I like Christmas - the spirit and joy of it. And I still watch and enjoy It's A Wonderful Life every year. After all the water that has passed under the bridge though, I'm finding that I've tired of Christmas songs. It's the same songs every year, just perhaps different renditions by different artists. Jingle Bells came on the radio the other day and I had to change the station. It seems that there aren't any new, good Christmas songs unless I've been missing them somehow. And I don't need a song where some diva is twisting a syllable for 30 seconds with different tones like a howling dog. All the "good" songs seem like ones that I've heard for the past 60 years. And I've seem to grown tired of them now. Am I missing something? "Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it."

Lol! Haha, spot on. Perfect example of what I'm talking about. Don't want some diva sexing up Christmas like a howling dog. "Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it." L.Tolstoy "A government is just a body of people, usually, notably, ungoverned." Shepherd Book | |||

I agree. I actually enjoy the old church hymns, but still like Mannheim Steamroller. Any dog can be a Guide Dog if you don't care where you're going. NRA ENDOWMENT LIFE MEMBER | |||

There seems to be only certain Christmas songs that the radio stations will play......do not know why. Rarely do I hear "Mary had a boy child", and others like it. | |||

| No, not like Bill Clinton  |

George Winston's Winter album, not necessarily Christmas, but not far off. Also the Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack. Honorable mention for Trans Siberian Orchestra The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

I will never tire of Bing Crosby, Burl Ives, Andy Williams, et al. Those classics never get old for me and take me right back to my childhood and mom playing those old Firestone Christmas albums on the hi-fi. The new garbage? Yeah, howling dogs is a good way to put it. You can have anything written after about 1970. ________________________________________________________ It is long past time for a Convention of States. The Founding Fathers gave us this tool to fix an out of control government and we need to use it. | |||

Agree, can't beat Mannheim Steamroller. But I also think Andy Williams...despite being played a lot, remains classic. This remains a favorite. SIGforum: For all your needs! Imagine our influence if every gun owner in America was an NRA member! Click the box>>>  | |||

This is probably my favorite While not exactly new but something you don’t hear a lot is Alan Jackson’s Let it Be Christmas album is probably my favorite Christmas album. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad. If we got each other, and that's all we have. I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand. You should know I'll be there for you! | |||

If you like gospel Christmas songs, check out Sandra McCracken's Christmas record from a few years ago. Some traditional songs, some new written by McCracken. All very pleasant, rootsy gospel. Good stuff. Not an original, but I like her laid back version. There ain't much difference in the man I want to be and the man that I really am. | |||

Quickest way to get me to reach for the mute button, haha! I absolutely can’t stand that one. Can I offer this instead? For some fun, maybe a little Run DMC? Maybe a little Grinchiness with Pentatonix? I’ll add a small dose of Dropkick Murphys: And The Waitresses. Gosh, the ability to play the bass guitar like Tracy Wormworth... that’d be a great Christmas present to myself!  Add in some Tom Petty Then toss in some Bing Crosby and David Bowie:  Politicians seem to have forgotten that they work for us, not the other way around. — — — — — — — — — — — — God bless America. | |||
