Hey Stef!
I made compilations a few years ago and ran out of traditional songs. What I ended up doing was making an 80's Christmas cd! There are TONS of good ones to use!!
I used ones like Band Aid, Christmas in Hollis, Feliz Navidad, The Waitresses Merry Christmas, etc.
How about something like that?

Re: Pls post your favorite holiday songs!!

How about using some of the songs from the classic Holiday specials? Like Have a Holly Jolly Christmas, Silver and Gold etc.. I don't think you used the Grinch song before, right?

Re: Pls post your favorite holiday songs!!

oh boy, I'd have a hard time choosing songs, I love them all.

Aaron Neville's Chirstmas CD is awesome.

I also love all the Pottery Barn, Eddie Bauer, etc and other stores CD's that have compilations of jazzy Christmas music. A nice mix for cocktail parties.

I can't remember the others I have, I'll check later.

Re: Pls post your favorite holiday songs!!

ANY Christmas song Nat King Cole sings is AMAZING!
Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy-Bing Crosby & David Bowie
Do They Know It's Christmas-Baind Aid
Silent Night-Stevie Nicks & Robbie Nevill
Santa Clause (I Believe in You)-Alabama

I'm sure there is more...I'll have to think about it!
