Dug out the old Xmas CD today - I love Mary's Boy Child by Boney M, classic . Oh, and Merry Christmas (War is Over) by John Lennon, always makes me a bit tearful though...

Carols get me all nostalgic too, I was in the choir at Primary School and loved Oh Come All Ye Faithful cos we got to do the extra up and downy bits in the chorus (sorry, it's been a long time since I did anything musical and I can't remember the technical term.

I was just thinking about this the other day (sad I know) and mine is definitely Merry Christmas Everybody by Shaky - I never get bored of listening to it and it gets me right in the festive mood

Apart from The Pogues and Kirsty McCall RIP I love The Pretenders one, name escapes me at the moment.

The Three Kings a carol by Cornelius (iirc)

Oh, and the Sally Army playing In the Bleak Midwinter, but it has to be the right tune, the other one is WRONG!

Another vote for Fairy Tale of New York

sandyballs · 09/12/2008 21:22

Fairy Tale of New York, love it.

nannyeggnogg · 09/12/2008 21:22

Mike Oldfield's In Dulce Jubilo. Always makes me feel happy.

slayerette · 09/12/2008 21:23

tissy - which is the 'right' tune for In The Bleak Midwinter?

Fairytale of New York best Xmas song overall. For sheer getting in the mood, however, Slade

mrsmaidamess · 09/12/2008 21:24

Greg Lake 'I believe in father Christams' Cheesy, but great!

I feel an ipod Christmas playlist coming on....

LOVE "A Spaceman Came Travelling" Chris de Burgh

I also love Little drummer boy by David Bowie and Bing Crosby, but hate hate hate the Aled Jones and Terry Wogan (wtf????) version.

TheMoistWorldOfSeptimusQuench · 09/12/2008 21:30

Also, all of the Phil Spector Christmas album.

And Christmas hasn't properly started until we've listened to the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols on the radio on Christmas Eve [sigh]
