A Christmas Cornucopia by Annie Lennox?

December 1st meant it had to be listened to, DCs dancing round the room to it. And dare I admit to getting a bit emotional with it too.

What are your favorites?

What else might I enjoy? I like Libera and keep meaning to listen more to the Swingle Singers and Pentatonix (I adore the latter's version of Hallelujah).

We recently bought the christmasaurus book which comes with an album of songs to listen as we read and they are ridiculously catchy!

So that.

Another vote for Phil Spector Motown Christmas. I've been dancing to that one since I was about 6 years old. Love, love it!

Nat King Cole's Christmas album is and always will be the favourite here. It's a classic.

I always go back to our Country Christmas bargain bin compilation.

I'm listening to Tracey Thorn now and enjoying it - thanks HeyMicky :)

Tori Amos - Midwinter Graces
Hanson - Snowed In (it's a classic, don't judge me Grin)
The Little Women (1994) soundtrack is lovely and very festive

I love the Phil Spector one too but am not sure whether I should play it because he later murdered a woman. What is the protocol?

Also love the Ally McBeal Christmas album.

Phil Spector - A Christmas Gift to You and Bob Dylan for me too.

I’ve got Gwen Stefani’s new one this year though and love it! Old school vibe and sound

I hadn’t finished! She covers a few classics but has 6 originals that are all really good too.

Her cover of Last Christmas is great.

I hear what you’re saying re: Spector. But all those wonderful singers? He only produced it, I listen to them.

Oooh yes, Annie Lennox - amazing Christmas album!

Here we also have the Christmas albums by 'the spinners' (Mrs Hooligans Christmas cake played and sang along to at full volume), Cliff at Christmas (I know but....) and Now that's what I call Xmas
