We did this last year but so many new people, I'd like to do it again. What is your favorite Christmas song that can be found on YouTube? This thread is for the posting of those videos only. And must be a Christmas song.

Watch past the first couple of verses, it gets a LOT better than the ol' tired version of the song. :)

(BTW: Their Christmas album is aaaaaaaaaaaaaawesome!)

Last christmas morning, I umm, "accidently" replaced our traditional christmas CD with my own custom CD which included songs such as "the night santa went crazy". Didn't go down too well. But that song is my favourite

[pam]

My 2nd favorite is Johnny Mathis' version of "Do you Hear what I Hear?"

YouTube - Do you hear what I hear? - Johnny Mathis (w/ Lyrics)

[Guest xforeverxmetalx]

not exactly a traditional Christmas song, it's Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and someone who had a bit of time on their hands.

I LOVE TSO!!! It's Christmas enough. Called Wizards in Winter.

Believe - Josh Groban

Silver Bells- Jim Reeves

[Misshalfway]

This is my absolute favorite of all time. I mean this is what Christmas in Utah is ALL ABOUT! Hee hee!

I will just have you know me and my brothers used to lip sink to this entire Christmas album. I had my Marie Osmond microphone that worked for real and my brothers uses our ping pong paddles as guitars. I am telling you, it was a show to be remembered! Choreography and everything!

Silver Bells- Jim Reeves

I'm surprised that you even know who Gentleman Jim is.

And so has the winter (Christmas) reached the far North again,

Winter has reached to our hearts

And the Christmastrees are shining brightly

lightening the small cottages.

But up on the roost there is still

The cage that closes in my singing bird.

But the moaning in the cage has stopped

For who would moan, if one can sing.

(There where you can feel the cent of cypresses even on winter

I am sitting on the branch of the biggest tree.

Where the sea is blue and wine most bobbly

Weather is always like in May

And I can see Etna, beautiful far away

Oh here it all makes you dizzy

And the songs gently sound in the cradle

Who could tell of greater happiness…) This is not usually with the song

Let your brightest shine of all stars

Shine over my Finland... far away

And when your shine goes out

Bless that land of memories

I will never find anything like it again

Finland will be the dearest and best for me forever

And as a thank for that

Will this song of Sylvia sound

Highest of all songs.

Here you can choose which one you want to hear....

YouTube - Syklvian joululaulu

[Maya]

This one too is worth reading trhough..

Light a candle, a candle is going to shine for this little Earth

This shiny heavens star, where we all live

May everyone deal the hope that good things will happen

May Eartha and skies meet. A candle is light for that

Two candles are to shine for love and for faith

For those who care and those who always build bridges

May prisoners be freed and refuges find a home

Light a candle for those who cry and for those who comfort them

Three candels will now shine for everyone who has to fight.

For rigiousness and for freedom. They need help from us.

May no one loose their hope as all the people are one.

Light a candel for the one who fights for freedom and for rigiousness.

Now all four candles are light for him

Who loves everything that lives, every lion and every lam.

Light a candel for the king of heavens who saw the flock of goats

Now Eartha dn Heaven meets on the child laying on the straw

I did not try to put the words in the song I just translated it her the song:

Here's another one. The guy in this video wrote this song. I knew him while we were both on our missions, where I first heard him sing this at a mission Christmas conference.

One word: A.maz.ing.

[Wingnut]

Here's another favorite. Even if you think you don't like the song at first because it's over and over again, keep watching -- you're in for a surprise. My favorite part comes at 1:20.

[Wingnut]

Whoops. Sorry to steal your thunder. My favorite part still comes at 1:20. :)

[pam]

I love that part as well..but I love Jerome during the Toto sequence, when he sings the "five golden rings."

[Ragnar]

Angels, From the Realms of Glory - The Christus Statue part makes it extra special!

12 Days of Christmas - The guys at Music and the Spoken Word do like to have a little fun!!
