What Christmas song makes you cry?

[SpaceMtnFan]

Over my lifetime I have grew up listening to artist like The Temptations Stevie Wonder and Andy Williams sing some of my Favorite Holiday songs. But none match the Emotional soul like Nat King Cole singing "The Christmas song" which has made me Tear Up. as I recall my childhood memories sitting by the tree Listening to Nat singing that wonderful songs. But I have A Few others that made me Cry for Example.

Im dreaming of a white Christmas
Celibrate Me Home- By Kenny Loggins. A Touching song that sounds spiritual
I'll be home for Christmas
Have youself A Merry Little Christmas
O' come O' Come Emmanuel
The First Noel
O' holy night
Silent Night
Noel Nouvelet
Coventry Carol
O Come all ye faithul
This Christmas- a Great sing A Long song
So what Christmas song makes you reach for the Klennex?

Have a Blessed Christmas

I'll Be Home For Christmas!

 

[dpuck1998]

The snoopy red baron song...really...

 

[Stacy's a freak]

I so agree about...

"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" (as long as it is Judy Garland singing it - Meet Me in St. Louis is one of my favorite movies and I think this is where the song came from?)

"Celebrate Me Home" - Kenny Loggins! When I first read the title of the thread, this song instantly came to mind and I honestly didn't think it would be on anyone else's list I'm so glad it is ... highly underrated.

"Silver Bells" does it for me too.

Great thread!

Silver bells.....

Back story to this one. My uncle and my aunt both play the accordian. Around Christmas time they would always sit down and play together, and always play that song. My grandpa, who was generally pretty quiet, kept to himself, and would never sing, always sang to this song and got a smile on his face. I think partly because it was his favorite song, but also partly because that was the one time the world stopped for a moment and we would all just sit and listen to my aunt and uncle play. In the hustle and bustle of everything, this was the one time everyone was quiet and there was no yelling or hurrying.

My grandpa passed away last year, just two weeks before Christmas. As I drove home from the hospital the day he died, that song was the first I heard on the radio...

Okay I need a kleenex now haha!!!

No Mom can listen to "The Christmas Shoes" by New song without crying. Gets me every time!

O Holy Night just gives me chills.

Happy Christmas Eve by the Oakridge Boys (I just admitted to listening to the Oak Ridge Boys). We listened to their Christmas album every Christmas. It was tradition. Oak Ridge Boys and Manheim Steamroller. But, Happy Christmas Eve always has stood out in my mind. It became very sad when my parents divorced. I still really enjoy listening to the song, but it makes me sad.

For me it's a particular performance/recording. I don't so much react to the song "O Holy Night" but last year's performance of it by Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews on Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip does it for me.

Another vote for O Holy Night. I had a life changing experience around it as a teenager, and it brings me to tears every year.

 

[racingwench]

I have a back story as well. Evidently this song was very popular during WWII. My grandmother as well as my husband's grandmother had stories about this song that to this day bring us both to tears when this song is on.

I'll be home for Christmas if only in my dreams... gets me every time.

I'll Be Home For Christmas - Long story, but I grew up in Colorado but have lived in MA for 15 years and it reminds me of "home"

Christmas Makes Me Cry by Mandisa - This is a new song I found, but yeah sometimes Christmas makes me cry

Emmanuel, God With Us (O Come, O Come Emmanuel) by Point of Grace - Beautiful, sad song!

Wintersong by Sara Maclachlin

"Christmas Shoes"
everytime i cry.

 

[dalt01]

they started playing them here at work before thanksgiving so now each and every one of them is making me cry.

 

[Decorated_Dust]

"Christmas Shoes"
everytime i cry.

I third this.

I also get teary-eyed during the Relient K songs "I Celebrate the Day" and "Merry Christmas, Here's to Many More." No one's probably heard of these two songs, but they are among the very few that can make me cry.

"Hallelujah Chorus," also gets me when it's sung right.

Oh yeah, and "It Won't Be the Same This Year" by Vince Gill. I hope that's the right title, but it's pretty reminiscent of a recent family situation (rather than death, it was jail time, but still).

 

[dalt01]

"where are you christmas"- Faith Hill, from the how the grinch stole christmas soundtrack

No Mom can listen to "The Christmas Shoes" by New song without crying. Gets me every time!

I totally agree ~ gets me every time too!!

Nat King Cole is tops, but a close second is a duet by Bing Crosby and David Bowie singing the Little Drummer Boy. classic Christmas song

Kenny Loggins Celebrate me home is a fav in my Hometown of Columbus . It's played on one of the Local Radio stations. Great song. I want to let my Church Choir director know that I would love to sing the song with some of the choir members backing me up. until that day comes Here is A Klennex and a

That Live Aid song that all of those artists did back in the 80's - "Do they know its Christmas time at all..". I dunno but it makes me happy AND sad at the same time.
