This question was posted on one of the numerous quizzes over on MySpace, so I decided to ask other Browncoats about their faves. It's too hard to narrow it down to just one, so let's say top 5. What do you love, and why do you love it?
1) Oh Holy Night by Charlotte Church. The best version of this song, EVER. If you haven't heard it, GET IT!
2) Maria by Garth Brooks. This is not Ave Maria, but another song entirely. I dare you not to tear up.
3) Little Drummer Boy by Chicago. The harmonies on this version are fantastic!
4) Blue Christmas by Porky Pig. Ok, for those of you unfamiliar with this song...some guy is singing as Porky Pig with some woman laughing hysterically in the background. It sounds like it was recorded in someone's basement. This song is hysterical and quite addictive. Oh, and no one knows who it is. (I have it, if anyone wants an MP3.)
5) The Frost Miser Song from The Year Without A Santa Claus. This is my most favorite Rankin/Bass Christmas special from when I was a kid. I always sing along when Ol' Frosty starts singing.
Ok, that's my list. What's YOUR favorites?

Everything from the Muppets Christmas Carol.
And Weird Al's "Christmas at Ground Zero."
I also love the Farscape fanvid for Faith Hill's "Where Are You Christmas?" ( http://www.farscapefantasy.com/videos/index.php?set=video&id=391)

Best Part: 1 minute, approx 52 seconds, when John is walking *perfectly* in sync with the beat of the music- awesome.

In no certain order:
1) Blue Christmas, Elvis Presley
2) White Christmas, Bing Crosby
3) God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman, Garth Brooks
4) Carol of the Bells, Ummmm...probably a tie between the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Transiberian Orchestra
5) One Foot In Front of the Other, Mickey Rooney (from Santa Claus is Comin' To Town)
There's 5...that wasn't as easy as I thought it'd be...Of mention for me is also We Three Kings, and Good King Winceslas...Also Sleigh Ride...that crazy instrumental version they play all the time on the radio this time of year...
