Best & Worst
 

holiday songs?

Best...Burl Ives "Holly Jolly Christmas" *giggle* Can you tell I just recently watched "Rudolph"?

Worst...That dog barking one (blocked out name)!

My mother, bless her soul purchased the "Barking Dogs" Album for my kids many many years ago and they loved it......so did my dog! I just about lost my mind.

I agree with Lixy!

The best to me, for purely sentimental reasons is, "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus"

LOL! ^5 BIBI!

There's another one of similar fashion to the dog barking one. Has a woman "laughing" all the X-Mas tunes that we know and love. It's just as, if not...more, awful than the dogs!

OMG.....my mom would have been right there to buy that one too!

I used to love Jingle Bell Rock, even sang it in choir etc. BUT...they've played it to death on the radio, and I'm sorry to say I don't want to hear it for awhile now lol...
We also sang O Holy Night, I love to listen to it, but I like to sing it so much more, I love just belting it out ;)

I like this one...

Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht

Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht!
Alles schläft, einsam wacht
Nur das traute hochheilige Paar.
Holder Knabe im lockigen Haar,
Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh.
Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh.

Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht!
Hirten erst kund gemacht;
Durch der Engel Halleluja
Tönt es laut von fern und nah.
Christ der Retter, ist da.
Christ der Retter, ist da.

Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht!
Gottes Sohn, o wie lacht
Lieb' aus Deinem göttlichen Mund,
Da uns schlägt die rettende Stund',
Christ, in Deiner Geburt
Christ, in Deiner Geburt

Guess I've gotten tired of all of em, but especially done to death is "Grandma got Run Over By a Reindeer"...sheesh, that was only funny for about the 1st 1,000,000 times

Best is a toss up between Little Drummer Boy and Gramma got run over by a Reindeer



Worst is what Lixy said.



TY osuche for bringing back younger times

Silent Night is my favorite as well... a church I used to attend would start with the first verse in German as osuche presented and then switch to the English version. For some reason a full church singing in perfect German would send chills up and down my spine.

Songs
 

The song "Your a mean One" is about my favorite x-mas song

"your a mean one Mr Grinch...."

I have to confess to having the barking dogs AND the meowing cats Christmas cd's. My husband plays the cat one, and our malamute goes nuts trying to find them. Sad. The hybrid tries to bark along with the dogs. Least favorite song? How about album? "Christmas With The Happy Crickets" was given to me as a child. Sounds like Alvin and the Chipmunks wired up for the Indy 500. Very annoying. Favorite song? Has to be from the "Merry CHristmas Johnny Mathis" album..."Winter Wonderland". I even found an ornament, a few years ago, with him standing and holding his skis. You press a button and it plays the first part of the song. :)

ooh! I'm such an idiot lol...my fave songs (covers) by my fave people..Last Christmas done by Darren Hayes and Come Home for Christmas by Bon Jovi :drool: :wiggles: hehe

How could you forget the classic "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer"?

Then, there's crap like what Lixy said.

has anyone ever heard the redneck version of "on the first day of christmas my true love gave to me..." it's funny. I think by allen jackson?


*can you tell i grew up in central pennsylvania?
