I found a radio station that plays only Christmas Music! I was delighted with this. I am a Christmas music junkie. Of course I have been listening to the cheerful music for about 2 weeks now. As I type this discussion I am listening to Elton John's "Step Into Christmas." Love holiday music! There are so many songs out there that are favorites of mine. What are some of your favorites?

Though I haven't turned the Christmas music on at home yet, I am enjoying hearing it in the stores. I need it to motivate to get my shopping done. As for my favourite Christmas song, that would be Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton's song "The Greatest Gift of All".

I loved that Christmas album by Michael Buble. I used to play the songs a lot of times last Christmas, but when I repleced my computer, I couldn't find the album anymore. Too bad. Hope to find this one before December.

I hope you can find it! I have a cd by Sarah McLachlan. It is wonderful and I listen to it throughout the year. Here is a link to Wintersong:

Ahhh great.
Here in Minneapolis MN we have KOOL 108 FM.
They are an oldies station normally.
But each Novemeber 1st they start with their 24 hour a day holiday music.
This goes on until the day after Christmas as well.
I love it. I havew a CD I play in the car as well sometimes.
My fave song would have to be Blue Christmas by Elvis Presley.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I listen to the music right up to New Year's Day...and then sometime after as well. Last year I had several cd's in my car. But, that car was totaled in February. Now I drive a car that has only a radio. Bummer.

Nobody sings "White Christmas" like Bing Crosby. What a crooner he was.

Hello ElusiveButterfly. Though Christmas is not our traditional festival, I love it when we celebrate it on campus. I love to listen to Christmas songs and I thank you so much for the link of the music. Merry Christmas to you in advance, my dear friend.

Its people like you that have stores dragging out the tinsel before halloween and the radio stations going into autopilot w/ christmas music 2 months before it happens :)
Personally, not so much a fan of christmas music. Im not religious and the perpetuating a character flaw like greed kind of makes me ill. I know not all people treat christmas as the gimme gimme time of year, but enough do. Im happy just to see my family the one time a year as they live on the other side of the country.
But i guess if i had to choose a few songs, merry christmas - john lennon, white christmas, ray charles -spirit of christmas, elvis - blue christmas; those are tolerable.

I'm dreaming of a White Christmas. Some of the funny X-mas songs and some of the corrupted ones. I like almost all of them. What Child is this? is beautiful. I don't like to start too early, I may get sick of them by then. Take care.

It may sound silly but I always loved Winter Wonderland. The beat is good and every time I hear it, makes me tap with the beat. For a romantic tune, I always loved White Christmas (is that the title? LOL)

oh yes there's a special joy felt in the heart once am listening to Christmas Songs. One of my faves is "War is over" another is "Give Love on Christmas Day" During midnight masses I love to listen and sing together with the choir and the attendees solemn songs like "OH Holy NIght". SO many Christmas songs that touches our hearts everytime we listen to.

Yes you're right ElusiveButterfly, christmas music somehow lifts up everyone's spirit especially during these times of hardship (personally speaking). Personal favorites are Jackson 5, Four Aces and the Carpenters. The old ones actually. hehehe

Wow, I know KOST out here does that, but it's only for one month generally. I love Carol of the Bells, Silent Night, and Silver Bells. I don't like to listen until after Thanksgiving though. But I have already started practicing playing these songs since each year I give a CD to my family and friends.

I love Christmas music too, its a shame that we only listen to it during the Christmas season. There are so many that I love too, but my all time favorites are O Holy Night, and Beautiful Star of Bethlehem, I sang that song at my church last year, I also sang it in my Native Language, it was great.

I love Christmas music too.I usually listen this kind of music from octomber to march.I also keep my christmas lights on walls all this time because it`s so hard to give up on them. My favourite songs are The Twelve Days of Christmas, Silent Night, Let It Snow and Oh Little Child of Bethlehem, but i actually love them all.
