Fred Hammond Christmas CD. I haven't listened to it yet, though. Some other favorites that haven't been mentioned....
Jesus, Oh what a wonderful child. (I think Mahalia Jackson sings this one)
Christmas Just ain't Christmas (without the one you love)--the O'Jays
Santa Claus, Go straight to the Ghetto--James Brown
What are you doing New Year's Eve--Nancy Wilson
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer by the Tempting Temptations
Santa Baby--Eartha Kitt
