Oh and my other favourite one is Mud "It'll be Lonely this Christmas" - with their 70s Elvis sound grin

Definitely Fairytale of New York
Driving Home For Christmas
My sentimental side loves I'm Dreaming of A White Christmas (Even though anything but!)
In The Deep Midwinter
Away in a Manger sung by little'uns, always makes me want to cry
Silent Night

I’m an old fashioned girl when it comes to Christmas songs, I like the crooners from the fifties and sixties. My absolute favourite is Let it Snow, the Dean Martin version.

Me too! I was scrolling down to see if anyone had chosen it before I posted. 🤣

Fairytale of New York and in contrast BoneyMs version of Mary's Boy child Jesus Christ.

Baby it's Cold Outside - Tom Jones and Ceris Matthews.

I love that too kittylester, you can hear in their voices how much fun they were having when they made it.

There’s only one for me. I believe in Father Christmas, Greg Lake. Just wonderful. You can keep the rest along with Christmas!

Jethro Tull’s Ring Our Solstice Bells is my absolute favourite.

When a child is born
Fairytale of New York
I wish it could be Christmas every day
Lots if Christmas carols too, especially the traditional ones.

If you want a real rocking Christmas song ask Alexa for ‘Santa is back in town’ by Elvis. 🕺💃

Silent Night
The Holly and the Ivy

Driving Home for Christmas by Chris Rea.

Yes, and the dog agrees too!

Also The Snowman song.

Hope that dog’s got a licence!😄

I also like Driving home for Christmas and I believe in Father Christmas.🎅🏼

Louella12 Sat 30-Nov-24 21:18:17

I loathe Fairytale in New York

I love I Believe in Father Christmas, even though it is slightly dark.

Darlene Love, All Alone on Christmas, is one of my favourites along with John and Yoko, Merry Xmas, War is Over.

River by Joni Mitchell, lovely & not played to death.
Hate FTONY

Oreo Sun 01-Dec-24 07:54:17

Is River a Christmas song, I haven’t heard of it?
Being the 1 December all the shops will be playing these songs soon but if I hear the Noddy Holder one I may have to get out fast.😁

It has to be Wham's Last Christmas/

nanna8 Sun 01-Dec-24 08:00:17

O Holy Night and I do like Elvis’s Blue Christmas and Fairytale of New York is another ‘modern’ one. Also Silent Night in German by the Vienna Boys Choir. Magic.
