Favorite Holiday Album
« Thread Started on Nov 29, 2003, 11:57am »
Mine hands down is "John Denver and the Muppets: A Christmas Together." John Denver's voice is so soothing, and the Muppets are just funny, as usual. I also love John Denver's "Rocky Mountain Christmas" album. My parents used to play his stuff all the time. It just isn't Christmas without him.

My mom and dad used to always play this old LP from the 70s (judging by the cover anyway) called "The Oak Ridge Boys Christmas".
I can never think of Christmas Eve without it. There's something about those scratchy LP sounds that makes the music even more cozy, too.

My parents like all the classic carol performers, like Bing Crosby and Perry Como. My dad always plays ELVIS' Blue Christmas album. As for me, I don't really have a favorite holiday album. When I was little, I used to have an LP of Christmas carols as sung by Disney characters. Now that's a unique holiday record. Pretty much any Disney character you can think of gets a turn at "The 12 Days of Christmas."

I think I had the same Disney Christmas album. Goofy gets the "5 golden rings" and sings "5 onion rings" one of the times through...and Chip and Dale do the Chipmunk Christmas song (want an plane that loops the loop...me, I want a hoola hoop) only to get interrupted by Donald Duck singing off-key, and the song ends in them all fighting.

I'm fond of anything with Carol of the Bells on it, and almost any Celtic Christmas compilation.

Yep, that's the one!

My Mom would always play Elvis' "Blue Christmas" album, as well as The Carpenters Christmas album. Karen Carpenter had such a beautiful voice.

We also had the Chipmunks' Christmas album, and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's Christmas album, which included Carol of the Bells.

My family was nuts about Christmas, and still are. This year, they began playing Christmas songs like two weeks before Thanksgiving. But that's a little insane. I think beginning at Thanksgiving is the earliest one should start.

I can't wait to get back to Lakewood so that we can decorate our apartment! Here in NY, it doesn't really feel like the holiday season. It seems like only the stores are celebrating it at the moment, and they are way too commercial for my taste.

I had a cassette of the Chipmunks Christmas Special, the one where Alvin wants a Golden Echo Harmonica and ends up giving it to a sick boy. Not a video cassette, mind you. An audio cassette tape. I used to listen to the Chipmunks Christmas Special. I didn't know it was a show, though, until years later.

Generally, I make a playlist with my holiday favorites, including John Lennon's "So This is Christmas", Queen's "Thank God It's Christmas", The Beatles' "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree", Tori Amos' "Little Drummer Boy", and Adam Sandler's "Hanukkah Song".

The only album I ever equate with the holidays on any emotional level would be Enya: Shephard Moons, which is not a holiday album, but which "sounds" like late December, and which I used to listen to each holiday season.

Similarly, I like to listen to most things by the Medieval Baebes. They have a holiday album (which I want) but all their stuff has a festive quality.

(When they're not singing about a memento mori...)
