Hall and Oates

They put out a Christmas album in "06 or '08.
Like this one, an original song.

There is another one on the album called "Every Day Will Be Like a Holiday" That is a cover of and older but obscure song. You can find the song on You Tube but not this version, which I like better.

Cragger, that Jethro Tull album is one I listen to each year at some point.

I am searching You Tube for all the others that have been mentioned. I love looking for the obscure stuff on You Tube!

I seem to only enjoy the sadder songs.
For example... I don't know the name of it but it's been redone by quite a few artists including a band called 'The Used'. They usually use that song for commercials about adopting poor children...

Happy Christmas (War Is Over) - The Used!
I remembered and found it today! Woohoo for me! Hehe

My favorite Christmas song is Carol of the Bells, I'd post a video of some sort but I've never found a version that I really love on youtube :smile:

Let It Snow

Here is a different version by the band Chicago. This video is the music being used for a house with lights syncronized to music. This version of the song has a Big Band feel. I guess because I used to play trumpet, I like the brass sound.

Best Xmas song, hands down: "Last Christmas" by Wham! :rolleyes:

Carol Of The Bells

I have a CD titled "Handbell Christmas Favorites" 2 volumes and Carol of The Bells is on the first volume and is awesome.

Cannot find a YouTube video of that one but in keeping with my theme today of synchronized lights, you might like this!

Like it ISH!!

Some of my favourites are;
Chris Rea - Driving Home for Christmas
Johnny Mathis - When a Child is Born
Boney M - Mary's Boy Child

But the best has to be : The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale of New York

On a more traditional note, Ding Dong Merrily on High and O' Come All Ye Faithful

There is one true and blue for me! It is originally by Irvin Berlin, but my favorite version is...Bing Crosby's "White Christmas":smile:

Happy belated 500th ISH!

Jethro Tull did a great one, "Another Christmas Song". The lines that stick in my head at the moment are.

How many wars you fighting out there, This Christmas morning?
Maybe it's always time for another Christmas song
Old man is asleep now
He's got appointments to keep now
Dreaming of his sons and daughters
Proving... proving that the blood is strong

There's some powerful music to accompany it, a la Tull of course. The tune comes into my head every Christmas.

This is one of my FAVORITE Christmas songs! Ian got it right with that song! I know this is off topic, but another favorite Tull song of mine is Windup. It reminds me of growing up and the catholic upbringing I had.

I don't know how I managed to forget, my all time Christmas favourite -

Queen - Thank God It's Christmas

Words and music by Brian May and Roger Taylor


Oh my love we've had our share of tears
Oh my friend we've had our hopes and fears
Oh my friends it's been a long hard year
But now it's Christmas
Yes it's Christmas
Thank God it's Christmas

The moon and stars seem awful cold and bright
Let's hope the snow will make this Christmas right
My friend the world will share this special night
Because it's Christmas
Yes it's Christmas
Thank God it's Christmas
For one night

Thank God it's Christmas yeah
Thank God it's Christmas
Thank God it's Christmas
Can it be Christmas?
Let it be Christmas
Ev'ry day

Oh my love we've lived in troubled days
Oh my friend we have the strangest ways
All my friends on this one day of days
Thank God it's Christmas
Yes it's Christmas
Thank God it's Christmas
For one day

Thank God it's Christmas
Yes it's Christmas
Thank God it's Christmas
Oooh yeah
Thank God it's Christmas
Yes yes yes yes it's Christmas
Thank God it's Christmas
For one day

A very merry Christmas to you all
