The Christmas songs I like to sing are older than those....Like Silent Night and O Come Emmanuel. The old songs I like to hear on the radio would include Bing Crosby's White Christmas.

[Red Oak]

Crosby's White Christmas is great, and his Silent Night is also.

Have you ever heard the "Little Drummer Boy" Bing did with David Bowie shortly before Bing died ?

I get nostalgic around Christmas and New Years.

I've seen the video of Crosby and Bowie singing that song. Strange...

Thats a great choice. Not only is it a great choice, it won the Academy Award for best origional song when it came out, 1942, I believe, and for years and years it was the highest selling song of all time, with sales of well over 100 million, quite a feat back in the day.

Note; As a youngster I did dream of a White Christmas, today, not so much though.... Yes, I'm a Grinch

I like Silver Bells too. Same type of song.

But I really like caroling type songs. Oh Holy Night is one of my favs.

[Red Oak]

Another I really like is Dan Folgeberg's "Old Lang Syne".

It is a great sad story song, based upon something that happened to him; and strikes a personal not with me also.

No, because I knew you'd be sympathetic, understanding, and feel sorry for me.

The Christmas Song "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire"

I love 'Silent night'...but there are so many memorable Christmas songs and carols to pick from.
