I'm a seasonal sentimentalist at heart and Christmas is a particularly special period. At this time of year, I like to listen to seasonal tunes. There are some songs (secular and ecclesiastical) that I especially love because they continue to move me and remind me of heighten moments in my memory that I wish to preserve. After my usual non-scientific methodology and conclusions, I've deduced that these few elite selections fall into my all time top ten list of songs:
1. I'll Be Home For Christmas
2. Angels We Have Heard on High
3. Christmas Song (Mel Torme's version only)
4. It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
5. Let it Snow
6. Sleigh Ride
7. Winter Wonderland
8. We Three Kings of Orient Are
9. O Come All Ye Faithful
10. White Christmas
And let me add that if I never hear "Jingle Bells" again, I will die a happy woman.
What's on your list?

"Mele Kalikimaka" by Perry Como.
My Dad always played a Perry Como album during the holidays which featured this song. So now that he's gone, I play it and remember singing along with my sisters as we decorated the tree. This song stands out because it's silly and fun to say.
Baby, It's Cold Outside
Please no more Josh Grobin!
Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas - new classic
Anything by Manheim Steamroller, especially the ones that sound all medieval.
John Denver & The Muppets - A Christmas Together
Johnny Mathis
The Christy Minstrel Singers
My favorite Christmas song is "Mary Did You Know"
