And one from one of my favorite bands - Iron Maiden!!!

Light the lights
Ring the chimes
Come on In, It's party time
Raise a glass for auld langs sigh
Come on, Rock it up for all mankind

It's good to see friends I know
Kissing under the mistletoe
I love to hear the children sing
It looks like Santa's gonna bring

Another Rock 'N' Roll Christmas
Another Christmas Rock N Roll
Presents hanging from the tree
You'll never guess what you've got from me!

Another Rock 'N' Roll Christmas
Another Christmas Rock 'N' Roll
We better hold each other tight
You never know it might snow tonight

Guys and Girls
Stay up late
So excited they can't wait

Let there be peace on Earth
Come on, Rock 'N' Roll for all your worth

We're gonna laugh (ha!)
We're gonna sing
We're gonna make the rafters ring

I'll pull my cracker
Let me be
The silver star upon your tree

Another Rock 'N' Roll Christmas
Another Christmas Rock 'N' Roll
All dressed up
So here we go
Do I hear sleigh bells, in the snow?

Another Rock 'N' Roll Christmas
Another Christmas Rock 'N' Roll
Tonight old santa never, ever stops
Going down the chimney tops

You'll be rocking, In your stocking
When you see your big suprise
Cause I'll be rocking, In your stocking
You won't believe your big blue eyes

Come on in and join the fun
It's christmas time for everyone
May your days be merry and bright
Cause there ain't gonna be no silent night!

See the stars
Dance and sing
Come with me and see the new year in
No-one's looking, Kiss me quick
Come on, Rock 'N' Roll for old Saint Nick

Another Rock 'N' Roll Christmas
Another Christmas Rock N Roll
Presents hanging from the tree
You'll never guess what you've got from me!

Another Rock 'N' Roll Christmas
Another Christmas Rock 'N' Roll
We better hold each other tight
You never know it might snow tonight

Christmas!, It's Christmas!

I wish I was able to thank or rep my own post! I just watched this and was reminded why I always loved Elvis so much. In his prime, this was one of the best singers/entertainers of all time!!

and last, but not least, from one of the best composers in history (in my opinion)... the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah


BTW... the tradition of standing during the Hallelujah Chorus was begun by King George II.. who stood when he first heard this... (and when the King stood, everyone had to)... I think he was blown away by the majesty of the piece...

BTW.. or maybe he was just stretching his legs :)

My all-time favorite Christmas song.
RIP Patty Donahue (lead singer for The Waitresses)

I always liked this 90's ethereal guitar version of Frosty the Snowman. I dare say it is the only recording of the Cocteau Twins where anyone can understand Elizabeth Fraser's lyrics. :D

This video + lyrics = a Bronx Christmas

I LOVE Lou Monte... he was a singer of novelty songs with an Italian theme.. his most famous song was "Pepino, the Italian Mouse"...... (which seems to be appropriate for me... I have them in my attic!... I've been baiting him with vino and Provolone, but he stole my girlfriend ... that nasty little mouse!)

Working in retail during Christmas pretty much killed any liking I had for the traditional Christmas music.

I pretty much only listen to Trans-Siberian Orchestra versions now.

This is the prettiest version of Christmas Canon I have ever heard:

The rock version (equally as good):

My absolute favorite song on the video. Jewel's voice seems to be so fitting for it:
