A favorite is Bing Crosby's Do you hear what I here and nearly anything from Kenny G

Said the night wind to the little lamb
Do you see what I see
Way up in the sky little lamb
Do you see what I see
A star, a star
Dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite

Said the little lamb to the shepard boy
Do you hear what I hear
Ringing through the sky shepard boy
Do you hear what I hear
A song, a song
High above the tree
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea

Said the shepard boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know
In your palace wall mighty king
Do you know what I know
A child, a child
Shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Let us bring him silver and gold

Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say
Pray for peace people everywhere
Listen to what I say
The child, the child
Sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light

The child, the child
Sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light

It simply is not Christmas without Johnny Mathis' Winter Wonderland

Carol of the Bells. Number One with a bullet.

It is interesting to read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carol_of_the_Bells indicating that it may have pre-historical and/or pre-Christian origins.

The wikipedia has an external link to a collection of MP3 files. At least one sounds like ancient instruments from the mid-east.

I'm old enought to remember the good old days before Alvin and before Little Drummer Boy. Ahem.

And, seriously, I attended a sing-along-Messiah some years ago and have not recovered. If something like that is done in your area please attend even if you (like me) can't sing.

Best wishes to all of you.

"Walking in the Air" from "The Snowman" animated short film. If you've never seen this, you should. Beautiful pre-computer animation and a wonderful story - mesmorizes kids. This is not Frosty the Snowman.

Spoiler warning: the link below with the music is from the best part of the film.

I'm undecided for just one, so here's my three favs.

The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late), Alvin & The Chipmunks

Santa Lost A HO, and Daddy's Drinkin Up Our Christmas, both by The Christmas Jug Band.

To me, these three pieces epitomize the aniticipation, fun and reality of Christmas. [:'(]
