Poll question: Here are my Top Ten Christmas records. Please vote for your favorite.

[Straight Shooter]

1. Well, my fav is "I'll have a blue (blue blue blue) Christmas without you"

But in lieu of that, definitely Lennon is the man.

Why isn't the song about Snoopy and the Red Baron on there, "Christmas Bells"? ;)

[NightTrain]

3. That's a good one, too.

But it's actually my third favorite Elvis holiday tune, behind the song I included in the poll, and "Santa, Bring My Baby Back To Me."

[jdots]

10. Charles Brown naturally

There was that jem by " Dyke & the Blazers "= " We got more Soul " which has nothing to do with Christmas but who cares cause it's so damn funky .

[WI_DEM]

2. Santa Baby!!

[progmom]

11. the Eartha Kitt version

not Madonna's massacre!

[stanwyck]

34. My son and daughter

just heard her (Eartha's) version for the first time yesterday on our way to "A Series of Unfortunate Events" and they were entranced. Who's that? That's NOT Madonna! Oh, no. No way. I have a CD with Dinah Washington, Billie Holliday, Eartha, and Shirley Horne singing Christmas songs.

[wtmusic]

4. Donny Hathaway's 'This Christmas'

Hang all the mistletoe
I'm gonna get to know you better
This Christmas
And as we trim the tree
How much fun it's gonna be together
This Christmas

Fireside blazing bright
We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be
A very special Christmas for me

What a groove.

[NightTrain]

7. "Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home)"

My all-time favorite.

[General Zod]

8. Darlene Love wins hands down..........

....her vocals are amazing....Did Phil Spector produce that record?

[elperromagico]

9. Yes. Both that and "Happy Xmas" are Spector productions.

That's the Wall of Sound backing Ms. Love.

I love her vocals on that song too. The "please, please, please, please, please, baby please come home" part near the end always moves me tremendously.

[progmom]

12. I'm also fond of:

Pearl Bailey - Five Pound Box of Money
Babs Gonzalez - Jingle Bells (hands down the best version ever)
Lambert Hendricks & Ross - Deck Us All With Boston Charlie
Charles Brown - Merry Christmas Baby

[NightTrain]

26. Sounds like you, too, have the CD, HIPSTER'S HOLIDAY.

Dig that crazy Santa Claus!

[progmom]

30. Guilty as charged!

It's my very favorite Christmas CD!

[progmom]

31. I always forget that that's a Christmas song

I miss Kirsty so. Was it 4 years ago already?? Almost to the day.

[WCGreen]

36. She had that great voice that just spoke of so much

heartache, despair, joy and all the ins and outs our life's do take. And she did it without having to rely on trilly tricks and voicy flips or all that other nonsence that passess for talent in the world of pop today......

[Kire]

It's been on my top ten a few years now and Burl Ives.. Holly Jolly Christmas

[The Backlash Cometh]

23. But, but, Carol of the Bells is not on the list?

[Theres-a]

25. aa is self supporting through their own contributions

AA is not allied with any sect,denomination,politics,organization or institution;does not wish to engage in any controversy,neither endorses nor opposes any causes.

[progmom]

[NightTrain]

33. That's OK. I didn't get it, either.

[liberalpress]

24. It's "Holiday" record!

We mean old liberals are stealing Christmas, remember?

[NightTrain]

27. Oops! Sorry, I keep forgetting that Christmas is under attack.

Must be all those Christmas decorations and advertisements that I keep seeing. :eyes:

[stanwyck]

35. You better watch out,

you better not cry. I'm telling you why...Bill O'Reilly's coming to town.
He's knows when you've been sleeping. (and with whom), He knows when you're awake. He's knows when you've been bad (oh, yeah!) or good.
So be good for goodness sake.

[Beaverhausen]

28. Nat King Cole's version of "Christmas Song" is the true classic.

I am welling up just thinking about it.
