What's your favorite Christmas (or Holiday) song?
What's your favorite Christmas (or Holiday) song?
This is mine, always has been, and my favorite of the shows they used to put on TV when I was a kid. I used to watch it with rapt attention every year. It's my all time absolute favorite.

One of the most beautiful hymns ever written. Brings tears to my eyes... Like one person who commented on the youtube page, I don't just listen to this at Christmas time... It's beautiful any time of year. Of course anything sung by Johnny Mathis is a treasure ....
Johnny Mathis - O Holy Night!

this is the first one that came to my mind thinking in villancicos! (if you were part of a chorus being a child here sure you sang it! ). Now I notice that it has a beautiful NOA ritmo!

I also remember barry´s song sang by Pro Música de Rosario each year on Christmas concert, so beautiful and sad...!
from your side of the music I have a Manhattan Transfer Christmas album somewhere: "chestnuts roasting on an open fire" my favourite from it (love the song atmosphere!)
