What is your favorite Christmas or Holiday Song(s)?
Mine is "Christmas Carol" by Skip Ewing. The song is about a little orphan girl who doesn't know who her daddy is and her Momma has gone away. And in the end she finds a home for Christmas, a real tear jerker.

My favorites are any singer's version of "Do You Hear What I Hear?" "O Holy Night," and Amy Grant's "Emanuel" in terms of the real spirit of the holiday.
Secularly, my favorite is "The Christmas Song" as sung by the Carpenters, followed by "Merry Christmas, Darling" also sung by the Carpenters and "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" by the Carpenters or by Amy Grant.
So, my favorite Christmas albums are "Christmas Portrait" by the Carpenters (though, not on CD, as far as I can tell), Amy Grant's "Christmas Collection," and Barbra Streisand's "A Christmas Album" which is older than I am, but my mom used to stack that one along with Perry Como, the Carpenters, Bing Crosby, and a handful of others on the turntable every year as we decorated the tree and got ready for the holiday.
Now I think I need to go out and find another cassette copy of the Carpenters so I can listen to it as I drive to KY this year.

I have not heard that one yet!! I bet it is great!!
It was performed on the "Nick at Nite" Holiday special Friday night. They will be repeating it over the month of December. The special also had Natalie Cole, Kenny Rogers and Michael McDonald. It was cute but I tuned into it JUST TO SEE Clay!
I heard that it has been on the radio and it should be. You can't tell I'm a big fan can you???

Between Clay and Kelly, I'd have a hard time going against the Texan, but Clay has such range and variety. There's no contest.
I loved Kelly in the first AI. There's an American Idol "The Great Holiday Classics" that's out. It's a double CD - the second one has two from Kelly. She sings a cappella "Oh Holy Night" which I think is wonderful, and a new song "My Grownup Christmas List" which I really like as well. Highlights to me of the other CD is Clay's "First Noel" (of course!) and "O Come All Ye Faithfull" by the ensemble.

My favorite song is "Little Drummer Boy" by Patty Loveless and Rebecca Lynn Howard. Second is "The Christmas Shoes" by 3 of Hearts. I also love to hear "Carol of the Bells" and "Christmas Times A Comin'" by Rhonda Vincent.

Dennis... I mentioned it too. It is done by 3 of Hearts. The girls never made it big in the country field, but this song has done well for them.
