Audio: What's your favorite carol or holiday song?

Ahem, we'll being that I am the worlds most miserable human and can find the melancholy in damn near everything, then my favorite Christmas Song would have to be the most heartrending one there is, "Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas".  And yes it HAS to be sung by Judy Garland.  I'm sorry but any song that says, "someday soon we all will be together...if the fates allow" is SO my favorite song.

However, for a more recent, and by recent I mean the mid 80's, I have to say that my guilty pleasure would be Dan Fogelbergs, "Same Auld Lang Syne".  It's not my fault!  My mother loved the damn song and drilled it into my head, which I in turn did to my best friend Nick who is now also tormented by it hee hee. 

I will always remember driving along in my parents horrible brown K car, in the dirty depressing slush, with my mother not so quietly sobbing to this song.  After the very last verse, "and as I turned to make my way back home...the snow, turned into rain" she croaked out, "It ALWAYS does doesn't it!!"  I chuckled at her because I was a horrible, evil teenager, but now that I'm older, and wiser and being tormented by my own spawn and blah blah blah, I understand her a bit more.  It's still painfully cheesy, but in a good, depressing, Christmas way.
