My Favorite Christmas Songs

I figured I’d make a list of my top 5 favorite Christmas songs. All of these songs provide a special memory for me and I can remember the first time I heard each song. These are all my favorite songs and I would like to know what your favorite Christmas songs are too! If you have a favorite that I didn’t include in my list, add your song in the comment section.

1. The Temptations’ Silent Night

2. Donny Hathaway’s This Christmas

3. Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas is You

4. Boyz II Men Let it Snow

5. Johnny Gill’s Give Love on Christmas Day

6. Nat King Cole’s The Christmas Song

7. Mannheim Steamroller’s Faeries

8. Vanessa WIlliams’ Baby It’s Cold Outside

9. Stevie Wonder What Christmas Means to Me

10.  Celine Dion O Holy Night

I only picked ten songs, but if I could pick eleven, Favorite Things by Luther Vandross would be my choice! Merry Christmas Baby by B. B. King would be twelve, I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus by the Jackson 5 would be thirteen, and the list goes on..

Motown Philly

by Boyz II Men: Today, I was checking my source for new releases, and NOTHING looked as though it would be appealing to my ears. Although, I did see this new song called 100% by Boyz II Men and it has been rumored that the group will release a new album in 2009. I listened to the track and it doesn’t really sound like them, but the guys have gotten older so their sound may have changed. Doesn’t seem that likely, but you never really know. Motown Philly was their first single and surprisingly it was produced by Dallas Austin. This successful R&B male vocal group has won four Grammys and has had 5 #1 R&B hits! It is guaranteed that if Boyz II Men releases a new single, the track will be a hit!
