I have to admit that I am not a huge fan of Christmas music. I like it in small doses, but don't really listen to it a lot, at least not traditional Christmas music. However, I do have a few favs that I could listen to over and over. I love Pentatonix and Trans-Siberian Orchestra. This one is my all time favorite Christmas song:


What's your favorite?
 
I've had a hard time listening to traditional Christmas music for many years. "Joy to the World" reduces me to a puddle of tears because it was my mom's favorite. I had to listen to anything Christmas in small doses. TSO is something I can listen to and enjoy. However, this year I found the group "Home Free" and I LOVE their renditions of some of the traditional Christmas songs. They even have some non-traditional songs that are so cool. I actually bought their 2 Christmas CD's!

My all time favorite Christmas song is "Do You Hear What I Hear" and OMG... they have a video on YouTube that is AWESOME! They just released a video of "Silent Night" that is so sweet. And, how can I forget... check out their video of "O Holy Night". And, if you want a good laugh, check out their video of "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer".

Best of all, there are some die hard fans of theirs that video their concerts and upload them on YouTube as well. They add little touches to the songs in concert just for the fans.
 
I LOVE :heartslub Christmas music! I start listening usually in early november at home & as soon as the holiday stations are available on sirius radio in the car! :happydance

My favorite at home is definitely the Pentatonix Pandora station! My favorite song is the Carol of the Bells
:tree
 
Christmas Canon is my favorite Christmas song too!!! I can play it on a loop all.day.long. LOL!!

I love Christmas music and listen to it randomly throughout the year. Hubby would rather eat rat poisoning, but he does like Donde Esta Santa Claus! My oldest and youngest love Christmas music and my middle couldn't care one way or the other.

*driving to my moms listening to Christmas music right.now.*
 
I LOVE Christmas music and I have it recorded on my van so I can listen to it ALL YEAR LONG :) I rotate it through just as I do any other CD when I'm driving. Straight No Chaser is AWESOME and one of my daughters favorite and Steven Sharp Nelson "Christmas Cello" is I.N.C.R.E.D.I.B.L.E

I like Christmas music in December.
I love Pentatonix. I just clicked through their newest Christmas album trying to pick a favorite. I can't.

I wish I could share with you the "Nutcracker Jingles" and "Various Themes on Fa-La-La" that my daughter's choir just performed this weekend in their Christmas Concert. The first is a mash up of Jingle Bells and The Nutcracker. The second is Deck The Halls with variations based on Beethoven's Fifth Symphony and Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture. :)
 
I love Christmas music and the more variety the better because when they start playing it 24/7 on one of the very few radio stations I listen to, I tend to get sick of hearing the same song over and over. Lol! I think my favorite is still Josh Groban's Noel CD. :)
 
I LOVE classical Christmas music - old medieval carols, renaissance liturgical music, Palestrina, the Corelli Christmas concerto, German and Austrian carols, In Dulce Jubilo, O Magnum Mysterium, the Vienna Choir Boys, etc etc!! When I was little, my parents listened to all of these on our old phonograph, so they remind me of happy Christmases gone by. :heartlub:heartlub:heartlub

I have refined a PERFECT classical Christmas Pandora station over the years, and it goes on IMMEDIATELY after Thanksgiving!! My poor husband is less of a fan, but I think he has come to accept the continuous loop of Christmas carols as one of life’s many penances :)
 
I'm more of a non-Christmas song person. I like listening to it very close to Christmas, and more upbeat songs, or ones that I can sing along to. This is usually a week before Christmas and I'll listen during my commute and some days at work - usually my own playlist. It drives me bonkers to hear it too early, along with the ads and decorations way before Thanksgiving.
 
I love Christmas music and feel it's okay to listen to all year round. I love Mannheim Steamrollers, John Denver, The Piano Guys, and lots of other artists. They all have great Christmas albums. I always try to pick up something new from one of them each Christmas to add to our collection.
 
I like Christmas music,and I love Carols,the last we week of December... when I used to live at home,my dad I I would sing Christmas songs from mid December, my mum would sigh,and bemoan the fact that she couldn't get in the right frame of mind for it. Then in February or even once April ,christmas carols and songs could be heard loud at our house,as my mum would sing,them for a week or so at the top of her voice while she did the housework...

This has been my fave Xmas song for years! I like the less conventional ones like " I wanna hippopotamus for Xmas" & will always have a soft spot for Wham's 80s classic "Last Xmas"
 
I am also not a huge Christmas music fan. Outside of the 24th-26th, I think there are only two acceptable Christmas albums: Charlie Brown's Christmas and the Nutcracker.

I am, however, partial to Winter White Hymnal, as sung by Pentatonix. I don't think it has anything to do with Christmas, but it reminds me of winter.
