Favorite Christmas Songs

[imjustlori]

The Husband and I were perusing our (my) EXTENSIVE holiday music collection, discussing which were our favorites. I've been known to buy a two-disc set because they had ONE SONG on it that I had to have (the World's Smallest Turkey, and yes, we found the cd, yay!).

There's one song we're still looking for, that we swear that we own but can't find--Sting doing I Saw Three Ships. I KNOW he did it, it's not showing on any CDs (Christmas or his), so we're thinking it's a hidden track somewhere.

To top things off, when I'm in a store, and they're playing this stuff, I'm singing along. If the arrangement is good enough, dancing too. I love it, and people think I'm crazy and leave me alone, so it's all good.

Anyway, what's your favorite song for this time of year?

the only christmas song i remember Sting doing was Gabriel's Message, on that first 80s-era rock-christmas cd (the one with gold stick-ish figure on a red cover).

Jon Anderson (of Yes) once did a partially-christmas album called Three Ships, featuring the title song.

AH -- always go Google. Sting's Gabriel's Message is on "A Very Special Christmas 1", Sting's Three Ships is on "A Very Special Christmas 3". Where #1 had the red cover (and #2 the green), #3 is brown (http://music.msn.com/album/?album=39986212&song=39986317).
