Working retail, I am not a huge fan of Christmas music. After listening to it for over a month straight, well let's just say, I do get over it really quickly. I do have some songs that I do find myself humming along to which causes my staff to always exclaim, "We hear you!" And then I quickly shut it down, lol. Here is my list of songs that I tolerate:
Santa Baby
All I want for Christmas is you
The Hawaiian Christmas song
Last Christmas
Winter wonderland
Sleigh ride
The Hallelujah Chorus (because I was in chorus and had to sing it every year. They don't really play this one at work though.)
So what's in your Christmas play list?
 
I never tire of the Christmas Hymns, Go tell it on the Mountain, Silent Night, Away in a Manager, ect...
I like the other Christmas music too, but there's just something special about the "old" hymns that means more to me :)
 
I love xmas music, but ONLY from after Thanksgiving to Christmas Day. If I worked in retail, I would probably hate them too!!

I have a lot of faves, but I am also kind of particular about the version of a lot of songs that I listen to. (I mean if anyone except Elvis sings "Blue Christmas" it doesn't sound right.... although, that said, there is a version by Jewel that I can actually stand!) I have a huge playlist that ranges from Bing Crosby to the Sex Pistols and I love them all.

Faves? Hmmm...
O Holy Night (especially sung by Josh Groban, seriously beautiful)
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen (love the BNL version)
Little Drummer Boy (Bing... or Bing and David Bowie)
Ave Maria (weird, but I have to listen to the U2 version... it is always the last song we play when decorating the tree)
All I Want For Christmas Is You (Mariah Carey.... I mentioned previously that Love Actually is my fave xmas movie)

I also love funny xmas music - Elf's Lament, all versions of the Hanukkah song, some inappropriate songs from South Park that I have to skip now that I have kids listening, Straight No Chaser's version of The 12 Days of Christmas, etc. And I love the "fun, traditional" music like Jingle Bell Rock, Roudolph, The Grinch, etc.

So, for about a month, I love them all (almost... I could live without Dominic the Donkey and a couple more). But only after Thanksgiving!
 
I love O Holy Night and Diane is right, the version by Josh Groban is so beautiful.

I love most songs at Christmas but I like the oldies. No Beiber ick..lol..(I heard a biebs Christmas song today and it was awful!)

Some of my faves are:

Last Christmas
O Come all ye Faithful
The First Noel
It's Christmas (From the Muppet Christmas)
Greatest Love of All (Kenny and Dolly)
Do you hear what I hear?
Silver Bells
and
The Christmas Song (chestnuts roasting on an open fire.....) because it was my Dad's favourite and every time I hear it, I see him sitting by the tree singing it. I miss him.
 
I love all Christmas music! I've had Pandora on for days and it's a never ending holiday fest! LOL! The channel I have playing is "Christmas Traditional" so I haven't heard any Biebs (thankfully!). It has a lot of crooners - Bing, Buble, Harry Connick Jr, and a lot of instrumental and choral.
