My favorite is "Buon Natale" by Nat King Cole, because my name is Natale and I was born on Christmas.  When my dad got married he promised my grandfather Natale that he would name his first-born son after him. I was born 8 years later, on Christmas.

 

I also had an uncle Natale and a cousin Natale.  All four Natales were often in the same room together at family get-togethers.  To avoid confusion my Uncle Natale was referred to as "Big Nat" my cousin Natale was called "little Nat", my grandfather was "Big Natale" and I was called "little Natale."

Bing Crosby "White Christmas."   I love both the song and the movie, even if they are riding the Santa Fe to Vermont!

 

However, it just doesn't feel like Christmas until I hear the Vince Guaraldi Trio's soundtrack to "A Charlie Brown Christmas."  Nothing like Linus reciting Luke's Gospel to get you in the Christmas spirit!
