I'm usually the one who starts the topics like this. I would like to know what everyone's favorite Christmas Songs are. They can be Religious of course and if you have any favorite secular Christmas songs, feel free to add them! And if you really want to get into it, share some of your favorite Advent hymns as well! I'll start!

Favorite Advent Hymn:
O Come Divine Messiah

Favorite Religous Christmas Hymns:
O Holy Night (Especially Josh Groban's version, actually I love his whole Christmas album)
I enjoy most traditional Christmas hymns
I also love Do you hear what I hear?
And Mary Did you know?

Favorite secular Christmas songs:
Believe From the Polar Express by Josh Groban of course!
My Grown Up Christmas List
I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas
Dominick the Donkey
Nuttin for Christmas
Chipmunks Christmas song
Christmas Eve Sarajevo-Trans-Siberian Orchestra
Christmas Canon-Trans-Siberian Orchestra

Songs I hate
Grandma Got Run over by a Reindeer
All I want for Christmas is You

The First Noel, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, What Child is This, and Panis Angelicus. I can't think of the others, but I'm sure there are more! :)

The greatest version of the greatest secular Christmas song - very plain images, but at least they're not offensive:

The greatest version of the second-greatest secular Christmas song - slightly better image:

I knew you had to be.

The problem with novelty songs is they're funny only the first 600 times or so.






Now, if they were to paraphrase it to something like Mother Superior Got Run Over By a Reindeer... or Monsignor O'Sullivan Got Run Over By a Reindeer... that might re-funni-fy it some.

Oh I forgot I also hate I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus.

But I also love Where Are you Christmas? by Faith Hill

And I LOVE Star of Bethlehem by Danielle Rose. Look it up, it's delightful

Not a hymn that we'd ever sing in my church, but I consider it a Christmas-themed religious song. Enjoy.

Somewhat of an ecclectic list, this:

[u]Advent[/u]

[i]Wachet Auf[/i] (Wake, Oh Wake! for night is flying!)
[i]Come Oh Lord, and Set Us Free.... Bring Your People Peace![/i] (Darryl Ducote, Gary Daigel)
(That this is one of theirs a surprise! I usually don't like their stuff!!!)

[u]Christmas[/u]

[i]Of the Father's Love Begotten[/i]
[i]Silent Night[/i]
[i]Go tell it on the Mountain[/i]
[i]The Gentle Beasts[/i] (OK, maybe this one goes under secular, but I think St. Francis would love it!)

SOME of the songs on Gentle Night (the SLJ Advent/Christmas album), (I know, some people will now throw popcorn at me....)

esp. [i]The Beautiful Mother (best version I could find....)[/i]

[i][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svXwwYhuZ7Q[/media][/i]

and [i]Who has Known [/i](both by John Foley, SJ) (couldn't find a clip)


[u]Secular[/u]

the Bing Crosby Christmas album!
Do you see what I see?
Little Drummer Boy

Silent Night...it just perfectly reflects for me the solemnity for the holy night.

Second place being, Joy to the World, because it's not just a solemn occasion but a cause for great joy!
