Christmas Music





It seems that holiday music is everywhere these days. You hear it on the radio, in the malls, on television and sometimes, even in my classroom! Some local radio stations are playing nothing but holiday music.

Maybe you have a favorite artist of group that makes holiday music. Some artists like Mannheim Steamroller and Trans-Siberian Orchestra produce mainly holiday music. Other artists (probably including your favorite) have done a holiday song or two. I have posted videos from three of my favorite songs.  Take a look. Did you enjoy them? What is your favorite holiday music? Do you think it is over done or not done enough.

Who or what is your favorite Christmas/holiday artist or group? Do you have a favorite song? Let us know what it is! My favorite group is Trans-Siberian Orchestra and my all-time favorite song is "Step Into Christmas" by Elton John, with Stevie Wonder's "Someday at Christmas" coming in a close second..

I enjoyed all three of these music videos. I would have to say my favorite holiday music is instrumental. I don’t really have a favorite artist or group. Anything instrumental is fine with me.

I personally enjoyed all three videos, seeing as though Christmas music is my favorite. I personally really enjoy Mannheim Steamroller and Trans-Siberian Orchestra, I love their music and it is just so happy unlike some Christmas music that is really slow and kind of depressing. My personal absolute favorite Christmas song by TSO is Appalachian Snowfall, or as I like to call it snowball. It brings back so many good Christmas memories.

In my opinion I like the videos but I didn’t really like the third one. My favorite video was the first video I did like that song and I liked the second one but the first was my favorite. I don’t really have a favorite Christmas artist cause I don’t know any I just know the music when it comes on the radio. But if I pick a favorite the song on the first video would be a favorite. Christmas time is about joy not war.

I actually don’t really like Christmas music unless it’s on this CD my mom has. It’s a really cool old CD with a group on it singing traditional songs. She also has a traditional African Christmas music CD.

I don’t have a favorite Christmas group, but I have a favorite Christmas song by Paul McCartney it’s called simply having a wonderful Christmas time. I really love that song, the first time i heard it I fell in love with it! He really did a good job on it. Pentatonix also did a wonderful job with the song silent night and mistletoe by Justin Bieber. It was really good, they are a very good musical group.

I enjoyed all of the videos; Stevie Wonder’s song was more peaceful and calming. I love Christmas music! I don’t have a favorite group, I like the Christmas music my mom has, don’t ask me who the singers are cause I don’t know! This year I am going to Liberty University to Winterfest and I know I will probably have a new favorite Christmas song! I like when my 4 year old cousin sings the “Mr. Grinch” because it is the cutest!
I loved this blog and I think it was just the right amount of Christmas spirit!

I enjoy this Christmas music its time to get in the spirit, Christmas is just five days away! I don’t really like a certain type of holiday music I like most holiday music. Sometimes I think radio stations overdue it a little with the non stop holiday music. My favorite holiday song has to be Santa in a 4-wheel drive by the Lacs. Merry Christmas!

I enjoyed all three of the videos because they put you in the holiday spirit and make you happy. I liked them all so I don't really have a favorite one. I love how they started playing Christmas music on the radio early. It gets you stoked about Christmas.

I like all these songs but I have to say by far my favorite was Stevie Wonder. His songs have always stood out. Pentatonix I think have just need to keep doing their thing and they will be amazing.

I enjoyed the three videos. I like Christmas music, but I don't really have a favorite song or artist. Any Christmas music is fine with me.

I don’t really listen to music that’s in the Christmas spirit. But I will say what my favorite band is. I like Tool, Avenged Sevenfold, Elena Seigman. A lot of the stuff I listen to isn’t that happy or jolly, but I’m not that happy or jolly either. I’ll just say I have my reasons for being myself.

These videos were very joyful. I like the Pentatonix group because they use their bodies as instruments. All the Christmas songs were good, because all of them make you feel happy and excited about Christmas.

I liked all of these songs. These songs sound really good. I really don’t have a Christmas song I just listen to a whole bunch of them.

All three of the videos were good and enjoyable. My favorite was the one Pentatonix did. Christmas wouldn't be the same without the music to set the cheerful mood.

I enjoyed all three of these music videos. I would have to say my favorite holiday music is Rodolfo. I love Christmas time. Christmas time is the time of giving.

These songs give me joy and should give everyone peace. The first song really means a lot because that's what I want also. Everyone should have peace at Christmas time. All of the songs were great and it really brightens up my heart to see people making Christmas joyful and fun but yet peaceful at the same time.

I loved all three songs from the singers. My favorite Christmas song is Mistletoe by Justin Beiber only because it has that hype Christmas spirit vibe to it. My favorite video was the first one because to some people all they want for Christmas is for their family to be happy.

I've never really cared for Christmas music. For me its always been a time that represents false hope. I don't really have a favorite artist, I listen to random stuff.

Im not a big Chritmas music fan. I do like the way Pentatonix changed up Mistletoe by Justin Bieber in my opinion they sang it way better. I guess Im not a big fan of Christmas music because I have heard the same songs over and over all my life.

Christmas is my favorite time of the year. I don’t really have a favorite artist or group, but I only have three favorite songs by three different artists. Which are: Leona Lewis, Miranda Corssgrove, and Justin Bieber.

Demarcus Porter said...

I think all three song are different in it own way. Stevie Wonder song is about peace, and love of Christmas. Elton John was a more rock'roll Christmas song. Pentatonix is awesome, the way they did silent night, and Mistletoe was awesome.

I don't have a favorite holiday music band. Although, I think Hetfield singing a Christmas song would be pretty funny. Metallica is the band I listen to and they are thrash metal so no Christmas music here!

I absolutely loved Pentatonix's rendition of Silent Night and of Mistletoe. Mistletoe is one of my favorite Christmas songs. I also loved it when it was sang by Justin Bieber.

I enjoyed all the songs. I like Mary J's version of "This Christmas". I also love the classic "Silent Night".

I like the song Silent Light. Mistletoe is a good song. I just never heard it by them only Justin Bieber. So that was a difference. Other than that it was neat.

The videos was awesome to much. I really don't have no favorite group or artist. I don't really have no favorite song either.

I only know one of these songs, silent night. My favorite Christmas song is Rocken’ Under the Christmas tree by some person I don’t know. But I don’t like the song about little kid whose mom is about to die and she really wants a pair of shoes and the boy does not have enough money for it, but the manager give it to he and the boy puts it on his mom just before she goes, this song makes me feel that i life is a good life.

I liked all three videos. But i think the best one was Phoenix singing "Silent Night". The second one was really good to.

I love Elvis Presley! My favorite Christmas song from Elvis is “I’ll be home for Christmas”. When people ask me what my favorite Christmas song is they are shocked when I say Elvis!

I like these Christmas songs because my mom has these CD's and played them when I was a kid. I don't really have a favorite Christmas song though. Christmas time is the happiest time of the year.

I thought all three songs were funny and that the third song didnt sound like the real song. I think that we sould do more blogs like this. This blog was one of the wierdest blogs ever.
