Jill, the one that stands out the most on the Meme is the favorite song one. How two very different people from two different generations can come out with a great song.
My two top favorites are the one you posted by David Bowie and Bing Crosby and the other would probably be Blue Christmas by Elvis. Of course I like pretty much all of the Christmas songs, old and new.
You're right - there are a lot of really good Christmas songs out there Patrick, but the Little Drummer Boy with David and Bing brings me to tears every time :)
