Favorite Christmas Song/Artist

If you could only hear one Christmas song this year, what would it and who would be the artist? I might have a different answer next year or maybe even next week, but I would go with Little Drummer Boy by Bing Crosby and David Bowie. I’ve always loved the version this seemingly odd pairing performed.

I love all of the classics, but this one which was not meant to be Christmas song has always brought peace to me.

I saw a Celtic Woman Christmas concert on PBS years ago. So, that.
I didn't even like stuff like that back then, but I think I just got caught up in the spirit of things and watched the whole thing.I disabled signatures. -

The Original Drummer Boy. It's been my favorite Christmas song since child hood. There was always something about that song , the Christmas shows about him and the spirit of the Drummer boy that always hit home.
I like all Christmas songs from the past and some of the newer one.Dan
My personal quest is to save to world of bad audio, one thread at a time. -

Favorite song: O' Tannenbaum.
It's just very calming and relaxing.
No particular favorite artist.
I also enjoy blues and jazzy Christmas music.

Ha! My efforts weren't wasted!

Christopher Lee, the actor that played Dracula and also was in Lord of the Rings made a metal Christmas album in his 90s. He played guitar and sang. It's interesting at least even if you don't care about metal. Closing in on 100 years old and he was shredding on electric guitar.

My wife has a Kenny Chesney, not sure if the album name, that I have started to appreciate. It has appearances from Alabama, Willie and a few others.2 Channel Rosso Fiorentino Volterra II, 2 REL Carbon Limited, Norma Revo IPA-140B, Lumin U2 Mini, VPI Prime w/SoundSmith Zephyr MIMC, Modwright PH 150, Denon DP-59l w/Denon DL-301MKII, WAY Silver 3 Ana+ Speaker Cables, WAY Silver 4+ Interconnect Cables, AudioQuest Niagara 7000 w/Dragon and Hurricane Power Cables

I just remembered Celine Dion's Oh Holy Night song. On a worthy system, it doesn't get much better for me.
When the orchestra comes in at 3:09 on..., the LOW bass is incredible...Goose bumps for sure.
Well, I just got goose bumps well before the 3:09 mark...and this was on my PC system with limited bass compared to my bigger systems.

Note: This is a different "ask" than the thread title ("Favorite Christmas Song/Artist")If you could only hear one Christmas song this year, what would it and who would be the artist? ...
Only one?
A really, really hard choice -- but, if really only one.
