I have, in person, at least twice. Truly a Merry Christmas!

I've always liked the sound of this one

but I'm not sure if the video is entirely PC, which is probably why it's never on TV.

I also love variations on The 12 Days of Christmas, especially the Hawaiian one.

Not a fan of Manheim Steamroller. I do love Pentatonix, what a talented group of people! I love the tradional carols, love Johnny Mathis - he’s the voice of Christmas for me. I think my very favorite Christmas song is O Holy Night. I’m not religious, but this song always makes me wish I was.

Anything by Bing Crosby. His is the only Christmas singing voice I genuinely enjoy hearing.

Hard to beat Robert Shaw's Christmas music. Love the classic stuff really. Not into the newer music much.

None.

I think the constant drone of "jingle bells", "frosty the snow man" and "santa claus is coming to town" constantly blaring in the shopping malls is a form of toxic air pollution. If I had to work in that environment, I'd likely quit.

But on December 26, that noise instantly vanishes!

O Holy Night is perfect, and sometimes I like the cute ones like Have a Holly Jolly Christmas (Burl Ives?) Sometimes you just plain need it.
