Dappled Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 OK Little St Nick - The Beach Boys (I saw a heading somewhere: "Little St Nick Surpasses Stairway to Heaven As Most Annoying Overplayed Song. I'm still fond of it) Full Measure - Lovin' Spoonful (what Christmas is all about) The full measure of your giving You don't yet understand A cupful of living That you hold in your hand The full weight of your loving Makes me lighter than air The tax I'm receiving Now I know that it never was there It started off just stickin' around To get that wonderful feeling from you Now there's finally someone telling me I can really give too I know you know the feeling That getting something for nothing is wrong Getting love is so easy Giving love takes so long I've heard them say it at Christmas Now I can say it to you The feeling of giving Is as good as I'm getting from you It's as good as I'm getting from you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Thank you Farin, I will! I like my Christmas traditional. No veering of in odd directions. So, I will be pretty boring here. The two top commercial Christmas Songs, but still, my favorites. White Christmas ~ Bing Crosby Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer ~ Gene Autry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Don Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 White Christmas--The Drifters Only because it's the favorite Christmas song of a sportswriter for a local newspaper, who never gets to hear it on the radio around Christmas time! Every year he always complains about this! Blue Christmas--Elvis Presley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levis Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 If God Would Send His Angels - U2 They released this song as a Christmas single. I know there aren't too many fans here, but give it a listen if you can This isn't the video for it... it's some Final Fantasy thing. The actual video wasn't loading, but pay attention to the song! Nobody else here baby No one here to blame No one to point the finger It's just you and me and the rain (This verse not on the City of Angels soundtrack.) Nobody made you do it No one put words in your mouth Nobody here taking orders When love took a train heading south It's the blind leading the blond It's the stuff, it's the stuff of country songs Hey if God will send his angels And if God will send a sign And if God will send his angels Would everything be alright? God has got his phone off the hook, babe Would he even pick up if he could It's been a while since we saw that child Hanging 'round this neighbourhood You see his mother dealing in a doorway See Father Christmas with a begging bowl And Jesus sister's eyes are a blister The High Street never looked so low It's the blind leading the blond It's the cops collecting for the cons So where is the hope and where is the faith And the love...what's that you say to me Does love...light up your Christmas Tree The next minute you're blowing a fuse And the cartoon network turns into the news If God will send his angels And if God will send a sign Well if God will send his angels... Where do we go? Where do we go? Jesus never let me down You know Jesus used to show me the score Then they put Jesus in show business Now it's hard to get in the door, angel It's the stuff, it's the stuff of country songs But I guess it was something to go on If God will send his angels Sure could use them here right now Well if God would send his angels (And I might not want my life) (I want my lover feel my soul) / So where do we go? (And I want my love and I) (And I want to feel alone) / So where do we go? How? (Sing my song) (Sing my song) (Sing my song) (Sing my song) and Do they know it's Christmastime - Band-Aid Someone had to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 (edited) The Christmas Song - Nat King Cole Chestnuts roasting on an open fire Jack Frost nipping at your nose Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir And folks dressed up like Eskimos. Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe Help to make the season bright Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow Will find it hard to sleep tonight. They know that Santa's on his way He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh And every mother's child is gonna spy To see if reindeer really know how to fly. And so I'm offering this simple phrase To kids from one to ninety-two Although it's been said many times, many ways Merry Christmas to you.
