1 – 200 of 239 Newer› Newest»Can I be completely cheesy and say my favourite Christmas album is one recorded by my daughter's school about 7 years ago? Each class sang a carol, and the shaky, off-key voices are so lovely...an album I can sing along to!
I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas by Bing Crosby.
Love that pattern!
My favorite right now is Frosty the Snowman, sung by my 4 year old!!!
Oh gosh. Love that pattern. My favorite Christmas song is Angels We Have Heard on High. I really love the original French version sung by the St. Marteen in the Fields choir.
Easily my favorite is "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" by Brenda Lee. And that version is the only one that will do!!
I (ashamedly) like the Clay Aiken version of "Mary did you know?" Great giveaway!
Easily my favorite Christmas song is Mele Kalikimaka by Bing Crosby, I just LOVE it!!

I love the old Yule time carols homesung by family and friends the best. I'd see "here we come a-wassailing" is my all time favorite :)
I love Behold a Branch is Growing (also entitled Lo 'Ere a Rose is Blooming) - it has beautiful words and wonderful harmony - it's a German hymn from 1609.
So This Is Christmas...by John Lennon. Thanks for the chance to win.
My favorite song is All I want for Christmas by Mariah Carey, especially in the movie, Love Actually.
My favorite Christmas song is "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" as sung by the Barenaked Ladies.
Baby It's Cold Outside by James Taylor.
I've been wanting to try that pattern! My favorite Christmas song is Little Drummer Boy... all versions!

I love the song "Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas" by anyone who wants to sing it! It just makes me happy during the holidays!
jingle bells....sung by my kiddies!
Love that pattern! Thanks for the chance to win!
O Holy Night - my friend in high school sang it at an assembly and it was beautfiul! Thanks for doing a give away! :)
I love Harry Connick Jr.'s version of I'll be home for Christmas.
Last Christmas by George Michael. Please don't laugh at me :)
yay giveaways. My favorite is Santa Baby sung by Eartha Kitt. Then I feel guilty for loving it so much so my second favorite is when Nat King Cole sings O Holy Night.
Rocking around the Christmas Tree by Brenda Lee!
Ok, this will totally age me, but I have always loved Snoopy and the Red Baron by the Royal Guardsmen. I can't be the only one!
White Christmas by Bing Crosby is the one Christmas song that I have to hear every year. My favorite hands down!
White Christmas by Bing and All I want for Christmas is you- sung by the girl from Love Actually! I love chistmas music. I love O come, o come Emmanuel too.
You are teasing me with that pattern since I've been drooling over it recently.
I'm an Elvis fan when it comes to Christmas songs. I don't have to choose just one from him do I? That would be so unfair.
Frosty the Snowman, The Jackson Five!
Rock on!
I would love this pattern! Thanks for the chance to win!
My favorite song is Ella Fitzgerald's "What are you Doing New year's Eve?"

Merry Christmas!

I love Breath of Heaven. I think Amy Grant sings the version I like so much.
Ooh I want that pattern!
Thanks!
Frosty the Snowman, sung by my daughter.
Fwosty da Snowedman was a snowy snowy man...
Well, I was about to be embarrassed at saying my favorite Christmas song was by Clay Aiken, but since I'm not the first to name him here, I'll say it proudly: O Holy Night by Clay Aiken. :D Thanks for the giveaway!

my favorite song is "o holy night" and my husband sings it. He sounds amazing!
kamyrensmiles@hotmail.com
I have wanted this pattern for so long!!
My favorite song is O Tannenbaum!!
Alright, I'll admit it. I love George Michael's "Last Christmas". Always puts me in the holiday spirit! :)
"Go Tell It On The Mountain" by anyone who sings it - I like all the different versions I've ever heard.
O Holy Night by Bing--he is simply the best.
my favorite is "And the Bells Rang" by Bing Crosby! so swingy!
Mary Did You Know? by Mark Lowery
gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it!
RJBmom7@aol.com
Oh how I love that tunic, especially in green. My favorite Christmas song is "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" when my dad sings it. His cheer is contagious even if his Christmas singing will never hit the big time (or anything outside of our house!). It's so wonderful to be with them in the US this year (just moved to Germany recently, so don't disqualify me, please - I'm HERE!)
Thank you.
Katie
Silent Night at my momma's church, by everyone there.
The best christmas song is clearly 'darcy the dragon' sung by mr. Whitaker. so splendid
I have been eyeing that pattern for a while now...
The song would be The Twelve Days of Christmas by THE MUPPETS!!!
Love this! My favourite is Peace on Earth with Bing Crosby and David Bowie.
I looooove the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's rendition of Wexford Carol. Absolutely gorgeous!
anything Bing Crosby is wonderful and we cant forget about the chipmunks!!! Please count me on on the drawing! Thank you
Darn it, I'm not original at all. My favorite is White Christmas by Bing Crosby. I also love the instrumental "Carol of the Bells" and "Oh Holy Night" but not by any particular artist. leafygreenes@gmail.com
My favorite Christmas son is "The Little Drummer Boy" sung by any of my children's elementary school classes during a Christmas program. Now that they are all young adults, I don't hear that version too often.
My absolute favorite Christmas song to hear is:
A Journey to Bethelem (Christmas Medley) (LP Version)
Sung by Michael Crawford. His voice always makes me melt, and the medley is just... it's amazing, really.
UntraditionalFairyGodmother[at]gmail[dot]com
I'm really a fan of the older Christmas Carols. But as of late, I'm digging the Wexford Christmas Carol (YoYo Ma and Alison Krauss) as well as Surfjan's Christmas album.
Good luck to all.
There's 2- One song is my 4 yr old singing "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas", and the second is Silent Night, and it can be sung by anyone as long as they just sing the traditional one w/ no ad-libbing etc.
I'm loving Eden's Bridge Christmas album...all of it!
Right now I am loving all of Faith Hills new Christmas album. Such a cute pattern - and good idea to put it over a long sleeve shirt for winter!
Baby it's cold outside with zooey deschanel in it
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas by Judy Garland, sung in "Meet Me in St. Louis" movie
All time fav - Joy to the World - it embodies the season for me!
I would love to make this shirt :)
My favorite Christmas song...do I have to pick just one? Hark the Herald Angel Sing. I don't know who sings it -- I am sure it has been recorded but we sing it at church.
Easy -- White Christmas by Bing = } Thanks so much for this wonderful giveaway!!!
I love O Holy NIght by Josh Groban! Thanks for a great giveaway!
Does "Baby it's cold outside" count as a holiday song? It's a winter song at least, and it's always fun to sing. Lovely giveaway!
I love Mariah Carey's "All I want for Christmas"
Oh also Amy Grant "Breath of Heaven"
Great giveaway! My favorite song is Rudolph. Pretty much all singers do a version, but my favorite is by my 3yo son. LOL
Oh, I love this pattern! Pick me!
Please, enter me in your giveaway..
I love : I'll be home for Christmas, but don't know the name of who sings it.
My favourite Christmas song is The River as sung in the original version by Joni Mitchel, even thought it's not very Christmasy...
Thanks for the giveaway! :)
What a great give away. Thanks!
My favorite holiday song is Little St. Nick by The Beach Boys
I LOVE Silent NIght!!
River sung by Robert Downey Jr.
Light of the Stable by Emmy Lou Harris
I have been wanting to make this for ages! My favorite chritmas song is hands down, white christmas sung by bing crosby.
Mmmm...jingle bells sung by all the kids and their cousins Christmas eve every year. :)
my favorite christmas song is someday at christmas by stevie wonder. i would love to win the awesome pattern, thanks for hosting such a great giveaway!!!
I lvoe Amy Butler patterns and have been thinking about getting the tunic!
I love Mariah Careys version of Santa Claus Is Coming to Town
How I would love to try that pattern! My favorite Christmas song is "Let It Be Christmas" by Alan Jackson. (markusandemily@hotmail.com)
That's a hard choice. Your talking to someone who starts listening to Christmas music in July. I love Dean Martin's version of Baby It's Cold Outside, Frank Sinatra's version of The Christmas Waltz, Nat King Cole singing The Christmas Song, Bing Crosby singing White Christmas (one of the BEST movies ever!) and Harry Connick's version of What are You Doing New Year's Eve.
Love the pattern, thanks for your generosity!
"Merry Christmas Baby" by Mr. Elvis Presley
Singing?? It shouldn't necessarily be singing...so I would say instrumental "Fresh Aire Christmas" by Mannheim Steamroller. But if I have to pick singing, I would say "All I want for Christmas is You" but not by Mariah, rather the AMAZING little girl in Love Actually (she's really singing for the movie!!).
I'm a little embarrassed to admit this, but it's Greensleeves by...um...The Chipmunks.
I love all the music my church choir sings during th eholiday season.
~Shawna
Well I have two favorite holiday songs...."God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" by Bare Naked Ladies and Sarah MacLachlan and also the Snoopy Red Barron christmas song and I don't know who sings that one.
My favorite is "We three kings" and I guess I'm the one who sings it around my house!
I don't have one favourite christmas song but I listen only finnish songs. Greetings from Finland! :)
I've been coveting that pattern!
It's hard to pick just one, but I think my favorite Christmas song is "Baby, It's Cold Outside" (the Dean Martin version).
Happy Holidays!
I love Santa Baby by Madonna or anyone who sings it really!! ;)
Well what can I say... For me, there is no Christmas without "jingle bells" but I have no idea who sings it :( I must check that out...
Came to my blog and enter my giveaway. Hope you like it :)
I have so many Christmas favorites, but for now, I'll say "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," by Judy Garland.
I love the version of God rest ye marry gentlemen sung by the barenaked ladies.
I love Christmas so much and I don't have a favorite song. But I guess my favorite one right now is Carol of the bells (but I'm not sure who sings it)...I would LOVE to win this giveaway.
I hope you have a wonderful holiday

Go tell it on the Mountain!
Thanks!
Pick me, Monty!
I can't pick a favorite. It's really not fair to all the other great songs.
I love carol of the bells. Any arrangement is good but it is best with singer (not just instrumental)
I love anything on Alan Jackson's holiday CDs. I just love his voice.
Thanks so much for doing the giveaway. I would love to win! :)
I love Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing by Sufjan Stevens. It is so touching. I also love all the songs on the Mary's Lullaby disc. Great for babies.
I would love to win!
I appreciate your inclusive language by saying, "Christmas/Holiday" song!
I'm Jewish but my favorite holiday song is, "Oi to the World" sung by No Doubt. If they ever did a cover of the driedel song I'd be super pumped!
Cheers,
Tracey

Oh my goodness, I have been drooling over that pattern for ages now. Thanks for the chance to win! (Pick me! Pick me!)

Love it! My favorite song is Christmastime by the Smashing Pumpkins (untraditional, I know).
I love all Louis Armstrong Xmasy songs... Do I really have to choose one? Ok... I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, I guess... We don't get a lot of snow over here in Barcelona, Spain, so I always dream about white christmases!!

What a cute pattern! My favorite Christmas/Holiday song is Marshmallow World by Dean Martin. It is on an album my mother had when I was a child and it is really evocative of the holidays for me.
"Lo how a rose" as sung by the choir that I'm part of. Is that too cheeky??? I love to sing that song!

Thank you for this giveaway opportunity! I like "baby, it's old outside" from the elf movie.
My husband has 122 Christmas albums, yes that number is correct and it's hard to pick just one. I would say that Celine Dion's (I'm so embarrassed) O Holy Night is pretty tingly.
I have been seeing these tunics everywhere and would love to make one for myself! Thanks for your great give away.
Ooooh I love it! I've never made a shirt for myself.
So This Is Christmas by John Lennon. I love it. And I love your giveaway. Please count me in.
Happy Christmas (War is Over) by John Lennon and Yoko Ono, definitely.
Oh holy night is my favorite! Thank you so much for the chance! I love Amy Butler!
I think "So This Is Christmas" by John Lennon is one of my favourites.

"oklahoma christmas" by bruce robison and kelly willis. Funny holiday song from an Austin band!!
OH! I've been wanting that pattern for so long! My favorite Christmas song is "Christmas Time is Here" from The Charlie Brown Christmas special... I don't know who sings it, but I know the Vince Guardi (?) Trio wrote and played all the music...
This pattern is fabulous! My favorite Christmas song is Mary's Boy Child (a carribean kind of sound), but I don't know who sings it! I also love I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" by John Mellencamp. ALways makes me smile. :)
My favorite Christmas song is River by Joni Mitchell.
I like your blog!
Thanks for the contest.

Great giveaway, thanks!
My all time favorite Christmas song is I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas by Bing Crosby.
I've always wanted to try out that pattern. Favorite Chritmas song --- okay ... it is Aye Aye Aye by Ricky Martin. When my son was little, he loved it and now it is a family tradition to play it repeatedly or until my husband says "I can't handle it!!!".
