    Being forced to listen to them at work since 1st of November, I tend to dislike most Christmas carols. I do find Silent Night to be my favorite though.

    I would have to hold out for either Silent Night, or Oh Christmas Tree (Oh Tannenbaum). It is sort of a toss up between them.

    One of my favorite "pop" songs would be the one from 1946 called; All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth.

    hrm, Carol would probably be O Holy Night
    the pop song is a toss up between McCartney's Wonderful Christmastime and Vince Guaraldi's Greensleeves

    That is mine, but only if sung by a woman. Jewel's version is tops.

    Yes, quite so. We sing it when we go caroling.

    I love Elvis' Blue Christmas, plus all of the tunes from his Christmas album. We listen to it while we are decorating the tree.

    Nobody does White Christmas like Bing.

    I am also fond of Joy to the World (not the 3 Dog Night tune of the same title), mainly because I remember eldest daughter singing it when she was not quite three years old. She learned all three of the main verses and was was such a sweet, gentle soul singing it for her daddy.
