Great suggestions here 👍

Hard to single out one, but today it’s probably between these for me:

- Pentatonix: Little drummer boy or hallelujah

- Bing: White Christmas

- Elvis (in his prime): Blue Christmas, especially the clever version with Martha Mcbride

probably be something different tomorrow… Happy Christmas season all!

The Ventures / Blue Christmas 

Prokofiev - Lieutenant Kije’

I know it’s cheesy, but River as sung by Robert Downey Jr.

+1 Jethro Tull

Ave Maria - German version with the Venna Boys Choir and London symphony Orchestra.  I'm not sure who the Tenor is but it is awesome.  

ORIGINAL VERSION of Eagles’ "Please Come Home for Christmas" which was recorded by Charles Brown first.

The "remastered" version is like most "remastered" stuff--not good.

Sexiest video EVER: Same song. Jon Bon Jovi and Cindy Crawford:

Two winners of the genetic lottery, for certain.

Merry Christmas!

Jumping on that bandwagon - so I've given my one choice, but taking a bonus action to endorse:

"All Pentatonix CHRISTmas songs are awesome."

Total +1 to this!

@jafant  +1 Donny Hathaway! You have superior taste!

Es Ist Ein Ros' Entsprungen-  Vienna  Boy’s Choir

New one by John Rich and Mike Rowe:

"Santa's Got a Dirty Job".

On most music platforms, all proceeds go to charity...

Merry Christmas!

Bob Dylan - Here Comes Santa

Robert Earl Keene- Merry Christmas from the Family

how in blazes to choose just ONE xmas song??? that’s like trying to choose just one of any other kinda music. that said, i could take the stereo version of the Ronettes’ "sleigh ride" to heaven with me. there is magic there.

Little Drummer Boy - Pentatonix

All Pentatonix CHRISTmas songs are awesome.

"O Holy Night" - Michael Crawford (1993)

Jethro Tull - Ring Out, Solstice Bells

Ring Out, Solstice Bells

czarivey,

The way arcticdeth wrote the sentence was not correct, hence my comment.

asctim.

That Dylan song is terrible. It sounds like he's joking.

Roxy, 

Heavy metal Christmas R/R Christmas and even Punk Rock Christmas was mentioned here already, but for some reason it doesn't work for you perhaps....

Didn't you know that Christmas isn't only for jazz soul or classical choir??

It's the contrast of Bob's voice with the Ditty Bop backup singers that makes it special.

Peace on Earth - Bing Crosby and David Bowie

Father Christmas  - The Kinks

Santa Claus Wants Some Lovin One of many versions. 

The One And Only …

That makes no sense arcticdeth.

Have metal Christmas and hard rock Christmas!

@alan60 

@iseland 

right on, but I prefer the 4 Skins version

(And so , this is ) Xmas: John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

Hooray for Hanukkah by Adam Sandler

“Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”

Judy Garland

if a person does not know anything, does not understand or does not know how in some area, he can think about it VERY superficially ...

A drug addict, a moral freak or a libertine cannot talk and sing about Christmas ... but this is exactly what can be observed in songs of the entertainment genre ... popular artists have nothing to do with this ... do not forget this!

example of prayer in the mother tongue of Christ

ACDC -- Mistress for Christmass

Her voice is awfully thin and weak on some songs though. I have her Christmas disc because it's one of my brother's favorites, but I find that I rarely listen to it.

'Breath of Heaven' (Mary's Song) by Amy Grant.  Her 1992 Christmas album was finally re-released on vinyl a few years ago and sounds wonderful.

Chris Rea, Driving Home for Christmas, 1986. 

No love here for Durwood Douche's The Christmas Gift?

It was his Christmas present to his dad.
They did 8 tracks.
In between being a football player and becoming a father hisself.

Oh that's hilarious fuzztone. 

Changed my mind.

I offer this classic arrangement of Mel's Christmas Song from 2013.
By the totally fertile Kyle & Jackie.
 

I previously gave a nod to Old Toy Trains by Glen Campbell. From the same album, this song is really beautiful and heartfelt, Little Altar Boy.

Little Altar Boy - YouTube

So many good Christmas songs...I guess I'll go with "We need a little Christmas" Johnny Mathis. Ask me in an hour and I'll probably have different favorite.

Here the link to Darlene Love’s also wonderful "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)", which exhibiting their excellent a musical taste. audiophile and bdp both recommended above.

Bob and Dough Mckenzie, the 12 days of Christmas.

"And a Beer!"

(remember, it ranks up there with stairway to heaven)

Time Life Christmas.  Great collection including Burl Ives, Roger Whitaker, Elvis, gene Autry. Bing Crosby.  There are several different versions .  But this one we like best.  Well recorded.

The Holly & the Ivy

Vienna Boy’s Choir
