Ah, the sounds of Christmas. You gotta love them! The tunes that run through your mind as you do your shopping or prepare your holiday cards. The songs playing on your radio as you decorate that tree. Perhaps you have favorites that you and your family sing together at your holiday gathering. Or maybe you are one of those who sing in a choir, or yes, even caroling! People still do carol, you know. At least, they do in my neighborhood.
Anyway, I have a list, and I’ve checked it twice, of my favorite holiday songs that I put together on one CD for myself and I’d like to share it with you.
- The Pretty Little Dolly – Mona Abboud
- Snoopy and the Red Baron – The Royal Guardsmen
- Carol of the Bells – David Foster
- Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas – sung by Judy Garland
- Do They Know It’s Christmas? – Band Aid
- White Christmas – Bing Crosby
- The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire) – Nat King Cole
- Peace On Earth/Little Drummer Boy – Bing Crosby and David Bowie
- A Holly Jolly Christmas – Burl Ives
- Rockin’ Around Christmas Tree – Brenda Lee
There are so many more that I love to hear, but this is only my top 10 list. Do you have some that are not listed here? I’d love to know what your favorites are!
Great list! I never would have thought of “The Pretty Little Dolly”…hysterical! “Step Into Christmas” by Elton John always puts a smile on my face. And of course, I grew up with “Sleighride” by Arthur Feidler and the Boston Pops Orchestra, and “The Little Drummer Boy” by the Harry Simone Chorale. But you’re right, there are so many!
Good list, love Bing Crosby and David Bowies version of little drummer boy.
