White winter hymnal by fleet foxes

I did a little squeal this morning when I heard White Winter Hymnal on the radio.

Wombling Merry Christmas
Christmas (baby please come home) - U2 version only
Do they know it's Christmas - Band Aid. I know we're meant to sneer at it these days but I love it to bits

Oh maybe the carol of the bells, erm all I want for christmas, erm jingle bells.
Can't listen to little drummer boy after learning about Lesley Ann Downey years ago

One more sleep- Leona

Jingle Bell Rock

Also like traditional hymn type songs too

Especially O' Holy Night

White Wine in the Sun - Tim Minchin

White Winter Hymnal - Fleet Foxes

Sugar and Booze - Ana Gasteyer

Ooh yes, hiw could i forget Leona and One More Sleep - love that son. Carol of the bells is also a fave. There's so many really.

Fairy tale of New York
Merry Christmas everyone by Shakin' Stevens, purely for nostalgia as it reminds me of being a teenager.
Feliz Navidad by Jose Feliciano, even though it's cheesy.
I also like Driving home for Christmas.

Christmas Wrapping
Merry Christmas Everyone
Fairytale of New York

Snow is falling in Manhattan - Chilly Gonzales/Jarvis Cocker. Not strictly a Christmas song but definitely wintry.
Joy - Tracey Thorn
Silent Night - the Sinead O'Connor version

Driving home for Christmas - Chris Rea

Christmas (Baby please come home) - Darlene Love version, not Buble!

I wish it could be Christmas every day - Wizzard

But I love sooooo many Christmas songs! Not a fan of Band Aid

Fairytale of New York
Christmas Wrapping
Santa Baby

Fairytale of New York
Baby it’s cold outside
anything by Frank Sinatra and rest of rat pack

Last Christmas - Wham
O' Holy Night - Mariah
Mistletoe and Wine - Cliff

Actually I feel more Christmassy when there are no ‘Christmas’ songs. If you watch Christmas movies the most Christmassy music tends to be swing and jazzy type tracks.

Fairytale of New York - The Pogues & Kirsty McColl
Snowman - Sia
Wintersong - Sarah McLachlan

The Holly and the Ivy

I Saw Three Ships Come Sailing By

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Slade Merry Christmas everyone

Mariah Carey All want for Christmas is you

East 17 Stay another day

My absolute favourites

Have yourself a merry little christmas

Oh Holy night

All I want for Christmas is you

Must be Santa
I wish it could be Christmas everyday
Fairytale of New York
