Do you have a favourite holiday song that is little-known or that you feel doesn't get enough airplay?

      Nope, but this is a really good question, though.

    I want to amend my answer!

    Two songs I remember from my youth: “It Came Upon A Midnight Clear” and “The Little Drummer Boy”.

    It’s the original 1987 version of It Must Have Been Love (Christmas for the Broken Hearted) by Roxette, which was written to be a Christmas song.  The original version gets no love at all from radio stations unlike the later 1990 version, It Must Have Been Love, which is associated with Pretty Woman.

    Thanks for the question. I post this once a year.

    Yes! I remember  seeing this from you before and
    I still like it! :)
    I like everyone in the parts that look like they're on a stage.

    I hope someone listens to this one if he or she doesn't know it.

    Until now, I only knew of the song when Peter, Paul and Mary did it.
    I like both versions.

    This was the only version I knew of until I did a search in response to this question.  There are also versions by Tom Paxton and John Denver.  This version, although, is still my favorite.

    Another one came to mind.

    A pure classic to me.
    THE saddest holiday song I've heard and beautiful and perfect. I love it.

    Dwight Yoakam's  "Come On Christmas"
