I've been compiling my favorite Christmas songs on iTunes to make my own personal Ultimate Christmas Album. (*Not available in stores, call now!*)
Here's what I have so far.
Poignant Songs:
Celebrate Me Home - Kenny Loggins
Christmas by the Bay - Tim Hockenberry
Mary Did You Know? - Kathy Mattea
O Holy Night - Kelly Clarkson**
Welcome to Our World - Chris Rice
Go Tell It on the Mountain - The Swan Silvertones
Fun Songs:
All I Want for Christmas is You - Mariah Carey
Here Comes Santa Claus - Elvis Presley
I Want and Alien For Christmas - Fountains of Wayne
Man in the Santa Suit - Fountains of Wayne
I can't think of any other really good ones but I bet you can. I'm asking for suggestions. If you're considering voting for Jingle Bells or The Christmas Shoes-- shame on you.
**What? She does a good job!

Little Drummer Boy by that Canadian woman, NOT Celine Dion, the older one with the really clear, smooth voice.

Seven Joys of Mary - Great Big Sea
Christmas in Killarney - The Barra MacNeils
Merry Christmas! Hope you enjoy!
I have too many favorites to get into it now. But, I do have your Peanuts CD that you left here last Christmas. Shall I send it back?
I second the vote for Mele Kalikimaka, or anything else by Bing Crosby for that matter.
Also - I like Both Steven Curtis Chapman Christmas CD's. Then again, between my wife and I we have like 6 gigs of Christmas songs in iTunes, so we listen to a lot of Christmas music.
Great Big Sea = Best (only?) Newfoundland band ever!
Friend of mine made her ultimate Christmas album -- with downloadable links and all! I thought it was cool. I mean, any list that includes TMBG, The Pogues, Barenaked Ladies, AND Bing Crosby and Ella Fitzgerald is automatically OK in my book. Not to mention Hugh Jackman, who is hot. ;)
