align="left" height="288" width="381">We love Bing Crosby, Nat
King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Burl Ives and Tony Bennett, but
it's important to mix up the standards with some pop,
hip-hop and rock 'n' roll. These are our
favorites:<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Mariah

Report AbuseIf I hear Mariah Carey one more time I will scream!!! My favorite is Cheech and Chong's Santa and his Old Lady. It is hilarious!

Report AbuseI'm glad you mentioned these songs-WOW! It wouldn't be the Holidays without, a little, Soul, Funk, or Hip-Hop! I loved RUN DMCs', Christmas songs, but don't forget Kurtis Blow--And to ALL, a good ni-i-ght!!

Report AbuseI love The Drifters (white Christmas)! The BEST version EVER. Yet I wait and wait to hear it on the radio. They always play the slow boring version instead.
