Josh Groban's version of Oh Holy Night can bring tears to your eyes. Couldn't find a complete free version but here is a link of samples from amazon.com

I've been told that "Hardrock, Coco, & Joe" and "Suzy Snowflake" is a Chicago thing????

Peace, Joy, and Merry Christmas to all this Holiday Season.

Wow, what great choices - it makes me want to buy a bunch of new Christmas CDs. I especially love the oldies - Bing Crosby's White Christmas & I'll Be Home for Christmas, Nat King Cole - The Christmas Song (Chestnuts roasting on an open fire...), but I'll have to check out the whole list above!

I love the oldies for leisurely baking, decorating, wrapping, and Christmas Eve and Day music. But give me any carols by Manheim Steamroller when I need some motivation to get in the spirit and get it done!

A couple of goodies that give me goosebumps:

Celebrate Me Home---Kenny Loggins

Another Auld Land Syne---Dan Fogelberg

Silent Night and Oh Come, Oh Come Emmanuel---Manheim Steamroller versions (oh, WAAAAAAAAA!!!!)

Mary, Did You Know?---as sung by my best friend, Sue

Agree with luvbb on The Little Drummer Boy duet!

And love all of the old standards by all of the "old" crooners from my childhood, as well as anything performed by Josh Groban and Manheim Steamroller.

Joy to the World, and especially to YOU!

Little Saint Nick: Beach Boys

I pray my wish will come true
For my child and your child too
He'll see the day of glory
See the day when men of good will
Live in peace, live in peace again


Peace On Earth/Little Drummer Boy
David Bowie/Bing Crosby

FrankF:

Mine too! I know all the words!

My favs are:

"Christmastime is Here" (from A Charlie Brown Christmas)

"Snoopy's Christmas" (Royal Guardsmen)-- Merry Christmas, my friend!

And its B Side--"It Kinda Looks Like Christmas"

But my all time favorite is Mannheim Steamroller's "Carol of the Bells."

I'll add this one with Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Jordan.
Baby It's Cold Outside

I've found a full set of Dwight Yoakum CD's in this old Chrysler .... open to the highest bidder.

You'll have to remove the pumpkins stains yourself.

Umm...Ummm...I'll bid two sticks of Doublemint gum...still wrapped...and...and one mint flavored toothpick...also still wrapped...

Crossing my fingers...holding my breath...

Geesh...there's no way I'm parting with that most beautiful 'Burnt Sienna'...or that '02 Maine Tide Book...

Maybe no one likes Dwight...maybe I'm the only one that will bid...thank God I left Dwight's 'I'll Be Somewhere for Christmas...and other Hillbilly Holiday Hits' in the house when I went on that little escapade the other day...can you imagine the bidding if that gem were included?...off the charts probably.

You know...I really thought someone in that North Carolina crew would come through for me...maybe assuming that they knew what hoodwink means was my mistake? Or maybe they just weren't clever enough...or HiHardHeat discovered that spray-on anti-fogging product...that's probably it.

A few new albums out--- Mariah Carey, Anita Baker, Brian Setzer and Brian Wilson

And they do not substitute HOLIDAYS for CHRISTMAS in the lyrics

The Wilson album is an JOY

Can't believe no one has mentioned that classic sentimental favorite - "Grandma got run over by a reindeer".

And of course the old classic:

Dominick the Italian Donkey

Saw Dominick last night on Animal Planet--he looked great for an old donkey
