Fave Christmas music

I love the song from Home Alone by John Williams titled 
Somewhere In My Memory.  That's probably my favorite 
Christmas song.

Then there's O Holy Night and Silent Night.  When I was 
still in school I was in the Honors Choir.  We would have 
our Christmas program and they'd turn out all the lights in 
the auditorium, we would then light candles and while the 
tenors and sopranos sang Silent Night, the rest of us would 
sing a song called Peace On Earth.  They mixed together so 
beautifully.  And I love to recall seeing my schoolmates' 
and friends' beautiful faces lighted up by candlelight, 
singing those two songs.

I'm also very fond of I Want A Hippopotamus for Christmas 
and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.

Then there's the parody Christmas song called The Restroom 
Sign Said Gentleman that's sung to the tune of God Rest Ye 
Merry Gentlemen.  It's hilarious.  It's about a poor 
unfortunate soul who walks into the ladies restroom and 
then is severely beaten by the women thinking he's being a 
pervert.  Not very Christmas-y but hilarious just the same.

And I love Away In The Manger but it's not the traditional 
music.  It's another version (which I think someone has 
already mentioned).

And TranSiberian Orchestra's Sarajevo Christmas Eve (or is 
it Christmas Eve in Sarajevo?).
