Dean Martin had a hit with Let it Snow. And more recently, Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas is You seems like it's everywhere.  We've put together a list of our Top 10 favorites this holiday season, but what we really want to know is what's yours.

That's a tough one. Handel's Messiah gets me every time, but Little Drummer Boy and Bing Crosby's White Christmas are right up there, too. For my husband, Carol of the Bells is his ultimate favorite, and The Nutcracker Suite bring fond memories for both of us.   more ›

Poll: What's Your Favorite Holiday Song?

Certain December music makes us pause, sing along and feel nostalgic.

Holiday voices sing, are you listening? Songs of the season are inescapable this week – whether they bring comfort and joy or lyrics and beats that annoy. Amid the jingling and roasting, most people cherish at least a few Christmas songs – perhaps because they've been sung many times, many ways since we were young. Though it may be tough to single out a favorite, here's a chance to click on one that invariably makes you pause, turn up the volume and feel nostalgic. So come and vote, faithful celebrants, and let's see which is triumphant. Write-in votes for unlisted tunes can go in the comments.
