That is also one of my favorites. Have you heard the Klezmatics doing Woody Guthrie's Chanukah songs?
Oh Toni, thanks for bringing that one up............he just takes my breath away!! I love Josh and how could I forget. I've sent emails that he should record a Christmas CD. I know it would become a classic for me!!! Did I say before that I love Josh. (I know, I know, if I loved him so much how could I forget his song.........it has to do with brain cells or lack of )and then O Holy Night Josh Groban rocks that one out!

Candles in the window
shadows painting the ceiling
gazing at the fire glow
feeling that gingerbread feeling
Precious moments
special people
happy faces
I can see
Somewhere in my mem-'ry
Christmas joys all around me
living in my mem-'ry
all of the music
all of the magic
all of the fam'ly
home here with me
Somewhere in my mem-'ry
Christmas joys all around me
living in my mem-'ry
all of the music
all of the magic
all of the fam'ly
home here with me
Star of Bethlehem shining bright
bathing the world in heav'nly light,
Let the glow of your distant glory
fill us with hope this Christmas night.
Star of innocence, star of goodness
gazing out since time began,
You who've lived through endless ages
view with love the age of man.
Star of beauty hear our plea,
whisper your wisdom tenderly.
Star of Bethlehem set us free
make us a world we long to see.
Star of Bethlehem, star up high,
miracle of the midnight sky,
Let your luminous life of heaven
better our hearts and make us fly.
Star of happiness, star of wonder
you see everything from afar,
Cast your eye upon the future
make us wiser than we are.
Star of gentleness, hear our plea,
whisper your wisdom tenderly.
Star of Bethlehem set us free
make us a world we long to see.
see now you all know why you keep me around!
Just wanted to add the WORST holiday song, Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer. I despise that song!!!!!
Put on your yarmulke
Here comes chanukah
So much funukah
To celebrate chanukah
Chanukah is the festival of lights
Instead of one day of presents, we have eight crazy nights
When you feel like the only kid in town without a christmas tree
Heres a list of people who are jewish just like you and me
David lee roth lights the menorah
So do james caan, kirk douglas, and the late dinah shore-ah
Guess who eats together at the carnegie deli
Bowser from sha na na and arthur fonzerelli
Paul newmans half jewish, goldie hawns half too
Put them together, what a fine lookin jew
You dont need deck the halls or jingle bell rock
cause you can spin a dreidel with captain kirk and mr. spock- both jewish
Put on your yarmulke
Its time for chanukah
The owner of the seattle supersonicahs
Celebrates chanukah
O.j. simpson, not a jew
But guess who is? hall of famer rod carew- he converted
We got ann landers and her sister dear abby
Harrison fords a quarter jewish- not too shabby
Some people think that ebenezer scrooge is
Well hes not, but guess who is
All three stooges
So many jews are in showbiz
Tom cruise isnt, but I heard his agent is
Tell your friend veronica
Its time to celebrate chanukah
I hope I get a harmonicah
Oh this lovely, lovely chanukah
So drink your gin and tonicah
And smoke your marijuanikah
If you really, really wannakah
Have a happy, happy, happy, happy chanukah
Happy chanukah"
Now Sean, would it be Christmas without hearing it just once???Just wanted to add the WORST holiday song, Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer. I despise that song!!!!!

Nan, I'll try to upload just for you this evening. Promise you won't have a heart problem but you can pant if you want.One of my favorites, too, but unlike Dee, I've never heard Groban sing it. Does anyone know if it is available anywhere on the internet?
