Best Christmas music?

[ItIsntJustAPhase]

I love a lot of the stuff that gets radio time and makes the best of albums, but how about the more unusual songs?

I'll start with Nana Mouskouri's 'Old Toy Trains' and Low's 'It was just like Christmas'.

I just love Micheal Buble Christmas album

I bought the Ceelo Green Christmas Album last year and I loved it! So did DS.

XFM did a Christmas album a few years ago with lots of indie bands doing christmas music. It features a surprisingly upbeat Eels song called "everyone's going to feel good this christmas".

Ooh that Ceelo Green album looks fab! Is that Joni Mitchell's River? I love that song. That and the muppets? That's me sold.

Sufjan Stevens Songs For Christmas
Laura Marling Goodbye England (Covered in Snow)
Fleet Foxes White Winter Hymnal

For Folks' Sake Christmas CDs are great

No to Ce lo Green. Really, don't give that dreadful man any more money.

I love Calypso Christmas. Just perfect.

Feliz Navidad from
Michael Bubles album is one of my favourites.

Oh don't I'm so excited already . I love the one that starts " it's christmaaaaaas" . Sorry I know it's cheesy and old fashioned but just love it when I'm out Christmas shopping.

My baby's first Christmas so double excited and already been singing Christmas carols to him when we are out with the pram. Had some funny looks ha ha

I adore Mariah Carey. I start listening to it on Dec 1st.

Oh my goodness, this is great! Thank you!

The whole Low Christmas album is great. And of course I love the Boney M Christmas music.

Funny Looking Angels by Smith and Burrows. They are the singer from Editors and the drummer from Razorlight and it's a beautiful album.

YY to Smith and Burrows, especially When The Thames Froze

I love 'Under the Tree' by the Water Babies, I rarely hear this played but it's such a lovely song.

Aimee Mann, one last drifter in the snow.
Christmas cocktails too.

Fave in this house is "Zat you, Santa Claus?" by Louis Armstrong

Josh Groban's Christmas album is beautiful (and slightly schmaltzy, as is should be) and I always love Bing Crosby Christmas music.

Nothing off piste from me; I'm a traditionalist.

I love the Annie Lennox Christmas album

Albums;
The Phil Spector Christmas Gift...
Aimed Mann
Hanson. Really. I love it.

Cerys Matthews has a great Christmas album - can't remember the name of it right now though.

A bit of a specialist one but if you are Irish, the horslips have a Christmas album which is fabulously folky. I adore it and can't wait for December so I can start to listen to it again.

love all christmas music really, favourite albums are mariah's and michael buble's, but of course i know they are very main stream.

love andy burrow's songs from the snowman and the snowdog. not traditionally festive but they really get me in the christmas mood. "hometown" makes me cry

love White Winter Hymnal

Also Donna and Blitzen by Badly Drawn boy

Say what you like about Mariah Carey but All I Want for Christmas is a fantastic song! A true classic.

I like all the usual pop numbers: Slade, Shakin' Stevens, Kim Wilde, the Pogues, Wizzard, Boney M etc etc.

But there is something very special about the oldies, Sinatra, Judy Garland, Andy Williams, Dean Martin, Rosemary Clooney and so on.

Also love love love Carols from King's and listen to their various albums many many times over the holidays.

Ahhhh just love Christmas.
