following on from 'Fairytale' thread...what's your favourite Christmas song?

[iheartdusty]

my votes go to:

baby, it's cold outside - done in 60's smooth swing style

Santa Baby - Kylie Minogue version

er, Fairytale of New York

All want for Christmas with you - Mariah Carey - am not usually a Mariah fan but I love this song - makes me happy.

All I want for Christmas is you - obviously!

aside from fairytale?

slightly cheesy but i'm quite fond of 2000 miles by the Pretenders. Except for the line where she sings "it's very far". Could have come up with a better lyric there Chrissie surely!

Greg Lake - I believed in Father Christmas

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas - Bing Crosby

And Mariah's All I want for Christmas aswell.

I love them all though. Have started putting on my Christmas CDs when the radio is not giving me enough.

Since it's become my son's favourite this year, "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" because it really makes him strut his stuff and makes me smile.

Santa Baby.

Warm This Winter - on the co-op ad!! (Gabriella Cilmi).
But it is starting to do my head in!

Home For the Holidays or White Christmas

also the Christmas Song - also know known as Chestnuts Roasting on an open Fire by Nat King Cole....

December Will Be Magic Again - Kate Bush
Winters' Tale - David Essex
Is That You Santa Claus - Louis Armstrong

Jonah Louie - Wish I was at home for Christmas
and
Bing Crosby and David Bowie - the Little Drummer Boy
and
Slade! (I know, I know! )

ahem

I think you will find it is Stop the Cavalry by Jonah Louie - gets my vote.

But Fairytale is the ultimate

Last Christmas - Wham

When a Child Is Born - Johnny Mathis [fblush} x 100

Fairytale,wizzard's i wish it could be christmas, and i'm quite liking the co-op food add one, Warm Winter by Gabrelle Climi

Oh and Driving home for christmas ? Chris Rea i think

i'm so pleased we're doing this again this year!

favourite is band aid, the original and christmas in new york.

I'm with cornsilk Definately Fairytale of New York. Love the irony of it and the truth in it apply to sooo many families at xmas

Dear Father Christmas what have you got for me.
Take your sack from off your back
and let me look and see.......... for Children

I really liked the Smith&Jones 'rocking around the christmas tree'.

Also 'When Santa got stuck up the chimney'

New accidental fave. DD, although 9, still likes a bedtime song. I dredged the Rocking Carol from the depths of my memory. The one
with the refrain 'We will rock you, rock you, ro-ock you (repeat)....see the fur to keep you warm, snugly round your tiny form'. Didn't work as a lullaby; DD sits up and starts to belt out 'We will, we will ROCK YOU, ROCK YOU'....

War is over - John Lennon

Have yourself a merry little christmas - Judy Garland
