Going back to when i was almost a teen, i have always loved Bruce Springsteen's version of Santa Claus is Coming to Town...great job with the bells and sax...etc...

of course, John Lennon and Yoko Ono's War Is Over (Happy Christmas)...

Bono and U2 do a fantastic version of Baby Please Come Home (for Christmas)...and i love the video (Bono looks awesome in a Santa hat)

and Billy Squier's Christmas Is The Time To Say I Love You.

Purple Snowflakes - Marvin Gaye

I used to really enjoy Happy Xmas by Lennon...till yesterday. Three classmates and I played this song at the Christmas Party at my high-school. I played the guitar and had to learn the song in about two days. It kept ringing in my head, it just wouldn't stop. So now I gotta put it down for a while...

Rockin around the Chrismas Tree... that chick ...an oldie.

and

Santa Baby......"just slip a sable (fake fur please) under the tree...for me...."

^Sadly, Ms. Kitt passed away a day or two ago. RIP.

I love Elvis' Santa Claus Is Back In Town and the one the Waitresses did but the name escapes me. As far as traditional songs, Silent Night and Oh Come All Ye Faithful top the list. I also enjoy listening to Handel's Messiah this time of year.

Winter Wonderland by Fleming&John

Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) by U2

[justwastintime03]

Mine is "God Bless Us Everyone" from "A Christmas Carol" ( a musical performed in NYC back in December, around 1997). Music & Lyrics by Alan Menken & Lynn Ahrens, respectively.

Another show stopper from it is entitled "A Place Called Home", sung by a young Ebenezer.

Postscript: Oops, I forgot to mention two more:

1)"There Is No Rose of Such Virtue" (from an old LP entitled "Early Christian Music"

____performed by the Early Music Consort who were based in a NYC Church, St. Ignatius of

____Anticoch, back in the late 70s...wonder what they're up to now, hmmm)

2)"Lullay, Lullay"

[justwastintime03]

St. Ignatius of Antioch, I meant.
