Vote for your favorite Christmas songs

It’s time to cast your vote in our poll of favorite Christmas songs.
So that we didn’t have some sort of odd competition between Rocking Around the Christmas Tree and Silent Night, we split the voting into sacred Christmas songs and secular holiday tunes. We put together a big list from suggestions Copious Notes readers sent in, then we had a little in-house vote at LexGo Central to determine lists of the final 10. There were surprises in that voting, so it will be interesting to see what you guys come up with.
We’ll wrap the voting up Dec. 16 and share the results plus lots of thoughts about what tunes make the holidays special in a package for the Dec. 21 Herald-Leader and at LexGo.com.
So don’t just vote. Comment below about what music makes the season bright for you, even write in some favorites not on our lists of the final 10, or mention a favorite version of a favorite song — we know how you feel about the Springsteen Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Sheila.

“Christianity Is Stupid”, negativland. Best Christmas song ever, hands down.

On the sacred side, nothing beats “O Holy Night,” truly one of the best songs ever written, perod.
For secular songs, Springsteen’s rendition of “Merry Christmas Baby” and Elvis’ “Santa Claus is Back in Town” are favorites (except when I sing along with them, which makes everyone around me wince and/or throw things, including fits and tantrums).

In the Bleak Midwinter - Bert Jansch

I have to agree with Kevin - O Holy Night is my favorite religious carol. Branching out to non-religious fare, I have to cite All I Want for Christmas is You. That one never fails to make me love everyone around me.
