'Oh Holy Night' without a doubt.  It's so dramatic.  I don't have a specific version in mind.

So glad you asked Tobias, I'd have to say it's 'Oh Holy Night' without a doubt.  It's so dramatic.  I don't have a specific version in mind.

OH MAN! You should see what I just posted in a different thread!

I really like Bing's "White Christmas" or Jimmy Durante's "Frosty the Snowman".
You can't go wrong with 'Oh Holy Night'.
Those are on my heavy list. (if I had a heavy list)

I'm not sure the particular rendition of O Holy Night matters. It's just the best song, period.

Is there a different thread for worst song? I rough ridin' loathe that Paul McCartney song that seems to always be in the "hot" rotation on the radio every year. The music, the lyrics, it's just complete garbage.

"Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" and it's not even close.

Obscure here, but my favorite to listen to is the Mannheim-Steamroller rendition of "The Holly and the Ivy."  A quiet and dimly-lit room and this song can bring to me a rush of emotion.  Again, obscure, but very moving to me.

I just realized the other day that my all time fav "let it snow" actually has nothing to do with christmas.

Is it that one song that's all trippy where he says "Simply havin' awonderful Christmastime"? Because I hadnever heard that before but have heard it four times this season.

FYI hands down the worst is Little Drummer Boy. Holy woof.

I heard this last year, and listened to it several times last year and this. Listen to it. Try and NOT tap your foot or bob your head. Can't be done.

Skinben I'll need your thoughts on this song, especially from about 2:00 to about 3:30, I mean, they just let loose wow

I really like old school Sinatra/Bing Christmas songs. Probably my favorite song though is Joy to the World.

Also, that Paul McCartney song is so bad it almost cancels out every awesome thing he did in The Beatles.

That's the one.

I know, right? It's just so awful. It's kind of like the Star Wars Christmas Special of Christmas songs, except it's not even kinda good in a funny/ironic/terrible way.
