Another vote for Joni Mitchell’s River. I only discovered it a couple of years ago. The only problem is, whenever I play it people ask if I’m OK Xmas Hmm

LittleRa · 20/12/2020 19:32

I posted on this thread just a few posts in and have been watching the responses, and making a playlist! I love River. Another suggestion- 2000 Miles by The Pretenders.

Christmas blues Sabrina Claudio

Penguin, James Penguin by Brad Paisley. His Christmas album is fab but that's my favourite

We also like the Kacey Musgraves Christmas album, 'ribbons and bows' and 'I want a hippopotamus for Christmas' especially.

I always thought feliz navidad was well known but my DD learned it at school this year and hardly anyone had heard it.

Can I add for those who haven't heard it the Cocteau Twins' version of Frosty the Snowman

Oi to the World by No Doubt

BabloHoney · 20/12/2020 20:24

I love She Came Home for Christmas by Mew.

Also Greg Lake I Believe in Father Christmas.. there’s a great version by Gaz Coombes.

Blake Shelton is a big love generally
but this song just makes me smile and dance around the kitchen.

MrsGrindah · 20/12/2020 20:29

I’m going to listen to all of these tomorrow. One I have just discovered is Oh Holy Night by Carrie Underwood. My favourite carol by an amazing singer

MrsGrindah · 20/12/2020 20:31

Oh @FestiveFannyGallops see my post..I nearly commented that you don’t think of country music at Christmas!

FestiveFannyGallops · 20/12/2020 20:39

There are some great country Christmas songs around. I'll check out Kasey Musgraves too but I've been listening to Carrie Underwood all weekend as Blown Away is my favourite song by her at the moment. Before he cheats is fab.

FestiveFannyGallops · 20/12/2020 20:45

@majesticallyawkward oh my, that is awesome! DS loves penguins and we have just listened to it together. Love Brad Paisley.

Driving home for Christmas by Michael Ball Blush

TheYearOfSmallThings · 20/12/2020 21:27

FestiveFannyGallops if you like Carrie Underwood then Jesus Take the Wheel is another Christmas one.

BrigitsBigKnickers · 20/12/2020 21:30

I love Florin Street band - "Favourite time of year"

MrsGrindah · 20/12/2020 21:31

Trisha Yearwood On A Bus To St Cloud always feels Christmassy and is a beautiful song.

BrigitsBigKnickers · 20/12/2020 21:33

Oh and my absolute favourite is "Mary did you Know? " performed by Voctave and the composer Mark Lowry who has the most incredible voice.

Chailatte20 · 20/12/2020 21:37

Ring Christmas Bells covered by Ray Conniff & the Ray Conniff Singers

needabus · 20/12/2020 21:39

I love the hanson Xmas albums 🤣 I think teenage me listened to it so much that now I have to listen each year to feel Christmassy
Then they did another a couple of years ago which is good too

holyshitdude · 20/12/2020 21:43

Merry fucking Christmas by Corey Taylor, childish but funny

caringcarer · 20/12/2020 21:44

Carol of the bells.
