Back in October, I won a ten dollar gift certificate for iTunes just for using Blingo to do a search! Although I don’t have an iPod, I can save the music to my hard drive and play it using the Xbox 360 and running it through the TV and stereo (which is very cool, by the way).
I’ve added a link to Blingo on my sidebar if you’re interested in checking it out. Meanwhile, I want to use the ten dollar credit to buy some new Christmas music. Here’s where you all can help-although I have an extensive collection of Christmas CDs, I’m always on the lookout for new ones. But rather than buy a CD which might have only one or two songs I like, I want to use iTunes to put together a selection of YOUR favorites.
In the comments, tell me the name and artist of your favorite Christmas song(s). It can be a classic or something new, any genre. I’ll pick ten that I don’t already own and hopefully they will be available to download on iTunes (if you felt so inclined to check first, that would be great).
So, you’ll help me out then? Thanks. You’re so sweet!

Dinky-YAY! I’m glad I’m not the only one who likes that Mariah Carey song! And “Police Stop My Car”? HAHA!
David Bowie and Bing Crosby singing The Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth. Oh my god, it’s the best. And if you can’t find it on I-tunes, let me know and I’ll send it to you.
Anything from any of the Very Special Christmas albums — one of my personal favorites is Christmas in Hollis by Run-DMC.
I signed up for that Blingo thing a long time ago but never really used it. Thanks for the inspiration!
As for Christmas music, I’ve always had a thing for Harry Connick Jr.’s version of Ave Maria. I’m getting chills just thinking about it.
I know she’s controversial but Happy Christmas (War Is Over) by John Lennon and Yoko Ono. It just makes me feel all warm inside that they truly believed in humanity like that – that we could all make a difference.
I love all of the songs on John Denver’s Rocky Mountain Christmas and “Meet Me Under The Mistletoe” by Randy Travis.
Sarah from the Goon Squad got me hooked on Blingo, but I have yet to win anything! I’m a loser!
Anything Chrismas-y by the Oakridge Boys.
My parents had a few of their records, and my sister and I would put the record on while dancing around and putting ornaments on the tree. I really should go track down that album before my dad throws it out…
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, Barenaked Ladies and Sarah McLachlan
Till Santa’s Gone, Clint Black (no matter what you think of country music, this in’t too twangy and is seriously cute/funny)
Anything from George Winston’s December album. All solo piano versions of Carol of the Bells, the Holly and the Ivy… beautiful.

I LOVE anything by Trans Siberian Orchestra, but am pretty partial to Christmas Eve in Sarajevo, Wizards in Winter, Christmas Carol, Christmas Jazz, and my very favorite, Old City Bar, which is part of the entire story on the Christmas Eve cd.
Winter Wonderland — Dolly Parton
Medley — Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons
I love everything on Leon Redbone’s Christmas album. You also can’t beat an Elvis Christmas tune. As you can tell, I have very eclectic musical tastes.
“Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer” (not sure of the artist)
“Do You Hear What I Hear” (by pretty much anyone OTHER THAN Whitney Houston)
I came back because I forgot to mention Harry Connick Jr.! LOVE his Christmas album, When My Heart Finds Christmas. Favorite track is “(It Must’ve Been) ‘Ol Santa Claus.”
I also have to agree with Dinky about Mannheim Steamroller … and I definitely have to agree 100 percent with Erin about George Winston. I think you would like everything on Winston’s “December” CD.
I know I’m late, but I have to give a shout out for a couple of my favorites:
Christmas Wrapping — The Waitresses
Last Christmas — Wham!
Blue Christmas — Elvis
Coventry Carol — Alison Moyet
I like a lot of the classics, too, but these are all fun.
