Who is...

[des1954]

your favorite Christmas song performer?

Mine without a doubt is Bing Crosby!!!

 

[DaveInTN]

Steve and Eydie! I grew up listening to their Christmas music and like to share it with my family now.

 

[big kahuna1]

Snoop Dog.

 

[2goofycampers]

Elvis and Dean Martin.

 

[Pirate-Jeff]

I don't have a favorite. but the remakes by all the new artists SUCK.

 

[auntie]

Frank Sinatra! I always knew it was Christmas when dad put on ol' blue eyes.

"Oh by gosh, by golly..it's time for mistletoe and holly".

Second would be Andy Williams....anyone here (dare I say it...old enough to) remember the Andy Williams Christmas specials?....

 

[Just Beachy]

Bing Crosby's White Christmas!!!! My Mom loves Bing and we always had that playing while we decorated the tree. It always brings back great memories from my childhood. My parents were "older" when my brother and I came along so we grew up wtih all the "oldies" like Steve and Edyie, Ray Conniff, Frank Sinatra, Johnny Mathis, etc. Although I love Martina McBride and some other current-day singers, the "oldies" will always be Christmas to me!!

Bing Crosby's White Christmas....

But, I must admit, the chipmunks "Here Comes Santa Claus" is my ring tone right now!!

Bing and Elvis.

 

[BRDof3]

Alvin and The Chipmunks, both the original versions and the ones from the movie a couple of years ago.

 

[Born 2 Fish]

Dean Martin, Andy Williams, and Danny Kay's "Baby It's Cold Outside"

 

[jriae2000]

Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole

 

[FansoftheMouse]

Dean Martin, Andy Williams, and Danny Kay's "Baby It's Cold Outside"

I love that one too! But Christmas isn't Christmas without my Elvis CD. My mom played the LP every year. It was always the first songs of the season. Blue Christmas rocks!!!

 

[4mickey2]

snoopy or red baron...not sure the name of it.

This is by far my favorite song. yet, they don't play it very often. i think it is by the Royal Guardsman.

I love all of them that ya'll mentioned. The one that brings back the most memories for me though is Gene Autry's "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer".

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen,
but do you recall
the most famous reindeer of all.....

I also love Trans Siberian Orchestra's Christmas album. I have their Nutcracker Suite as my ringtone right now. I also have Carol of the Bells from them as an alternate ringtone.

Rockin Around the Christmas Tree is always one that gets me moving. Run Run Rudolph. I need to make me a Christmas CD. I am gonna use this thread as a starting point.

Thanks for starting this thread.

 

[Born 2 Fish]

Oooooo, I forgot bout them,, I like them real well too.

 

[auntie]

I have a nice Vince Gill Christmas CD that I've had for a few years now. Has become a favorite of ours over the years.

 

[disney92]

Just remembered 1 more.. Any version of Silent Night.

I sang this to my DD throughout the year when she was young. We would lay in bed and cuddle and I would sing this to her till she fell asleep.
