    That is my favorite "Christmas Love Song", but my favorite version is with James Taylor and Natalie Cole.

    My favorite Christmas hymn is "O, Come, All Ye Faithful". Here's a good version by Yolanda Adams.

    Is that the same one Otis Redding does? I forgot to mention that one.

    It most likey is. I haven't heard Redding's version, but I'm going to hunt it down because I've been listening to a lot of Otis lately.

    Lou Rawls just has a great voice for Christmas songs. Playing his "merry christmas, baby" album is a holiday must in my house.

    I'm a big Hall & Oates fan for some reason.

    Also, Christmas in Hollis by Run DMC.

    I cannot believe there has has not been a single mention of The Temptations singing "Silent Night", now that is a classic.

    The most annoying christmas song rendition is by far Dixie Chix - Rudolph The Rednosed Reindeer.. I think Jewel is on it too. Man that is horrible. Aside from it being accapella, they start making these "boingy boingy" sounds. It sounds so damn r****ded.

    Agreed. And (as I said), the Springsteen version of Stanta Claus is Coming to Town is equally crappy.

    Here's a funny story.

    As a kid, I never head the John Lennon Song of "Happy Christmas - War is Over". But in 1981, there was a commercial for Jamaican Tourism that ripped off that song (see below) and I saw that commercial a LOT.

    So now, whenever I hear the John Lennon song, I immediately start thinking "Come back to Jamaica..... what's old is what's new...."
