This version of Blue Christmas never fails to bring tears to my eyes. Our family brings it out every year with the same reverence we hold for The Night Before Christmas.
Okay, nobody gets to laugh at me, it’s a family tradition. Elvis’s “Blue Christmas”. 
Handel’s Messiah, almost in its entirety.
More recently, “All I Want for Christmas Is You” by Mariah Carey: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXQViqx6GMY&feature=relmfu
Me, too! I still have the strongest memory of when I heard it for the first time, sung by my high school glee club. It’s an old Ukrainian tune, sez Wiki: Carol of the Bells - Wikipedia. It does have an urgent rhythm and a vaguely sinister sound that hits my musical sweet spot for some reason I can’t explain.

Winter Wonderland is my favorite Christmas song, but it’s only one of many that I love.
I just spent the last 90 minutes listening to dozens of versions of “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” on youtube. I didn’t realize that it won an Oscar for Best Song. Or that the girl who sings it in Elf is Zooey Deschanel.
Frank Sinatra - The Christmas Waltz along with instrumental versions like oscar peterson - christmas waltz
Vince Guaraldi Trio - “Christmastime Is Here (Instrumental) (“A Charlie Brown Christmas”)”
