Ok, it's the Holiday season. What is your favorite....

[Jim O'Dell]

Holiday song? What is the strangest Holiday Song? If you can find a link on Youtube or other site, please add it to your post so we can all listen. I'll start with my favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSUFzC6_fp8 This is by the group in my signature line that I have been following for the past year. I'll add the strangest one later, but want to give some of you a chance to get one in first. Oh, and on mine, be sure to have the subwoofer on, or you'll miss a lot of what Avi, the bass, sings. Jim.

This is my favorite Christmas song with video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7TVNY0RBiQ

[Bruce Page]

Springsteen’s - "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town" always makes me smile.

[Larry Browning]

I really like the Drifters version of White Christmas and the Cartoon that goes with it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ooc5eJc5SHA
Really gets me in the Christmas Spirit!

I also like Santa Baby by Eartha Kitt http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7T0IK99ELs

This is going to be a fun thread! I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

It has to be Trans-Siberian Orchestra for me.

Christmas Eve Sarajevo 12 24 (Carol of Bells)

I heard this on the radio tonight. My mother is out in Australia visiting my brother it had a certain poignancy.

I have another by another Australian, Kevin B Wilson but this is a family forum :-)

This is my favorite Christmas song with video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7TVNY0RBiQ Johnny Cash, "The man comes around Sarah Conner Chronicles

Moses, I can understand a Johnny Cash song, but that one's not very Christmassy, even for an entry in the strangest Christmas song category. Is that really the one you wanted to link to?

Bruce, the Boss is always in style.

Larry, Santa Baby is pretty sultry. I hadn't heard her version, maybe the original?? Thought it was funny, one of the videos to the right was by the group I linked to above singing Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On".

Chris, my wife would probably vote with you on the TSO entry. I think that song was the first video I saw Christmas lights linked to on a house. Hadn't seen this video before.

Graham, interesting....The sentiment brought back remembrance of Jethro Tull's "A Christmas Song" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFvth5GWFSw

Ok, here's my entry in the strange category. Eclipse does some very normal Christmas music, 5 and 6 part harmonies. They have been around for over 10 years, but I never heard of them before this year. Again, it's a capella. I'm kind of on an a capella kick this year. It's a live performance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nFBNQDMxqs

No Christmas is complete without a little Heywood Banks.....

Now that's funny!!! Jim.

[Todd Burch]

O Holy Night. Hands down.

The Eartha Kitt version is the most well know version. I suppose it is the original, but I do not know. Actually it is the only version I know of. Who does a different one? You did not mention the other one I posted. That one is so cool. It is my favorite. You just can't help but to sing along.

[Harold Burrell]

O Holy Night. Hands down.

I second "O Holy Night".

However, I have never heard "Hands Down".

[Joe Angrisani]

I'll Be Home For Christmas, or O Holy Night. But probably O Holy Night, whose line "oh hear the angel voices" is probably the best single line in a carol. Gives me goosebumps everytime it's done right.

[Mark Patoka]

I always thought this one was kinda funny. Haven't really heard it much since I moved away from the Midwest.

Every year since the kids were small we would read "How The Grinch Stole Christmas". I would read it in my best Boris Karloff voice and at the appropriate moments everyone would join in and sing the song. To this day it just isn't christmas unles I get that song stuck in my head. There is even a karaoke version to sing along to. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35WgpMq6e3o
