I didn't see "What Child Is This?" or "O Come O Come Emmanuel" on the list... two of my favorites.

And where is "O Holy Night"? There simply IS no more beautiful piece of Christmas music than that.I remember watching Aretha Franklin sing that one on the Johnny Carson Show --a capella-- and weeping like a baby. I'll never forget it as long as I live.

Seriously, know one else likes this song? Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) U2 and Bon Jovi have both covered it.after some wikipedia:-Written by Phil Spector, with Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich originally released in 1963 by Darlene Love. -Darlene Love has performed the song on the final new episode of the Late Show with David Letterman before Christmas every year, since 1986
