A Christmas To Remember by Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby..

I just bought this because I don't have a recording of White Christmas by Bing...

It's an interesting CD. There is no break between the songs. They talk between the songs. When they sing they share the songs...Frank will sing one verse than Bing will sing another. They sing in harmony as well as unison. There are also tunes where one will sing alone. There are carols as well as holiday songs...

White Christmas - Bing Crosby

Believe it or not I like The Chipmunk Song..... I have an old 45 of it

My parents had a ton of Christmas albums but Gene Autry's Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was usually the first one on the turntable on Christmas morning.

In more recent years it's become tradition to listen to these on the way to Christmas morning festivities. Just this year I upgraded them from cassette to CD.

...and it never actually feels like Christmas until I hear this one by Robert Earl Keen:

Merry Christmas From the Family

Darlene Love - Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) sung on Letterman every year. Also loved her Christmas Time for the Jews on SNL.

Love the entire Phil Spector Christmas album.

So many others... I'm a sucker for holiday music.

A nice "gospely" Oh Happy Day always puts me on the :santa: mood!!

Great song!

Silent Night has to be my favorite Christmas carol though offhand I don't have a favorite version. I do love my Elvis Presley, Charlie Brown Christmas and my Atlantic Records "Soul Christmas" cds very much :D

The Waitresses did a Christmas song, title escapes me but I like that too.

Bought some Xmas cd's worth mentioning for those who like Xmas music that rocks.

Los Straightjackets-classic Xmas tunes surf style.

Los Lonely Boys-Some killer guitaring from Henry Garza.

Haven't listened to the Spyro Gyra Xmas cd yet but it looks promising.
