    What is your favorite holiday song?

    My friends & family all think that I'm a little weird, but I love the Little Drummer Boy, followed closely by Santa Baby.

    i dont really like traditional christmas songs too much. we have this one cd put out by 99x radio station in atlanta. it has mostly local or small label artists singing christmas songs. there are a few on there i really like, but i would have to get it out to remember the names.

    i also like run dmc's christmas in hollis queens. fun stuff. [:D]

    The ENTIRE  Nightmare Before Xmas CD! That is AWESOME...I love Danny Elfman [;)]
    Probably my most favorite is:
     
    "What's this?"
     
    What's this? What's this?
    There's color everywhere
    What's this?
    There's white things in the air
    What's this?
    I can't believe my eyes
    I must be dreaming
    Wake up, Jack, this isn't fair
    What's this?

    What's this? What's this?
    There's something very wrong
    What's this?
    There's people singing songs

    What's this?
    The streets are lined with
    Little creatures laughing
    Everybody seems so happy
    Have I possibly gone daffy?
    What is this?
    What's this?

    There's children throwing snowballs
    Instead of throwing heads
    They're busy building toys
    And absolutely no one's dead

    There's frost on every window
    Oh, I can't believe my eyes
    And in my bones I feel the warmth
    That's coming from inside

    Oh, look
    What's this?
    They're hanging mistletoe, they kiss
    Why that looks so unique, inspired
    They're gathering around to hear a story
    Roasting chestnuts on a fire
    What's this?

    What's this?
    In here they've got a little tree, how queer
    And who would ever think
    And why?

    They're covering it with tiny little things
    They've got electric lights on strings
    And there's a smile on everyone
    So, now, correct me if I'm wrong
    This looks like fun
    This looks like fun
    Oh, could it be I got my wish?
    What's this?

    Oh my, what now?
    The children are asleep
    But look, there's nothing underneath
    No ghouls, no witches here to scream and scare them
    Oh ensnare them, only little cozy things
    Secure inside their dreamland
    What's this?

    The monsters are all missing
    And the nightmares can't be found
    And in their place there seems to be
    Good feeling all around

    Instead of screams, I swear
    I can hear music in the air
    The smell of cakes and pies
    Are absolutely everywhere

    The sights, the sounds
    They're eveywhere and all around
    I've never felt so good before
    This empty place inside of me is filling up
    I simply cannot get enough

    I want it, oh, I want it
    Oh, I want it for my own
    I've got to know
    I've got to know
    What is this place that I have found?
    What is this?

    Christmas Town? Hmm...

       I really love "Oh Holy Night", but my all time favorite Christmas song is a seldom recorded song called "When a Child is Born." I finially found it on a Christnas CD by Kenny Rogers. I bought it a few years ago but I am sure it can still be found if anyone is interested.

    Oh....I forgot my other FAVORITE holiday song is 'You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch'...that's a GREAT tune with great lyrics!
     
     
     
    Author: Dr. Seuss
    You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch.
    You really are a heel.
    You're as cuddly as a cactus,
    You're as charming as an eel.
    Mr. Grinch.


    You're a bad banana
    With a greasy black peel.


    You're a monster, Mr. Grinch.
    Your heart's an empty hole.
    Your brain is full of spiders,
    You've got garlic in your soul.
    Mr. Grinch.


    I wouldn't touch you, with a
    thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole.


    You're a vile one, Mr. Grinch.
    You have termites in your smile.
    You have all the tender sweetness
    Of a seasick crocodile.
    Mr. Grinch.


    Given the choice between the two of you
    I'd take the seasick crockodile.


    You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch.
    You're a nasty, wasty skunk.
    Your heart is full of unwashed socks
    Your soul is full of gunk.
    Mr. Grinch.


    The three words that best describe you,
    are, and I quote: "Stink. Stank. Stunk."


    You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch.
    You're the king of sinful sots.
    Your heart's a dead tomato splot
    With moldy purple spots,
    Mr. Grinch.


    Your soul is an apalling dump heap overflowing
    with the most disgraceful assortment of deplorable
    rubbish imaginable,
    Mangled up in tangled up knots.


    You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch.
    With a nauseaus super-naus.
    You're a crooked jerky jockey
    And you drive a crooked horse.
    Mr. Grinch.


    You're a three decker saurkraut and toadstool
    sandwich
    With arsenic sauce
