My Favorite Christmas Songs

Now that Thanksgiving is over, many people (including my wife) new permit Christmas music to be played. For the last two Christmases, I have saved my favorite Christmas songs and favorite version. Here is my current list:

1. Angels We Have Heard On High - Chris Tomlin - WOW Christmas: Green
2. Away in a Manger - Casting Crowns - WOW Christmas: Green
3. Breath of Heaven (Mary's Song) - Amy Grant - Home For Christmas
4. Do You Hear What I Hear? - FFH - WOW Christmas: Green
5. It Came Upon a Midnight Clear - Kutlass - WOW Christmas: Green
6. Light of the Stable - Selah - Rose of Bethlehem
7. Little Town - Amy Grant - A Christmas Album
8. Mary Did You Know? - Clay Aiken - WOW Christmas: Green
9. O Come All Ye Faithful
10. O Come, O Come, Emmanuel - Rebecca St. James - Christmas
11. O Holy Night - Josh Groban - Josh Groban In Concert
12. O Little Town of Bethlehem
13. Silent Night
14. The First Noel - Mark Schultz - WOW Christmas: Green
15. We Three Kings - DC Talk - Joyful Christmas
16. Welcome To Our World - Michael W. Smith - WOW Christmas: Green
17. What Child is This? - Rebecca St. James - Christmas

Of these, my favorite is We Three Kings by DC Talk because it is the most unique of all these songs.

You should notice that I have three songs listed without a version. This is because I don't know what my favorite version of these songs is. Do you have a favorite version of one of these songs? If so, please share it with me. Maybe it will become my favorite as well.

Do you have a favorite Christmas song that I don't have listed? Please share it with me. Maybe I will it will become my favorite as well.

UPDATE:

Here are some new additions.

1. 2000 Decembers Ago - Joy Williams - A Christmas Reunion
2. Christmas This Year - tobyMac - (No album)
3. Emmanuel - Michael W Smith - WOW Christmas (Red)
4. The Night Before Christmas - Brandon Heath - WOW Christmas 2011
5. When Love was Born - Mark Schultz - WOW Christmas 2011

Now, I really prefer to have one favorite version of each song, but Wee Three Kings by Go Fish from Christmas With A Capital 'C': Snow Deluxe Edition is too good to pass by.

More Internet Remix Culture

I previously spoke about the Internet remix culture twice (here and here). Now I remembered something that a friend of mine created.

YTMND - Davy Jones wants the coin

My favorite part is the music...I loved playing games in the Donkey Kong series.

Slap Chop Remix

Usually I refrain from blogging about Internet videos (basically because I could probably find a new recommendable video for every day). However, I want to lift up this particular video for several reasons, including:

1. it is enjoyable to watch,
2. it is enjoyable to listen to,
3. it has a high replay value,
4. the talent of its creator is phenomenal, and
5. (most importantly) it is a great example of the remix culture that exists on the Internet.

You may have seen the infomercial for the Slap Chop. Well, embeded below is an amazing remixed version:

P.S.
My previous post is also an example of the Internet remix culture.

Revelation Song

Yesterday in church, the featured song was Revelation Song, which I have heard before and really like. I just went to my last.fm account to add this song to my library. While there, I decided to watch someone's YouTube video (embedded below) that they made based on this song.

The combination of this song and this video brought me to tears. Praise be to God!
