What's Your Favorite Non-Traditional Christmas Song?

[C.Ann]

Not the usual "Silent Night" or "Jingle Bells" or the Disney songs - but something less traditional..

Mine is one that someone here provided a link to last year:

"Someone Is Missing At Christmas"..

At first it seems kind of sad, but then it's really sweet at the end..

 

[OK!]

Do They Know It's Christmas? by Band Aid. I can't believe that that was recorded TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO. Geez, I feel old!

Hard Candy Christmas by Dolly Parton

Merry Christmas from the Family--Montgomery Gentry (gotta have a good redneck song for the holidays)

 

[RunningGirl]

I like "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" by the Barenaked Ladies!

My kids love that "Hippopotamus for Christmas" song.

 

[Rose&Mike]

Not a Christmas song, but I love hearing the Hanakah (sp?) song by Adam Sandler. Too silly.

Mary's Boy Child is my favourite.

That's my favorite one too!

I did "Mary, Did You Know?" at Easter-time at the church we used to attend....I still had people coming up to me years later saying how wonderful it was. It is one of those rare songs that can work at Christmas *and* Easter.

And I've always been fond of "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer".

Yeah, I know, I have eclectic taste .

agnes!

I forgot, I also love "Dominic the Donkey", it's just a silly song.

"Same Old Lang Syne" by Dan Fogelberg. Such a beautiful, heartbreaking song and based on his real-life experience. Tears me up every time, but I still love it.
