🙂 <3. That's all I have to say.
I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day. Such a powerful song.
i can’t even tell you how awesome i think it is that that is your favorite chirstmas song. i. love. that. song!!!! good luck on your hunt!
Yes this song rocks!!! One of my faves as well!
Carol of the Bells. More specifically, I love the John Williams version from the Home Alone soundtrack. It’s hauntingly beautiful.
great song! i love holiday music! i can’t help but belt out the lyrics to Feliz Navidad whenever i hear it.
oh, and ‘Baby It’s Cold Outside’ (the Bing Crosby and Doris Day version)! *swoon*
I’m more of a ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas’ kind of girl. The Sarah McLachlan version is just soooo beautiful! are those the urban outfitters headphones? i’m loving them… xoxo
LOVING that song. Oh, Paul! Have a wonderful little trip. Happy shopping.

This is def one of my faves! I also love sleigh ride!
I am literally listening to that song right now! I coulnd’t believe it 🙂
‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas’ circa Judy Garland in Meet Me in St. Louis. Such a precious moment in one of my favorite movies. 🙂
Have fun shopping! What fun. I’m not sure what my favorite holiday song is… I really love them all. 🙂

Oh my God! I just wanted to post the same song as my favourite Christmas song! Woop! (:
Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses! I’d listen to this song year-round.

It’s not Christmas until I hear “Dominic the Italian Christmas Donkey,” just because it’s so wonderfully outrageous and humorous!
Though for everyday listening, I love Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, a good instrumental and now, She and Him.
Love that song!
Have fun on your vintage excursion today!

I love this song!

O Holy Night.
Last Christmas is mine, but I have to admit… your fella’s “The Leave Behind” is a creeper and it has been growing on me since I bought the single (after a tweet suggestion from you) last year.
Donde esta Santa Clause is one of my favs.!
i forgot about this song, i don’t know how i did, duh me. then again, i freaking called your niece bella yesterday, when her name is clearly penny. brain damaged me.
Hmm… A tie between Last Christmas by Wham! And Greatest Time of year by Aly and A.J. 😀 Happy Christmas!
I absolutely love this track. the synths and lyrics make me feel very christmassy. defo one thats plays in our car throughout december and wintry roadtrips.
oh i just love Christmas music! my 2 favorites are prob “baby its cold outside” and “carole of the bells”!!
Hi Elsie! What a fun day you are going to have! I love Oh Holy Night, Especially the line
“…and he appears and the soul finds its worth” So powerful!
xo, Brittan
So glad for these comments. Just been on the hunt for Christmas music that’s not on my ipod.
The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year – Andy Williams, every time.
I totally blogged about my favourite Christmas songs the other day
http://thecraftartykid.blogspot.com/2011/12/its-beginning-to-sound-lot-like.html
Nothing like Christmas music to get you in the mood for the festive season 🙂
Oh Holy Night – Josh Groban version, so beautiful!
this year im loving Emmy the great & Tim Wheeler ‘s christmas album :

i’m traditional: silent night. love singing it to my babies.
also no fair that you get to buy from a private seller. my sis owns a vintage shop and gets to do that on occasion! too fun!
Oh dear, I can’t handle this song after a season of working retail where I heard this on the store soundtrack every five minutes. It would be great, in moderation 😉
I love “Rocking around the Christmas Tree” <3 It's my all time fav! =)
OH! "And Baby It's Cold Outside" is a close second! lol
http://julies-thisandthat.blogspot.com/
Donde esta Santa Claus is one of my new favorites, but an old favorite is The Christmas Song by The Raveonettes. It’s soooo good.
Baby It’s Cold Outside is my personal favorite. Happy Holidays!
I love Mariah Carrie’s all I want for Christmas is you!
My favorite Christmas Song is The Holly and the Ivy and Christmas Waltz. I love the holidays!
frank sintara’s Jingle Bells. I’m currently teaching it to my english students. I don’t think they appreciate Frank quite as much as I do though.
“This Christmas” by Chris Brown or Elliott Yamin
happy christmas john lennon forever!
Last Christmas and Santa Is Comin to Town are my favorites 🙂 thanks for sharing yours!

I have to say Driving home for Christmas by Chris Rea. I just love that song! 🙂
I make a Christmas playlist every year. You can see them here: http://fashionisevolution.blogspot.com/2011/12/my-yearly-christmas-playlists.html
But if I had to pick one all-time favorite Christmas song, it would probably be “Christmas Wrapping” by The Waitresses . . . or “That Was the Worst Christmas Ever” by Sufjan Stevens . . . or “All That I Want” by The Weepies . . . or “The Christmas Song” by The Ravonettes . . . or “Blue Christmas” by Elvis. Ooooh, why is picking favorites so hard for me?
such a beautiful song, one of the best out there for sure! ♥
I love that song too!!! I don’t think I can pick a favourite Christmas song. There are so many I love. Right now I’m really liking Michael Buble’s new Christmas CD.
LOVE this song, thanks for posting! pink martini’s version of white christmas is for sure one of my fav’s…

Happy Christmas (War is Over) – John Lennon
Makes me weepy!
Tough question! I adore the entire Charlie Brown Christmas album — so perfect for a snowy day of baking and decorating and perhaps a bit of Christmas boozing. I also love Metallica’s version of Carol of the Bells!
tK 🙂

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas but only Judy Garland versions! I completely believe everything she is singing. It’s just so perfect it almost makes me cry!
Wonderful Christmas Time is actually one of my absolute favorites. I discovered it on the original “NOW” Christmas album, haha.
And my favorite Christmas album…don’t laugh…*NSYNC’s Home for Christmas. I got it for Christmas when I was 8, and since then, it hasn’t felt like Christmas without it 🙂
Your blog is awesome ! I stumbled on it by accident and Im so glad I did!
Linsey @ Babes in Woods Vintage
that’s my favorite christmas song too!!! i love him and the beatles. 🙂
and rockin’ around the christmas tree always gets me.
I’ve never really been that into Christmas music, but I’m digging Christie Dupree’s Christmas song that she just released!
Hope you had a great day, Elsie! XO
Baby It’s Cold Outside…any version, but the version with Zooey Dechanel is one of my favs.
Baby it’s cold outside!
Enjoy your trip!!

that is one of my all time favorites! another one that i absolutely love is Bing Crosby and David Bowie’s medley duet of “Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy”. sooo good!
I love all of the Nutcraker so, so much. In all its spooky glory. It’s been on repeat in the apartment!
The Drifters version of White Christmas makes me giddy!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9dW6wkA-s0&feature=related
And, of course Vince Guaraldi’s Charlie Brown Christmas album is the greatest.
Hope ya found some good stuff today!
I love that song too! But my favorite has to be ‘Baby, it’s cold outside’ by really anyone!
I love it too!!
I like this song!!!!
ave maria
“Christmas Time Is Here” from A Charlie Brown Christmas is definitely up there on my list. I loved how Wes Anderson used it in The Royal Tenembaums. 🙂
LOVE this song! {And everything about Paul McCartney}
love love love Otis Redding especially his rendition of White Christmas. Just beautiful!
I’m Jewish, but I happen to REALLY like Feliz Navidad (sung by José Feliciano or Harry Belafonte) or anything by Boney M. Those are the ONLY “christmas” songs I like. Otherwise, it is all like nails on a chalkboard to me.
This year I’ve been playing Bela Felck & the Flecktones’ album “Jingle All the Way”, and the delicious “Rockabilly Christmas” album I bought off of iTunes in late November. As for specific tracks, the Verve’s groovin’ remix of Billie Holiday’s version of “I’ve Got My Love To Keep Me Warm,” The Temptations’ “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer,” Brook Benton’s “This Time of Year,” Sufjan Steven’s “We’re Going To the Country!”, and lastly (but certainly not least) John Denver’s “Aspenglow.”
Yay on vintage hunt! Oh, I really like “Santa Baby”- I play that to my hubby so he tells Santa what’s on my wish-list 🙂
Happy treasure hunting!
Good luck!

“We Wanna See Santa Do The Mambo” by Big John Greer (I think it’s a 50’s song). The perfect song for making Christmas cookies!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTONwTXTtwg
I really love Christmas. Like really, really, love Christmas. So the question is what Christmas song do I NOT like. I loooooove Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas is You.” I dance around like a crazy person to this song. I love the Chipmunks Christmas song and the A Charlie Brown Christmas album. I also really love A Fine Frenzy’s and She & Him’s Christmas albums. As far as traditional Christmas songs, I like “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” because, in my opinion, it’s the most epic of all Christmas songs.
I hope you have a great time. I can’t wait to see what you come home with. xo, rv

Last Christmas George Micheal, I kid you not…
This is my favorite Christmas song, too!! It’s so cheerful and happy and fun =) <3 Paul McCartney
Have fun!! My favorites are “Christmas’s when You were mine” by taylor swift and “believe” by josh groban! 🙂
<3Chelsea Elizabeth
I think I have way too many favourites to decide! I love Spaceman Came Travelling as it reminds me of dancing around with my sister in the back of the car!
Have a great trip!

I love this song, too! But I think there can’t be one favourite christmas song for me, I could listen to almost all of them all the time these days 😀
xoxo
For christmas I love the whole soundtrack from the ,,Home Alone” movie 😀

A very good choice, but my favourite is definitely ‘Merry Christmas Everyone’ by Shakin’ Stevens. It really gets you in the Christmas groove and get stuck in my head the entire christmas season.
Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas. Makes me cry everytime I hear it.
oh Thank Heavens! All of my friends absolutely hate this song and I love it. 🙂
“Beautiful Star of Bethlehem” by Emmylou Harris, “Pretty Paper” by Willie Nelson, and the entire Brenda Lee Christmas record. I love a classic country Christmas!
Hands down, The Waitress, Christmas Wrapping song!
O Holy Night by the Lettermen. Chills and sometimes tears. It’s the best. 🙂
I have three, i just can’t help it:)
1-Wham: Last Christmas
2-Gayla Peevey: I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas
3-Dean Martin: Baby, It’s cold outside
Mariah Carey “All I want for Christmas is You!!!” Come on people, it’s a classic!!!
I hate christmas songs!!

my favorite Christmas song is Winter Wonderland by A Fine Frenzy. you can listen here! http://sue-and-the-husband.blogspot.com/2011/11/my-favorite-christmas-song.html
mariah carey all i want for christmas is you. no shame.
Sleigh Ride.. hands down without a doubt.
but only the versions that include all the verses and dont extend the ‘through our lives’ part… then again any version of sleigh ride is better than any other christmas song.
…in my humble opinion 😉

Fairytale of New York is, by far, my favourite Christmas song. It’s cheerful but sad and emotional at the same time.
P.S. I love your blog 🙂 Merry Christmas. xxx
I have 2 – A ‘grown-up’ one and a FUN one.
Carol of the Bells from Home Alone soundtrack…so beautiful. Then a song I just discovered…Johnny Mathis singing A Marshmallow World…it’s adorable.
