Karen Carpenter's Merry Christmas Darling...although tinged with sadness, it is a beautiful song sung as only she can...

@DSD2   I second that, I love that song and the Carpenters!

Mariah Carey does a beautiful rendition of my favorite: "Oh, Holy Night"

Oh, and let's not forget "This Christmas" by Donnie Hathaway and "Silent Night" by the Temptations. 

(It's not Christmas, until I hear those songs on the radio.)

Chuck Berry;s "Run Run Rudolph" from1958 is a fave of mine.  Loved the idea of Santa on the freeway.

Run, run Rudolph, Santa's gotta make it to town
Santa, make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
Run, run Rudolph 'cause I'm reelin' like a merry-go-round

Said Santa to a boy child, "What have you been longin' for?"
"All I want for Christmas is a rock 'n' roll 'lectric guitar"
And then away went Rudolph whizzin' like a shootin' star

Run, run Rudolph, Santa's has to make it in town

Santa, make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
Run, run Rudolph, reelin' like a merry-go-round

Said Santa to a girl child, "What would please you most to get?"
"A little baby doll that can cry, sleep, drink and wet"
And then away went Rudolph, whizzin' like a Saber jet

Run, run Rudolph, Santa's gotta make it to town
Santa, make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
Run, run Rudolph I'm reelin' like a merry-go-round

It's not Christmas to me until I hear Jose Felicano sing "I Want to Wish You a Merry Christmas".  I just heard it.  He was my classical guitar hero since I was teenager.  My signature guitar piece was his Malaguena (on a 12 string no less) I wish my hands could do that again.

If you want to hear him play it, here is the YT link.  I named one of my horses Malaguena.  I had a cow I name "Freddy" lol

Jose Feliciano - Malagueña

What song gets you in the Christmas mode?

@monicakm  Nice to read you could manage a 12 string guitar. My DH also played one. As you know it requires quite a bit of strength and dexterity so I understand, as DH only manages his 6 string now when he has good days.

Jose Feliciano preformed at my undergrad college decades ago. I was honored to meet him since I was involved with concert bookings.  Such talent and a very gracious person.

Feliz Navidad is such a happy and uplifting song. One of my favorites, too.

Be well.
