All time favourite Christmas song..

[dontforgetme]

Whilst putting my tree’s up today and listening to Christmas music I got to thinking about my all time favourite Christmas song. This year I had Ring Out, Solstice Bells on repeat basically the whole time I decced the front room, what a fantastic tune!

Whats yours?

Mine's reasonably niche - Feliz Navidad. It's still a belter, but it played a lot when I lived abroad in the run up to the first Xmas home in a long long time so has a lot of emotions attached.

Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses, Step into Christmas by Elton John and Driving Home for Christmas by Chris Rea.
I actually also really like Kelly Clarksons one but can't remember the name of it.

Underneath the tree? I like that one as well

That's the one!

Carol of the Bells, gives me the shivers, especially when done by a big choir, second is Angels from the Realms of Glory

@Plump82 Christmas wrapping is one of mine too. I drive my kids crazy in the car with it throughout December.

Oh yes good shout, it reminds me of my Christmases in the US.

See also Grandma got run over by a reindeer!

I love Feliz Navidad! Me and my daughter belt it out in the car and sing along at Christmas even though we don't actually know the right words.

I love Step Into Christmas as well and Last Christmas.

The best song ever is absolutely hamildolph by eclipse 6. An absolute masterpiece!!

Pop: I wish it could be Christmas every day by Wizzard. I was 15 the Christmas it got to number 2 in the charts and I've never got tired of it.

Religious: See amid the winter's snow, sung by Kate Rusby. It's just beautiful.

Traditional, Away in a Manger
Pop: Flying Pickets Only you, Bonney M Mary's Boy Child

Keeping the dream alive, by Freiheit. Not technically a Christmas song, but intrinsically entwined with Christmas in my mind.

The fairytale of new york

Hands down 🥰

I used to be a mobile DJ in the 70s and 80s and we used to play Merry Christmas Darling by the Carpenters for a romantic slow dance followed by Wham Last Christmas, Slade Merry Christmas Everybody and Wizard I wish it Could be Christmas Every Day to finish on a high. The crowd went wild!

@dontforgetme freiheit.... keeping the dream alive. The video is gorgeous. Older songs....greg lake I believe in father Christmas. Sooo many good songs though

@VickyEadieofThigh I’ve just listened to that Kate Rusby song - wow

White wine in the sun by Tim Minchin

My Dp loves Otis Redding - Merry Christmas Baby. We got engaged a couple of years ago on Christmas Day and played this allllllll day.

Band Aid

That’s not in the slightest bit niche. It’s really popular!

My favourite is either I Believe In Father Christmas by Greg Lake or Gaudete by Steeleye Span.

White Wine in the sun. I went to a Tim Minchin gig in July and I'm sure every mother of a daughter was wiping their yes.

Yay to Christmas Wrapping!

For traditional i adore the start of Once in Royal on the radio, Christmas Eve afternoon.

Fairytale of New York.

Frosty the Snowman.

I love Ring Out Solstice Bells too. Oh Holy Night and When a Child is Born are also firm favourites here.

Silent night
Away in a manger
Hark The Herald
A Starry Night
Sung by a choir, all so nostalgic and lovely.
