Christmas Music

[War on Want]

What do you guys listen to for christmas music?

Christmas With Weezer is really good. I also have around 12 scattered christmas songs for listening, when my parent's christmas music annoys me.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I listen to Bob Rivers' parodies, whatever is on the radio, and my favorite is Bruce Springsteen's Santa Claus is Coming to Town.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Usually either an old traditional gospel singer, Cristy Lane, or the Croonies such as Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, Dean Martin, etc.

[The Mikado]

Youtube has a great collection of (Washington's own) Placido Domingo.  I'm listening to his "Christmas in Vienna" numbers right now.  I just listened to a really great "Silent Night" where he and two other singers individually sung Silent Night in German, French, and Spanish, and then sung it in all three languages together.

[CARLHAYDEN]

Christmas at the White House (1972) record only (no CDs at this time) Burl Ives.

My favorite:  We Three Kings/Quest of the Magi

Lyrics
We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar.
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following yonder star.
REFRAIN

O star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect Light.
Born a king on Bethlehem's plain,
Gold I bring to crown Him again,
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign.
REFRAIN

Frankincense to offer have I.
Incense owns a Deity nigh.
Prayer and praising, all men raising,
Worship Him, God most high.
REFRAIN

Myrrh is mine: Its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom.
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding dying,
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb.
REFRAIN

Glorious now behold Him arise,
King and God and Sacrifice.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Earth to the heaven replies.
REFRAIN

97.1 WASH FM . . . 24/7 Christmas music.  It starts Thanksgiving week and runs through the end of the year.

That always annoys me.  I think it starts too early.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Emo.

[exopolitician]

Ugh. I don't understand how you can tolerate listening to it. Humbug....

[Sensei]

Well, I just finished my traditional X-mas viewing of S1E10 of "The West Wing", in which "Little Drummer Boy" is featured prominently. So that.

[Keystone Phil]

My favorite:  We Three Kings/Quest of the Magi

I love it. They sang it at mass tonight even though it's technically a song for the Epiphany.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

YES! I have this album!

Since Baptists don't celebrate Epiphany, its still a good Christmas Carol.  For me, January 6, 2009 is a day to go to work, make money, and watch the GMAC Bowl.

Bing, Deano...everyone

[dead0man]

I don't listen to it on purpose.  I hear it enough just existing this time of year.

Ha, then you would hate to be around me, lol!!  I start listening to Christmas Music in preparation for the upcoming Holiday Season sometimes in April or May, and in earnest starting July 5.
