I really do not like the 12 days of Christmas or Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer.
Those get on my nerves.

If you ask any family member, what Christmas song makes you think of Grandma, the answer is all the same : The Little Drummer Boy. Man did she hate that song!
Love Oh Holy Night and Do you Hear what I Hear. And anything from The Carpenters' Christmas album. Nostalgic for me. I also like All I Want For Christmas is You by Vince Vance and the Valients.

It's hard for me to pick a favorite but if forced to, it would have to be one that was my Dad's favorite as well . . . Chestnuts Roasting done by Nat King Cole. My other would be Do You Hear.... I do love the hippopotamus one. I love most of the ones done by the old crooners of the 40s and 50s.
Least favorites are some of the newer, more sillier ones like Grandma got run over and the stupid 12 days of Christmas one.
Some Christmas songs I can listen to over and over and over; while others if I hear one more time just may drive me crazy! hahaha

I find Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer amusing, not 12 plays amusing, but one time a year.

When it first came out, I could listen to it a few times in the season but then they played the dang thing to death. Now, if I hear it start, I turn off the radio or change the station. lol
Some I have to hear at least once each year are 'Dat you, Santa Claus and the one with Cheech and Chong talking about Santa. Another is Eagles Please Come Home for Christmas.
I like a mix of music. The old classic hymns and the fun silly songs.
I don't really want to hear some though. Not because I don't like them, but because they make me cry.
The one about the little boy buying his dying mother new shoes does me in every time.

" silent night " has always been my favourite--2018 marks its two-hundredth year in the world--in the late 60's early 70's when bob hope was doing his christmas specials with the troops in nam, they would usually close with that song--simple, moving, beautiful--what christmas and music are meant to be
