My personal favourite is "White Christams"

White Christmas

By PERRY COMO

Album: THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS - Record 5

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry
And bright
And may all your Christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear (to hear the sleigh bells in the snow)

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright (be merry)
And may all your Christmases be white

I'm dreaming
Dreaming (fade)

Followed by one which was my Mom's favorite:

Once In Royal David's City

By THE YORK MINISTER CHOIR

Album: The Magic Of Christmas - Record 2

Once in royal Da-avi-id's city, Stood a lowly ca-attle-le shed
Where a mother lai-aid her-er Baby, In a manger for-or Hi-is bed
Mary was that mother mild
Jesus Christ her li-ittle-le Child

He came down to ear-earth fro-om heaven, Who is God and Lor-ord o-of all
And His shelter wa-as a-a stable, And His cradle wa-as a-a stall
With the poor, and mean, and lowly
Lived on earth our Sa-avior-ior holy

And through all His wo-ondrou-ous childhood, He would honor a-and o-obey
Love and watch the lo-owly-y maiden, In whose gentle ar-arms He-ee lay
Christian children all must be
Mild, obedient, goo-ood a-as He

For He is our childhood's pa-attern, Day by day, like u-us He-ee grew
He was little, wea-eak a-and helpless, Tears and smiles like u-us He-ee knew
And He feeleth for our sadness
And He shareth i-in ou-our gladness

And our eyes at la-ast sha-all see Him, Through His own redee-eemi-ing love
For that Child so dear-ear a-and gentle, Is our Lord in hea-eaven above
And He leads His children o-on
To the place where He-ee i-is gone

Not in that poor low-owly-y stable, With the oxen sta-andi-ing by
We shall see Him bu-ut i-in heaven, Set at God's right ha-and o-on high
Where like stars His children crowned
All in white shall wa-ait a-around

This is another which I hold dear because of all the times my sisters sat with our Mom and sang together. She died when I was twenty.


While Shepherds Watched 'World's First I

By THE YORK MINISTER CHOIR

Album: THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS - Record 2

While Shepherds watch their flocks by night
All seated on the ground
The angel of the Lord came down
And glory shone around
Fear not, said he for mighty dread
had seized their troubled mind
Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind

To you in David's town this day
Is born of David's line
The Savior who is Christ the Lord
And this shall be the sign
The heavenly babe you there shall find
To human view displayed
All neatly wrapped in swathing bands
And in a manger laid

Thus speak the seraph and forth-with
Appeared a shiny throng
Of angels praising God who thus
Addressed their joyful song
All glory be to God on high
And on the earth be peace
Goodwill hence-forth from heaven to men
Begin and never cease
