Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday.
In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.
If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link below. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!
Today’s question is:
What is your favorite Christmas song?

my favorite christmas song is wizards of winter by trans siberian orchestra!!
Currently, my favorite Christmas song would be, “What Child Is This?”.
The Christmas Song even if some of the things mentioned are not readily available in the Philippines.
Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas is my favorite!!! =)
Ah, Lori said it before me! I love anything Christmas by the Trans Siberian Orchestra! Heavy metal Christmas music is how I roll!
I love Jingle Bells by Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters1
This is funny, I have the exact same question!
Mine would be Go Tell It On the Mountain but I like all of them!
I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas! It’s the best song EVER!!
The Christmas Song . . . and The First Noel . . . and Silent Night . . . Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas . . . etc.
Anything I can sing along with!
hmm…silent night I think!
Mele Kalikimaka by Bing Crosby.
My favourite Christmas song is “The Secret of Christmas”, sung by Ella Fitzgerald.
O Holy Night would have to be my favorite. Aloha!
O Holy Night is on top, but really I have a lot of favorites.
I do not really have one. My favorite Hanukkah song is “Hanukkah Blessings” by Barenaked Ladies. It is a truly beautiful song that was recently writte.
I think I may be a bit of a scrooge, I don’t really enjoy music much at all, lol. I get mad when Christmas music starts up for the year BEFORE THANKSGIVING! It shouldn’t start until at least 2 weeks before Christmas. Christmas is only ONE DAY.
Yep, a scrooge.
I do like Jingle Bell Rock.
Gosh, there is no way I could choose just one as I love Christmas music SO much. I must say though that I especially love John Denver’s Merry Christmas for Zachary.
I love Baby It’s Cold Outside or The Elf’s Lament by BNL
I love ‘I Pray on Christmas’ by Harry Connick, Jr.
So this is Christmas
O Holy Night! =)
o holy night! – i just love that song …
It would have to be Hark the Herald Angels Sings or Deck the Halls.
I love The Little Drummer Boy with Bing Crosby and David Bowie!
Any choir version of Carol of the Bells. It’s just beautiful.
Holly Jolly Christmas
Is it bad that I don’t really like Christmas music? I guess I like the kid songs…Rudolf the Red nosed Raindeer…but I only like singing it with the kids.
One of my favorites is “Grandma got run over by a reindeer” I laugh everytime.
I really love O Holy Night… but, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen by Barenaked Ladies with Sarah McLachlan is a really fun listen
Hello, long time…
I have a fondness for …
The little drummer boy.
The part where he said” I played my best for Him” chokes me up every time. That is my live desire to do my very best…when “Mary smiled at me”…I cry. I always longed as a child to see my mother smile at me. It is a gift each child deserves. When I think of her not meeting that need, and now knowing that God smiles at me when I do my best or when I error…well that is fulfillment to me. It means I won.
I can’t make a choice. But I sure love Bing Crosby’s Christmas albums. Reminds me of when I was a kid. Anything that gets you to reminisce has done a good job.
All I want for Christmas by Mariah Carey
Toy Packaging by Sara Groves
You should look it up, I was able to download it for free and it’s really funny. I think every parent can relate to it!
I love Harry Connick’s “Winter Wonderland” – especially where he jams on the piano.
O Holy Night is my favorite, if it’s sung well. My favorite to sing is The Christmas Song, or “Chestnuts” as my daughter calls it.
Merry Christmas Darling!
It’s hard to choose, but one of my favourite’s all through my life was “I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day.” The words to the last verse are especially meaningful to me.
o holy night
have a great weekend
One of my favorites is Santa Baby. I really like them all though.
Mine would be Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree.
Silent night is one of my favorites. It send chills down me when you really listen to it.
I love “This Chrismas” by Ashanti
I like Silent Night.
I love the song “Christmas is the time to say I love you” by Billy Squier.
Do You Hear What I Hear?
Just found you! I have several fav songs: O Holy Night, O Come O Come Emmanuel, Breath of Heaven (Amy Grant), Mary Did You Know (Clay Aiken)
Sorry wasn’t able to join this week. I’ve been a little busy.
My favorite is the classic, The Christmas Song.
Sleigh Ride instrumental, Boston Pops.
Hark the Herald Angels Sing! I have fond memories of singing in church with my dad pointing to the hymnal. BUT yesterday, while on the Big Island…I stopped by Walmart in Kona and bought THREE Hawaiian Christmas CDs. Today I am going to listen to the Caz Christmas CD.
Oh dear, I only get one? I’m going to have to go with O Holy Night, I think…
