What's on your holiday playlist?

Hard to answer. Most of my list, I can't identify (recorded them off the radio). And the one I want to find, I can't. It was on a Disney's Christmas album I had in the late 70s. It was by Larry Gross (not Larry Groce who also did Disney songs, or Henry Gross who did Shannon). That album was the best Xmas album I ever had. But, Disney put out so many different ones, it'll never be found again. I just can't find it.

O Holy Night - Josh Groban

And his whole Christmas album, “Noel”

Just reading this email and right now I'm listening to the CD Cool Yule by Bette Midler. It's great and I listen to it every holiday season!!

Funky Christmas by The Godfather of Soul,  James Brown!

My eclectic list of favorites:

Mary's Boy Child/Oh My Lord by Bony M; Twelve Days of Christmas by The Muppets; The Chipmunks Christmas Don't Be Late; All I Want For Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey; Little Drummer Boy by almost anybody, any Christmas song by Gene Autry; Blue Christmas by Elvis; Last Christmas by Wham!; Feliz Navidad by Jose Feliciano; Holly Jolly Christmas by Burl Ives; Happy Xmas (War is Over) by John Lennon & Yoko; Wonderful Christmastime by Paul McCartney; Jingle Bell Rock by Bobby Helms; Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree by Brenda Lee; Sleigh Ride by The Ronettes; and any Christmas song "sung" by real frogs or cats.

Pretty Paper - Willie Nelson

My absolute favorite Christmas carol is Patapan.  I love it in any rendition, but the one by Mannheim Steamroller is on my road-trip playlist no matter what time of year I'm driving.
