The fishes in the river (http://spanish.about.com/library/weekly/aa120502a.htm).
There's also a song of a Chilean tv show that makes fun of the fact that in Latin America the christmas is in summer. Very clever thought.

I don't have a single favorite tune, I have a lot of them.
"Do They Know It's Christmas? (Feed the World) - Band-Aid
"Greensleeves"
Most of the Vince Guaraldi Trio's songs (from A Charlie Brown Christmas)
"Mary's Boy Child" (Boney M. version)
Most of the Mannheim Steamroller's version of Christmas songs.
"Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12/24)" and "Christmas Cannon" Trans-Siberian Orchestra
"Little Drummer Boy / Peace on Earth" Bing Crosby and Davie Bowie
"Little Drummer Boy" - Harry Simeone Chorale
"Feliz Navidad" - Jose Feliciano
"The Christmas Shoes" - NewSong
"God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" - I like them all, but I think the Barenaked Ladies & Sarah McLachlan do a great version.
"Same Old Lang Syne" - Dan Fogelberg
"O Come All Ye Faithful"
"Joy to the World"
Burl Ives's version of some tunes.
"Christmas Wrapping" - The Waitresses
Man, there are a ton of them that are awesome, but I prefer mostly the instrumental and contemporary versions.

I loved "Believe", by Josh Groban. I believe that was the tune from The Polar Express (which I did not see in theatres).

1. Stille Nacht (Silent Night) from the Mannheim Steamroller Christmas album. It is without doubt one of the most beautiful songs I've heard, especially the ending. http://webpages.charter.net/connectingzone/agree/8.gif
2. "Traditions of Christmas" from Mannheim Steamroller's A Fresh Aire Christmas album. Is there any piece of music that captures the feel of Christmas morning better than this instrumental piece? http://webpages.charter.net/connectingzone/agree/11.gif

I enjoy many christmas songs, espically the classics. Silent Night usually makes me cry. Although that was when I was religious, so not sure now. lately, All I Want For Christmas For You and Grown-Up Christmas List have been 2 very high faves.

Greensleeves is a Christmas song?
Anyway, I like:
-Silent Night
-Carol of the Bells
-My Christmas Tree (a chorus song from Home Alone 2 - it's really very nice)
-Old Friends, New Friends (don't know if that's the official name, it's featured on A Muppet Family Christmas and Jim Henson's The Christmas Toy)
And the rest, I can't recall their names, because I don't have any of my Christmas CDs out yet, and can't check.

I agree with Fone Bone, Angels We Have Heard on High is the ultimate Christmas song. I actually have been singing it for about 3 weeks now, and I have a horrible voice, so my friends are starting to get sick of it. Anyways, another good one is Silent Night and Jingle Bells. I love Jingle Bells, mainly because I can sing it in almost every letter(Bingle Bells, bingle bells, bingle ball buh bay!)

Okay...no. I really like "O Holy Night," and my all-time favorite is "The 12 Days of Christmas." It made me very happy that one episode of South Park had Jimmy sing it as his favorite song. He has my name and my favorite song. Neat. STOP STEALING MY STUFF!

Without a doubt, Snoopy and the Red Baron.
The MacKenzie Brothers' version of The Twelve Days of Christmas is high in the ranks too. I suppose I'm not the greatest fan of traditional songs.

It's kinda early to think about Christmas...dontcha think? Oh well, I'm in the mood for some carols anyway.
Here's my list:
12 Pains of Christmas (Now this is a funny Christmas song!)
The Christmas Song
12 Days of Christmas (Whenever I get into this random mood, this song pops up in my mind)
Pretty Paper
You're All I Want for Christmas
A Marshmallow World
Winter Wonderland (Last year, FOX5 came over to my school to show the music and art department. This was sung by one of the choruses of my school, and they did it really good. Kind of funny how they stopped)
[i]Sleigh Ride
Go Tell It On The Mountain (Yes, this qualifies as a Christmas Song. I even have a book of carols in front of me, and it's right on the list)
My Favorite Things
Happy Holidays
Christmas Waltz
Let It Snow!
The Night Before Chistmas Song
O Holy Night
Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
Maligayang Pasko (Philippine Christmas Song. Even though I couldn't understand it due to the fact that I don't know Tagalog, it's fun to sing).
Since I have to study for 3 tests tonight, these are the only ones I can think off of the top of my head right now. At least this gave me an idea for what I'll be singing in the halls at school around the Christmas season. :shrug:

Saw a flash toon once with a very amusing and well done song =) Not sure if it was a mainstream song or anything, but it was about a guy who hates Christmas because everything that could possibly go wrong, goes wrong. He gets fired, arrested and cheated on, all during Christmas xD

Grandma Got Run over by a Reindeer is one fo those "Crzay ones. but there are others.
Then there are the Jingle Cats and Jingle Dogs doing Christmas songs with Barks and Meows.
Then there is Weird Al Yankovic and he has two of them.
One of them is The Night Santa Went Crazy. (Which talks about Santa going psycho and killing Elves, and reindeer), and then my fave also by "Weird Al'

I don't really have favorites to be honest I can't stand most christmas songs (partically UK ones) since they are just overplayed. Seriously I hear Merry Christmas Everyone by Slade nearly every day at Christmas, that has to be the most overplayed Christmas song ever
