With the holidays in full swing, everyone needs a soundtrack. What are your all-time favorite Christmas songs?

Lenore Battle, Washington, D.C.
โ€œThe Christmas Songโ€ by Nat King Cole! Chestnuts roasting on an open fire โ€ฆ a true classic.

Zion Flippin, Washington, D.C.
Mariah Careyโ€™s โ€œJoy to the World (Live at The Cathedral of St. John The Divine)โ€ and โ€œO Holy Night.โ€ Home run โ€ฆ she knocked it out the park!

Roosevelt Robinson, Augusta, Ga.
I personally love the various artists that remade โ€œHallelujahโ€ with Quincy Jones! To me, itโ€™s not Christmas until you hear this song!

Dominique Cola, Washington, D.C.
โ€œSilent Nightโ€ by The Temptations is a good one every year.

Brenda Lowe, Kansas City, Mo.
Canโ€™t forget James Brown with โ€œSanta Go Straight to the Ghettoโ€ and Otis Redding with โ€œMerry Christmas Baby.โ€
