    I am a sucker for Christmas music. We own a massive pile of Christmas CD's and I can't wait for my birthday on November 22 to be over so I can start listening to them.

    This is one of my faves, and the cartoon makes me smile. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ooc5eJc5SHA

    And this year, 2 radio DJ's from our Radio 2 released this for a charity show they do in November, and it is up there on my top 10 list. :)

    I like Elvis singing 'Blue Christmas' and Willie Nelson singing ' Pretty Paper'.

    I like the jolly tunes since I am usually really down this time of year.
    I love Rocking around the Christmas tree.

    I like the old time favorite Grandma Got Run Over By A Rheindeer.....no not really but I do think it is funny. I like the traditional...but Jingle Bells is a favorite.

    I love all the old traditional Christmas carols. I can't really pick a favourite as they all make the day really special.

    Oh yes, EJ! That is my favourite cartoon carol of all time. I just LURVEit! It was done so well.
    One thing though--It looks top me like the second link is to the same as the first. Is this what you ment to do?

    DROOPY--that was a very lovely song by that artist. Is it a typical christmas time song there? It is quite lovely to hear.

    And Glenda, 'Rockin' Round the Christmas Tree' is also a fav. Gosh there are just so many that are favs.

    The Carol of the Bells has always been my favorite and my favorite version of it is done by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra under the title of 'Christmas Eve Sarejevo'.

    I don't do much in the way of traditional anything ;)

    This is one Carola made, she recorded it in the Nativity Church in Betlehem too. She claims it came from a bolt of inspiration, and I really like it a lot.
