We have a few Christmas CDs which we play while decorating the tree/opening presents/ eating on Christmas Eve/Christmas Day.
As I've more time this year am thinking of creating a playlist, so we can cut out the 'tunes' we don't like. Usually a mix Of songs and carols.
I would appreciate suggestions as you might think of tunes I don't. Maybe in those categories:
Decorating tree
Opening presents
Christmas Eve/Day dinners

No children, just adults.

(2020 will go down in history as the year I am more organised in October than I usually am the week before the big day!)
Thank you

One of my favourite carols is I Saw Three Ships....perfect for Christmas morning. There are so many renditions of this carol, such as Celtic as well as traditional boys' choir, that you are sure to find one you like OP.

My own favourite song is Driving Home for Christmas...but I don't think any of us will be doing too much of that this year!

@TheQuietWoman see there's one already I wouldn't have thought of (Three Ships). I wonder if someone will release a 'NOT driving home for Christmas' version of your other suggestion?!
Thank you

'Just like Christmas' by Low

The Judy Garland version of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas is a perfect Covid 19 Christmas Song. The lyrics are much more bittersweet than the saccharine Bublé version. It’s about being separated from loved ones at Christmas.

^Someday soon, we all will be together
If the fates allow
Until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now^
