My Favorite Christmas Songs  

Here are two of my absolute favorites. Besides the entire Charlie Brown Christmas Album, these two stand out above all others.

Do They Know its Christmas by Band Aid. I am a child of the 80’s. Yes, skinny lether ties, and pastel Miami vice jackets. So every time I hear this song or see the video, I am taken back. But in addition, this song represents what I think is, or should be the spirit of Christmas. Reaching out to help others. This song started a movement, and I am sure saved thousands, if not millions of lives.


First Christmas, by Stan Rogers is off the live album Between the Breaks. Live versions of some of Stan’s best tunes is on this album. Mary Ellen Carter, Barretts Privateers, and First Christmas. If you have ever spent a Christmas away from home, this will bring a tear to your eye, if not make you outright bawl. There is no video for this one. Stan passed away long before videos were main stream. But give this a listen.

Merry Christmas.
