Christmas songs

[Old Scatterbrain]

Wow, watching the vids of that little girl, and the Celtic wimmins singing O Holy Night, I don't think I'll post a vid of me, I would very much pale by comparison.

I think you should let the people here decide that.

[Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172]

I think you should let the people here decide that.

 

 

Yeah, Grizz. Whot OS sed. Sing out with them silver tonsils and let us hear it. After all, it ain't about you and me.

[Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619]

I like Adeste Fidelis and Good King Wensceslas.

[Pulp, SASS#28319]

Someone mentioned "I'll be Home for Christmas", here's a mighty fine version of it:

As far as my favorites, I really like "What Child is This" and "O Come O Come Emannuel". Both are in minor key, and I love playing them on harmonica. "Silent Night" comes in close to the top, and "O Holy Night". Those four all sound good on a G harp. Heck, I just might make some videos so y'all will have somethin' to scare the boogie man away with.

[Blue Hare]

I love Elvis' version of White Christmas ( Or Bing's.. or Johnny Mathis)

[Subdeacon Joe]

Stille Nacht

 

 

 

for a secular winter song

 

Let It Snow

 

[Dusty Balz, SASS#46599]

Without a doubt, always been my favorite, John's Angelic voice and the thoughts of the range and Christmas.

[Grizzly Dave]

For non traditional songs, I like this one

 

[Aries68, SASS # 23876]

I love that version of Let it Snow by Kylie Minogue. She's still sexy. Also, love Christmas For Cowboys by John Denver from that Rocky Mountain Christmas album from 1975!

Also, love this from Shelby Lynne!.......

This is the purest, prettiest, version of this song I have ever heard.

It give me chill's every time I hear it.

I keep it on my favorites list.

[Subdeacon Joe]

And, for the in church part - from Compline of the the Nativity

 

God Is With Us (з нами Бог)

 

[Anvil Al #59168]

And ya got to have this one at Christmas time.

 

[Spanish Bit Bobb]

I also like O Holy Night. I like Michael Crawfords rendition with the Trans Siberian Orchestra.

 

[Big Jake1001]

I kinda get a kick out of Trans Siberian Orchestra playing "Wizards in Winter"

How about "It's a Holly jolly Christmas(?) by Burl Ives. Got that song in my head all day today for some reason even though I haven't heard it in at least a year!!

[Deja Vous]

O Holy Night is my favorite...

 

Though my daughter and I are partial to 'Silent Night' too - which we sang two years ago at church together

"O Holy Night" sung by Jim Nabors. It still gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it.

[Iron Pony]

Well Christmas Time is Here from A Charlie Brown Christmas is one of my favorites but it has to be Nat King Cole singing the Christmas Song.

[Dorado]

I see no one's mentioned Carol of the Bells. I've played that one a few time and I've come to like it.

[Bama Red]

For non-traditional, this ranks right up near the top of my list:

 

[Marshal Dan Troop 70448]

Stille Nacht

 

 

 

for a secular winter song

 

Let It Snow

 

WOW! Thanks for posting Silent Night in German. I'm not usually an emotional person. But my mother would sing to us kids, Silent Night, and O Christmas Tree, each year at Christmas. Later to Nieces and Nephews. She had a beautiful voice, and would sing in the church choirs. Not in German, but english she was picked one Christmas Eve mass to sing. I'll never forget it, nor the moment. After she died, I never played, nor listened to Silent Night in German again, reminded me, as Christmas does for me and many the years past, and the wonderfull family memories we cherish of Christmas. I just finished listening to Stille Nacht, and memories flooded back, closing my eyes, of my mother singing. When it finished, my cheeks were wet, my eyes were briming with moisture.

Thank you Joe. You have no idea what you brought for me this Christmas by putting it on. MT

[Aries68, SASS # 23876]

My 2 favorite Christmas albums are the Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack by Vince Guaraldi and Twas The Night Before Christmas by Fred Waring from back in the 1940's, I think with the classic Normon Rockwell painting on the cover of the old album, not yet on CD, I don't think.

Also, she does a beautiful version of Christmas Time Is Here too from a few years ago......

Thanks Dusty that is great! I fergot all about that one! Rye

[That Masked Man]

My brother and I used to sing this one, I guess when I was four or five.

I don't remember where we learned it or if we made it up, but it's sung to the tune of "Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer"

 

Randolph the six-gun cowboy

had a very shiny gun

and if you ever saw it

you would turn around and run

 

All of the other cowboys

used to laugh and call him names

they never let poor Randolph

join in any poker games

 

Then one foggy Christmas Eve

Sheriff came to say

"Randolph with your gun so bright,

won't you shoot my wife tonight?"

 

Then all the cowboys loved him

and they shouted out with glee,

"Randolph the six-gun cowboy,

you'll go down in history!"

 

OK, it's silly and simple, but since it's cowboy related and this IS the Saloon - there ya go.

 

Hi-Yo and Awwwaaaaayyyyy,

TMM

[Chili Pepper Kid, SASS #60463]

I love Christmas music. It's hard to choose but right now my favorites:

 

Mary, Did You Know?

 

Go Tell It On the Mountain.

 

 

 

I have a Christmas CD titled "A Cowboy Christmas" that I got when we were in Colorado Springs a few years back. It's by the Flying W Wranglers. It's my favorite Christmas CD.

Marshal, now you got me crying. Thank you for sharing that with me. And I'm glad I was able to help you relive some special moments.

 

And Merry Christmas, sir.
