I love singing but generally sound as though someone is killing a cat, so I keep it contained in own house only :)</p> <p>My Christmas music is varied, and probably changes a bit each year. Long-term faves are: </p> <p>Classical: Handel's Messiah (obvious but still wonderful! I usually end up going to a performance of this sometime over the season- last year my sister and I went to one at St. Martin's in the Fields in London, and it was wonderful!)</p> <p>Pop: River by Joni Mitchell (prob. my all-time favourite Christmas song, and I relate to the lyrics even more since I moved to the UK), also Christmas Eve in My Hometown, the old Bobby Vinton version</p> <p>Hymn: No Crowded Eastern Street (I'm a Christmas Eve only church goer, but I love the caroling at my Mum's church. This is a extremely obscure Canadian hymn that's been my fave ever since I was little. They only sing it every four years or so, though- I'm sort of hoping it won't appear this year, because I'll miss it!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-your-favorite-winter-holiday-music#post-111530 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 19:18:23 +0000 Maya 111530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will add to this list Christmas Time Is Here from A Charlie Brown Christmas. I have had it stuck in my head for days now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-your-favorite-winter-holiday-music#post-111528 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 18:45:22 +0000 shannon 111528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh anything by Bing Crosby, Andy Williams or Johnny Mathis. I have the Time-Life Treasury of Christmas and it's probably my favorite because it has all the old songs my mom used to play. It's hard to pick a favorite song, Little Drummer Boy, Do you hear what I hear. Oh the Harry Simeone Chorale had the best version of Little Drummer Boy ever! I just love the old Christmas music, brings back so many memories. I think I'm going to go play some now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-your-favorite-winter-holiday-music#post-111518 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 18:08:13 +0000 Ana 111518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite Christmas song is "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," mainly because I love the lyrics, how they are about being surrounded with people you care about, and looking forward to a happy and bright future. Even if this year isn't what you had hoped or imagined, there's always a chance to make next year better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-your-favorite-winter-holiday-music#post-111506 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 17:27:56 +0000 Sarah 111506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We used to go to the Messiah in Seattle for my mom's birthday. It's her favorite, and her birthday is a week before Christmas.<br /> Michelle, I don't sing much now. I used to be in an a capella group in high school. But now I'm either on the piano bench or in the pit playing my flute.<br /> I do sing in my car, though. Bryan sings as well, and we like singing together, even just for fun. My cats don't love it, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-your-favorite-winter-holiday-music#post-111502 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 17:17:29 +0000 medusa 111502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I sang second soprano also! What a funny coincidence.</p> <p>Aaaannd my sweetie just found out a friend has NY Philharmonic tickets for Handel's Messiah on Saturday that he can't use! We're going to try to buy them if no one else already grabbed them. Fingers crossed... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-your-favorite-winter-holiday-music#post-111441 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 05:31:31 +0000 Maya 111441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, you *do* live in Seattle Marianne </p> <p>High five Dawn! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-your-favorite-winter-holiday-music#post-111440 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 05:18:08 +0000 taylor 111440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love Christmas music...I sing along to it all:) </p> <p>People ask me if I get tired of listening to it...in the Salon or at Ann Taylor...but I really don't. It makes me happy:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-your-favorite-winter-holiday-music#post-111433 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 05:03:42 +0000 marianne 111433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun thread! I grew up with the Nutcracker so it's a no-brainer for me.<br /> Maya, that's a wrong assumption about US! I know at least 2 dozen people who would say the same thing. I would probably have said so myself 10 years ago :)<br /> Michelle, I like a lot of Britten's music, I should check those out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-your-favorite-winter-holiday-music#post-111385 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 02:38:40 +0000 Dawn 111385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Pogues' Fairytale of New York is my favourite as well, Maya! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-your-favorite-winter-holiday-music#post-111380 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 02:08:13 +0000 chewyspaghetti 111380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 40's era Christmas music- Nat King Cole, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, but my all time fave is Christmas Rap by The Waitresses (who told that little brat from iCarly that she could re-do my favorite holiday song!?!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-your-favorite-winter-holiday-music#post-111379 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 02:03:09 +0000 Maya 111379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Umm, the Pogues--Fairytale of New York.</p> <p>I'm probably alone on this...at least here in the States! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-your-favorite-winter-holiday-music#post-111376 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 01:59:04 +0000 Angie 111376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker suite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-your-favorite-winter-holiday-music#post-111320 Wed, 16 Dec 2009 19:57:26 +0000 Michelle 111320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Second soprano-power! Me too. I love that part. Do you stil sing? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-your-favorite-winter-holiday-music#post-111315 Wed, 16 Dec 2009 19:34:55 +0000 Sarah 111315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle, I sang a bit too.

I LOVE Christmas music in general </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-your-favorite-winter-holiday-music#post-111312 Wed, 16 Dec 2009 19:26:56 +0000 Michelle 111312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I sang in choirs for years, and I miss it desperately this time of year because of all the gorgeous music! As a result I have a soft spot for choral arrangements of traditional carrols. If you play me a soaring descant, I'll either join in or start crying. I don't normally like Benjamin Britten much, but "A Boy was Born" and "A Ceremony of Carrols" are both gorgeous. On the pop side, I've been listening to Sarah McLachlan's Christmas album from a couple of years back quite a bit lately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-your-favorite-winter-holiday-music#post-111311 Wed, 16 Dec 2009 19:20:21 +0000 Sarah 111311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can not listen to Handel's Messiah without crying. I grew up with that, and it's a huge part of our holiday.<br /> I love Christmas music, and right now my two top fave albums are<br /> Jars of Clay Christmas (very whimsical)<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Christmas-Songs-Jars-Clay/dp/B000VRXNT2" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Christma.....B000VRXNT2</a><br /> and<br /> Josh Groban's Noel (can't listen to I'll Be Home For Christmas without crying like a baby)<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Noel-Josh-Groban/dp/B000V6Z0XA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;s=music&#038;qid=1260991143&#038;sr=1-1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Noel-Jos.....038;sr=1-1</a></p> <p>I want this album (Yo Yo Ma)<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Yo-Ma-Friends-Songs-Christmas/dp/B001N9ODBO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;s=music&#038;qid=1260991178&#038;sr=1-1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Yo-Ma-Fr.....038;sr=1-1</a></p> <p>Oh, and Bryan will pick the Swingin' Christmas station on Pandora, and we'll swing dance around the tree. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-your-favorite-winter-holiday-music#post-111309 Wed, 16 Dec 2009 19:18:23 +0000 Louise 111309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love pop christmas tunes.
