Do you hear what I hear (Sang this for choir a few times...)
O Holy Night (My favourtie version is on the same CD as William Shatner singing... It's so horrible. I'm talking about both songs... ><;; *cringe* )

Random christmas song I like: Twelve Days of Christmas Cowboy Bebop style!!

*dances around with candycanes in hair, a tinsil wreath on her head, dressed in festive clothing and singing Christmas songs at the top of her lungs in the snow* Can you tell I like Christmas?

[DaniGirl]

I personally like the Hanakah Song by Adam Sandler.....but it's not christmas ^^;;;


But my favorite christmas songs are:

[Minty]

"O Holy Night", definitely!

My friend and I sing it a lot at school...I'm not sure about the high notes though :P :P

I also like...
Away in a Manger
The 12 Days of Christmas (Traditional version!)

There are a couple of others I don't know the name of...but the chorus is a really long "Gloooooooria!" He he. I'll think of some more.

[Fiona C]

O Holy Night.
Definitely, "Mary, did you know?" since we're singing it this year in choir
First Noél

[Taryn]

"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"
"I'll Be Home For Christmas"
"Silent Night"

[Tali]

Can anyone else pronounce Polish. I'm all for it if they can.

Yey keep giving in votes.

[Autumn]

"Gloria in excelsis deo" (sp?)

*huggles song*

[Pisces]

"Mary Did you know?"
"Carol of the Bells"
"O' Holy Night"
"Where are you Christmas?"

These are my ALL time favorite songs. Ever o.o;;

[Tali]

Gloria *clapclap* Gloria *clapclap* In excelcious deo. (SP?)

Oh btw has anyone heard "The night Santa went Crazy" by Weird Al?

[ChibiRei]

White Christmas
Happy Holidays
The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Silent Night (in different languages maybe?)

[Miki-Chan]

Santa Baby
Jingle Bell Rock
White Christmas
Carol of the Bells (SAB Choir version)
Kiyoku Tadashii no Kurisumasu
O Holy Night

...And a bunch of others. ^.~

[minkchan]

"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"
"Christmas in our Hearts" (Jose Mari Chan)
"All I want for Christmas is you" (Mariah Carey..the before screaming phase)

[jesta_ariadne]

Oh goodness, I love so many ones... so I don't really mind, but here are my suggestsion/votes anyway:

Oh Holy Night (add my vote to the pile!)
It Came Upon The Midnight Clear (only... I'm thinking of the English tune)
O Little Town of Bethlehem (Hmm, well I can think of three tunes for this... any one would do!)
Oh Come All Ye Faithful/Adeste Fideles
Carol of the Bells (hee, this would be fun as a group!)
The Coventry Carol
O Come O Come Emmanuel/Veni Veni Emmanuel (Latin, anyone...?)
The Shepherd's Farewell (Lovely lovely Berlioz piece....)

I guess some of the congregational ones might not work so well as solos (like The First Nowell and While Shepherds Watched I love too...) but we could prolly work something out ^^


There are a couple of others I don't know the name of...but the chorus is a really long "Gloooooooria!" He he. I'll think of some more.
Ding Dong Merrily On High? I'll second that!

*giggles* I'm in such a Christmas mood now!

[Minty]

Yeah...but I think there's two different songs with the "Gloria" chorus -- both are long chorus but the way they go down the scale is different....or maybe they're just harmonies of the same song. *baffled*

Yes, I rather like "O Come O Come Emmanuel", we sang a bit of it in church but I don't know it very well...

[Autumn]

I thought the really long chorus one with "Glooooooria" was "Gloria in Excelsis deo". ^-^ It's a song we're signing in my choir. It means, "Glory to God in the highest".

[Katie]

I was actually thinking of creating a universal Christmas song thread in the Recording Studio, but this works, too. :D

I am a Christmas song JUNKIE. I'll list some of my favorites...

Baby, It's Cold Outside
Sleigh Ride ("...it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you..." you know the song I'm talking about)

There was a high amount of interest in the project. What happened? Where'd you all go?
Please take the time to give it a try and send it in. I think this could be really cool if it gets done. Don't let this project die. :(
