Post it here!
Doesn't have to be a favorite...just one you really like.
Post a pic to go along if you have one!
Old Toy Trains - Roger Miller, but I prefer the Nana Mouskouri version.

TSO's Christmas Canon is pretty darn nice.

Also check out Carol of the Bells

Definitely, TSO has some great music, I have all of their Christmas albums. I particularly like those you posted, but with the TSO video story.

I love this video and interpretation of Have yourself a merry little Christmas by Beverly Mahood.

completely agree.
Josh Groban's - O Holy Night has become a favorite as well.

I love the line in the Christmas Song "and every Mothers child are gonna spy, to see if reindeer really know how to fly"
Been listing to Christmas music while on the road since Thanksgiving :-)Message edited by author 2010-12-23 08:14:33.

I like the silly songs. Santa Baby (Eartha Kitt version), Hey senor santa claus, I'm getting nuttin for christmas, and one of my favorites... I want a hippopotamus for christmas.

Earth Kitt is amazing for reasons far beyond "Santa Baby" (though there's no one else I'd rather hear sing it -- least of all Madonna).
Vince Guaraldi is Christmas music for me. June Christy (who?) has a wonderful Christmas album too. It's not Christmas until I hear her sing "The Merriest."Message edited by author 2010-12-23 07:39:04.

My favorite is the Cincinnati Pops doing 'Little Drummer Boy' mixed with Ravel's 'Bolero.' Very cool.

What kind of Christmas do you celebrate?
To your point, there's nothing like hearing Bessie sing the blues.

The Holiday Song from CBC's The Irrelevant Show
No matter what holiday you're celebrating (or not celebrating) this song covers it.
