Donny Hathaway "This Christmas"

It's such a good song.. I even enjoy versions of it by Usher and Destiny's Child

It's awesome.

You`re right, that`s a great christmas song, so bright and happy
Stephanie Mills did some horrible things with it
You should listen to Vonda Shepards` version

? "What" no Christmas Rappin - Kurtis Blow

I must admit, Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas is also SUCH a good tune to get stuck in your head....

I agree. I so want to hate that song. But I just can't.

I am already sining it without having heard the actual song. My store sells Xmas cards with sound. One of them is the chorus melody of AIWFC.

HamsterHuey said:

Didn`t she make a holiday special many years ago, for vh1?

I like the "Planet Rock" remix of Mariah's "All I Want For Christmas Is You"... the So So Def remix.

HamsterHuey said:

Also, Winter Wonderland by Eurythmics...thats about it.

Shame on me for not mentioning these first:

Israel - Siouxsie And The Banshees
Red Over White - Siouxsie and The Banshees
Il Est Ne, Le Divin Enfant - Siouxsie and The Banshees
Red Wrapping Paper - The Creatures

Of course, anything Harry Connick Jr does or Bing Crosby.

What will the lonely do at Christmas by The Emotions

This Christmas by Donny Hathaway

I forgot "silent night" by the temptations

That song is a masterpiece

Christmas in Hollis-Run Dmc
Kurtis Blow-Christmas rap? I believe that is the title of that song.
Temptations-Silent Night
that Bing Crosby song is tight too
and finally Jackson 5 -Santa Clause is Coming to Town

Twelve Days of Christmas - Bob & Doug McKenzie

Bing Crosby is all about christmas for me, both his music and his movies.

Everyone should have this one

"It`s beginning to look a lot like christmas" by Johnny Mathis is a classic. Dionne Warwick`s version is just as good.

I like "What do the loney do at Christmas" by The Emotions

yo... traditional shit!


"Do You Hear What I Hear"

I'm a JW, but I gotta give props here:
