Driving Home for Christmas by Chris Rea.

Yes, and the dog agrees too!

Also The Snowman song.

Hope that dog’s got a licence!😄

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

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

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

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

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

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. 🤣

Santa Baby by dear Eartha Kitt

TerriBull Sat 30-Nov-24 18:53:29

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

gentleshores Sat 30-Nov-24 18:52:28

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

MiniMoon Sat 30-Nov-24 18:51:48

Carol of the bells
For unto us a child is born (Handel's Messiah).
Fairytale of New York

That is probably my favourite one :-) It's a bit unusual and special. However I do love singing Christmas Carols as well. My favourite Carol is Ding Dong Merrily on High.

Driving home for Christmas
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Stop the cavalry.
Last Christmas
Blue Christmas

I really like ‘Have yourself a merry little Christmas’. I never really knew the words until we were given a sheet music version to play at my piano/keyboard group a few years ago - I find some of the words very poignant.
I shall be digging it out and playing it again soon!

I love Johnny Mathis singing When a Child is Born. His voice has a pure quality that tugs at the old heart strings.

pandapatch Sat 30-Nov-24 18:34:39

I like Fairytale of New York and also Bruce Springsteen Santa Claus is Coming to Town

Jaxjacky Sat 30-Nov-24 18:34:25
