I love my old Mitch Miller sing along with Mitch Christmas CD. I had the album as a kid (still have it) and got the CD as soon as I got married to share these wonderful songs with my husband and now my 2 boys.

The Chipmunks Christmas song because it reminds me of my brother and sister when we were young. Running around in feety pajamas, excited to see all the presents... great times! In fact, my sister's calling ringtone is a Chipmunk song (funny now that she is a 41 yr old CEO). Big sisters never let you grow up! :)

My favorite, by far, is John Lennon's Happy Xmas (War is Over) such a good one.
A close second would be coldplay's version of 2000 miles.

There are so many wonderful Christmas songs that it is hard to pick one that is my favorite. I would say my favorite celebrating the birth of Jesus is Silent Night. One of my favorite oldies is The Christmas Song (Chestnuts roasting . . .) and as a child, my favorite was "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus".
