December 21, 20178 yr If there's a thread for this, I apologize for missing it. I'll start with the one that continues to top my personal list. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lqwqknq7nuI
December 21, 20178 yr Merry Christmas From the Family - Montgomery Gentry Heard it just this morning on the way to work!
December 21, 20178 yr I was just getting ready to post a Christmas Music thread. I'm looking to go with more traditional Christmas music for our show next year. Things like: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Frosty the Snowman You're a mean one Mr. Grinch What are some other traditional Christmas songs would you recommend?
December 21, 20178 yr Oh Holy Night & Silent Night (of course!). But I have to admit I heard a version of the Little Drummer Boy that brought me to tears (the one with Idina Menzel, it was the brief but powerful drum solo that got me).

Let It Snow! - Dean Martin White Christmas - Bing Crosby The Little Drummer Boy - The Harry Simeone Chorale Silent Night - Frank Sinatra Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas - The Carpenters Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer - Gene Autry Frosty The Snowman - Jimmy Durante The Christmas Song - Mel Torme The First Noel - Nat King Cole There's No Place Like Home for the Holidays - Perry Como Holly Jolly Christmas - Burl Ives Baby, It's Cold Outside - Dean Martin Non-Traditional: Linus and Lucy - Vince Guaraldi Trio Father Christmas - The Kinks Santa Clause is Coming to Town - Bruce Sprinsteen Please Come Home for Christmas - The Eagles Run Run Rudolph - Foghat Merry Christmas Baby - B.B.

December 21, 20178 yr Little drummer boy/peace on Earth Bowie and Bing I’m with you. That is my favorite as well
December 21, 20178 yr O Holy Night always tops the list for me. This is mine, too. No other comes close.
December 21, 20178 yr Don't get me wrong... there are Christmas tunes that I really like, and typically year after year just as the holiday season is upon us I'm like "Ah, how nice".... ....but every year without fail somewhere around mid-December I'm like "Enough Already"!!!...:eek: .... and through over exposure where ever I go, or every commercial on TV trying to be cute and clever (such as this Cincinnati Bell ad that I'm up to here with)...:eek: ... just to survive it without going out of my mind, I begin to cynically and almost psychotically, out loud even when I'm alone, parodize every Christmas song to the point of shameful sophomoric disrespect rearranging and improvising the words to the point that maybe only a 13 year old boy might find them humorous. If I'm out in a store and you'd listen close enough you'd hear me singing under my breath my rude and nasty newborn lyrics right over top of the original. No song is sacred, and no matter how originally beautiful it is will escape my destruction of it. In truth It's not a sign of me surviving the season, it's truly of sign of me going nuts, and I'm almost certain that it could be determined borderline, if not full blown clinical. :eek:
December 21, 20178 yr "Symphony No. 9 ('Ode to Joy')" - Ludwig van Beethoven (Poem by Friedrich Schiller) I hear this every year in church even though wasn't written as a Christmas song. "... Seek him in the heavens Above the stars he must dwell." Flash mob symphony. I love it when a piece of music comes together.
December 21, 20178 yr And just for funsies, this ones for you @Run To State. The song is great, but it's the folks in the background that :lol: me up.

Haven't seen that one before, but that's pretty awesome! :thumb: Reminded me of this flash mob at some mall that I'd forgotten about:
