His version of The Christmas Waltz is excellent and not a song anyone else is really associated with as far as I know.


'mistletoe and holly' is his song.

Perry Como has great Christmas songs.

Could be simple nostalgia because my mom listened to him, but as much as I disagree with his swarthy race, I enjoy his voice.

Trivia: A guy I caddied for had a Perry Como putter.

I’ve always felt “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” was the Sinatra song.

It’s Judy Garland. Meet Me In St. Louis version is the standard.

Are you celebrating Simbang Gabi this year, Doc?

They celebrate the masses at my brother-in-law the priest's church. I had no idea there was a large Filipino community in northern Lake County.

No. My in-laws aren’t fans. They think it’s a cash grab.

I only know what they told me. I don’t know anything about it but I think generous donations are expected throughout.

We never did it.

I thought it was just a series of novenas with certain meals afterward. I had never heard of it until my brother-in-law moved to this parish near Antioch. I was kind of surprised that there would be such a large Filipino congregation at his little church.

The Filipinos are a generous people.

Where I grew up for weddings, we had the dollar dance. People would stand in line and throw a dollar in a hat to dance with the bride or groom.

The Filipino side made origami out of 20s/50s/100s and pin them on the bride’s dress or my tux.

There is a certain monetary expectation in gifts/donations in my experience.

Walking in the Walmart parking lot today up to the store they played this quicker version of Merry Christmas Baby. Only caught the end, and couldn't place the singer. Finally found it.

I think you probably could've stopped your sentence at "said" and we'd all come out ahead.

As a Believer, I love a lot of the classic Christmas hymns.
As a music critic, if I hear any more c-lister covers of Donny Hathaway's "This Christmas" or Wham!'s "Last Christmas", I'm gonna set off an m-80 next to my ears to render me deaf.

Great non-trad Christmas songs...
Christmas Wrapping - The Waitresses
The Vince Guaraldi Peanuts album.
U2 "Baby Please Come Home", also see their version of Greg Lake's "I believe inFather Christmas".
I wish I could track down the instrumental version of Joy To The World that my mom played in our restaurant, it was just on some generic cd, but that particular arrangement has stuck with me for 15 years.
Jury's still out on Paul's "Simply having...." - I used to absolutely hate it, but it's grown on me a little as I've aged.

Feliz Navidid is probably the WORST Christmas songs of all time, scratch that. It's just one of the worst songs PERIOD.

in recent years a few new ones for me: "prepare him room" by sovereign grace, "snow" by loreena mckennitt, and i can't believe with my wife being such a big monkees fan it took this long to discover "riu chiu". their harmonizing was awesome. funny coincidence that the hymn is also referenced in the latest joe pera season.

george winston's "december" album is always a must spin during this season too.

Love it.

I have two Bing Crosby box sets.

Interesting note (to me -the rest of you can F-off….Merry Christmas), Bing Crosby thought Fred Astaire was the best singer he ever heard. He noted the way he melodically would phrase the song was impeccable.

More Bing Crosby facts - he got polyps on his vocal cords as a young man that derailed his singing career in the late ‘20s/early ‘30s.

It changed his voice. And then he got famous with his sound.

Good God when I still listened to the radio, I'd hear that song 200x after Thanksgiving.

Im a Bing fan as far as Christmas songs go. Probably not parenting advice however.

in generally I think the First Noel and O Come, O Come Emmanuel hit me pretty good. A few others do too but I'm a general fan of the classics in moderation. The 5 hours of driving every Christmas seems like a good time to fill the consumption.

I like torturing my kids with Blue Christmas.
