I totally <3 James Taylor! Have you heard his son sing? He does a cover of that Macy Gray song I Try. Phenomenal! Here is the link, hope you enjoy:) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eV3ReWUZIe0
Oh and PSS Sweet Baby James is my favorite song of his. I sang both my kids to sleep every night with that song. Ralphie still asks me to sing it to him when he is tired or sick:) Also Pat we got some snow finally so I will be getting pics of my Christmas lights;0 I'll email them to you tonight.
Nissa ~ thanks for the link. He's really good, but then he should be considering who his parents are. Saw him & his mom singing together on one of the morning shows. Sweet.
The Christmas song I have difficulty listening to (I change stations) is "I'll be Home for Christmas". My dad was career navy and rarely home for Christmas. Dad (retired) passed away almost 3 years ago. The song still chokes me up. Sorry.......
Can one of you please tell me where I put the battery charger to my camera? I am freaking out! I have to do a Christmas photo shoot for a paying client tomorrow and cannot find my battery charger. HELP!
Favorite Christmas song is "The Christmas Song" by Nat King Cole. But I gotta tell ya I spluged this week on myself and bought a new Christmas CD. Andrea Bocelli and he does a duet of "The Christmas Song" with Natalie. Beautiful!
So Pat, THANKS!!!!! Holy shit! It fell back behind the fridge. I didn't even think to look in the kitchen because I keep it in my camera bag. So when I was looking in the kitchen Riss told me she had used my camera and had put the charger on the fridge, where it fell behind. That thing would have been there until we moved. Thank you very much:)
Favorite Christmas song is O Holy Night. But it must be sung by someone with a Strong voice or a really good choir. Kinda strange, I'm not religious At All, but I like most of the religious Christmas songs. Reminds me of when I was a little kid.
Found this one with Johnny Mathis.
Nissa, if you listen until the end of O Holy Night, there's a little something special for you.
I have his Christmas CD and love them all. I saw him live at a small theater last year and he was AMAZING in that small venue. He ONLY had a piano accompanying him. I was surprised at how STRONG his voice was. He's still got it! His wife came on stage after the show with their 2 boys.
I also love me some of the Man in Black. Here is a link to Johnny Cash singing Silent Night. It reminds me of my Grandma Maude. We used to listen to Johnny at her house all the time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2FYz_13JNM
Nissa, Did you see Adam Lambert do "Ring of Fire" on American Idol? I thought it was hot hot hot. But I will always wonder if Johnny was rolling over in his grave.
I LOVE jt! Sweet baby James was the first album I ever got and it is still one of my favorites. I have been to see him several times in concert and I am never dissapointed. My favorite christmas song is Andy Williams "It's the most wonderful time of the year". I've noticed that they are playing the crap out of it this year. It used to be kind of obscure but I have been listening to it for at least 40 years.
I have always loved The Christmas Song (Nat does it best). Last year I discovered Straight No Chaser and like their version of the 12 Days of Christmas. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Fe11OlMiz8 and The Christmas Can-Can http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7E-47VmFopE
James Taylor, and Bing makes the sentimental tears flow.
Some other non-traditional songs I like:
Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds: A Christmas Song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbdylEE-0e4
And I have to admit (blush)i really like George Michael Last Christmas I gave you my Heart... http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7736092084112844433#
I hate that song too, for the very same reason you do...I always have to change it. My dad has been gone for 4 years, so I really feel for you.....My favorite Christmas song is River....I think the original is by Joni Mitchell, but I love every version I have ever heard....
Bayou Jane, I'm so sorry for your loss! I love Christmas music, and when I was a little younger I started listening to it every August. I just couldn't wait any longer. I really do like almost everything, but when my kitties were still alive, I always picked Away in a Manger to sing to them on Christmas Eve, and still follow the tradition with my puppies. I love James Taylor, too. Sweet Baby James, Shower the People You Love With Love, etc.

The Christmas Song (only the Nat King Cole version)
O Holy Night (gives me chills...)
Away In A Manger (I sing it to my kids every year)
Not a Christmas song, but Johnny Cash's "Hurt" means a lot to me right now. I just kost my husband.
Bayou Jane, I'm so sorry for your loss!
