What’s your favourite Christmas song?

[Whenismumhome]

I was going to hold off posting this until at least the 1st of next month, but I don’t care, I’m posting now

Anyway, what are your favourite songs? Mine are:

Fairytale of New York - The Pogues/Kirsty MacColl

Merry Christmas everybody - Slade

I wish it could be Christmas everyday - Wizzard

Last Christmas - Wham

I have loads more but I’ll be here all day listing them

All of them! I can’t wait for them to be on at work

@TheSilentStars Absolutely. It seems to have had a lot of criticism recently because of its lyrics which is a shame - I think it's so well written.

The dream will never be o-o-over
Because we're keeping the dream alive

Masterpiece!

The Christmas Song - The incomparable Nat King Cole
White Christmas - Bing Crosby
Last Christmas - Wham
A Spaceman came Travelling - Chris de Burgh

Oooh so many! I love them all, all the classics along with these masterpieces in particular:

Christmas in Hollis by Run DMC

Christmas Time by Bryan Adams

Merry Merry Christmas by NKOTB

2000 miles by The Pretenders

Oh Holy Night by Il Divo

If you haven't heard some of these, I highly recommend them as they just make you feel so Christmassy!

The Ronettes sleigh ride
Queen Thank god it's Christmas

DH has just reminded me about Merry Christmas You Suckers by Paddy Roberts. Written in 1962 it's totally off the wall but never fails to make us grin

Stop the Cavalry - Jona Lewie
Anything on Annie Lennox's Christmas Cornucopia album.

Tim Minchin, White wine in the sun. Gets me every time

All of them! Last year the girls and I made an best Christmas playlist on our Amazon music app and there’s about 40 songs on it.

So we don’t get sick of it too early we have a ban on Christmassy stuff until the first of December. As soon as we crack open the advent calendars though it’s the whole works, decorations up Christmas films and alllll the songs!

@dudsville - the Carol you quoted is called The Carol of the Bells - the chamber choir I used to be in sang it one Christmas.

I’m joining the Fairytale of New York fans, for pop music.

My favourite classical Carol is probably In Dulci Jubilo - the eight-part version.

- for @dudsville.

This year, thanks to the Asda advert, it is What Christmas means to me by Stevie Wonder. Phenomenal bassline

Fairytale of New York🎄

Darlene Love - All alone on Christmas.

I'm ashamed to say it's Mariah Carey

I also love Sweet Bells by Kate Rusby so hopefully I've redeemed myself.

But carol of the bells is my Christmas ringtone

Driving home for Christmas
Holly and the ivy
Good king Wenceslaus

And my favourite, my favourite Christmas song and indeed my favourite actual song , which will be my funeral song, silent night, almost any kings college version

Donny Hathaway - This Christmas
The Beach Boys - Little Saint Nick
Otis Reading - Merry Christmas Baby
Low - Just like Christmas
Johnny Mathis - When a child is born

Oh, forgot these:

Saint Etienne - I was born on Christmas Day
Jon & Vangelis - I’ll find my way home

Love a Christmas song, me

One that never gets mentioned, The Best Gift by Barbra Streisand.
Such a wonderful song about a baby being born at Christmas. Means a lot to my family as my Grandpa used to sing it to my mum who was born on Christmas Eve, and then was shared with my sister who was born just after Christmas.

Also, Santa Claus is Coming to Town by Frank Sinatra - loved dancing to that when I was younger.

And another Barbra Streisand song - Jingle Bells. It's sooooooo fast and hard to keep up with when you sing along, but my family always try and attempt it.

Dulci Jubilo by Mike Oldfield is the best xmas song ever.

Fairytale of New York
I believe In Father Christmas - Emerson, Lake and Palmer
Stop the Cavalry - Jonah Lewy
Run With The Fox (I think it was Yes)
In Dulci Jubilo - Mike Oldfield
Gaudete - Steeleye Span, the Medieval babes (not convinced about the Erasure version)
A Spaceman Came Travelling - Chris de Burgh

Oh, and the Annie Lennox Christmas Conucopia, anything off there, except Silent Night, which sets my teeth on edge, whoever sings it.
