Mele Kalikimaka. But it has to be the Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJhYrC8Rq8w

Hard to top this one:

White Christmas -- Bing Crosby

[lightman]

Idomelon from the 9th Hour of the Royal Hours of the Nativity

[PROCON]

Thanks Kathy!

An old favorite!

Bing Crosby, White Christmas (1947)

[PROCON]

Great minds, etc, etc 😁

[EvilCapitalist]

So far it looks like Bing Crosby is the favorite singer.

[PROCON]

Another great Crosby Christmas song!

Do You Hear What I Hear? - Bing Crosby

[mware]

Green sleeves AKA What Child Is This.

[PROCON]

Let's keep the Bing Crosby Christmas theme going!

O Holy Night - Bing Crosby

[SaveFerris]

Although it’s stupid in taking out Christmas, I do get a kick out of Andy Williams and “Happy Holidays” lately.

Although it seems to be titled “Happy Holiday”

I think it’s something I’m kinda liking because it still does remind me of America before it got destroyed by complete idiots

[ConservativeStatement]

“O Holy Night” is tops for me.

[PROCON]

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing/It Came Upon A Midnight Clear - Bing Crosby

[Michael.SF.]

LOL No worries!

[PROCON]

The Little Drummer Boy - Bing Crosby

[Repeal The 17th]

“O Holy Night”
The line that goes:
“Fall on your knees, oh hear the angel’s voices”
hits me in the gut and chokes me up every time, for some reason.

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

I really love "O Holy Night" especially by Michael Crawford:

Michael Crawford - "O Holy Night"

I'm also partial to "Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence":

Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence · John Michael Talbot

The one "Christmas" song I try to avoid hearing is "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" by Bruce Springsteen. In fact, I make it a challenge every Christmas season now to see if I can get away with not hearing it on the radio or in the stores. Last year, I was successful. This year: so far so good. Wish me luck.
