Favourite Christmas Songs

I think I may have mentioned before, but our elder DD had only ever heard the Phil Spector version of "Frosty the Snowman". When her class had to rehearse a version for their very first Christmas Concert, at the age of 5 she immediately went straight into the Ronettes version complete with vigorous dance routine. Her teacher and the Head Teacher were in fits of laughter and told me all about it when I went to pick her up at the end of the day!

Our ritual at Christmas is to put up the tree and decorations to the sound of Phil Spector's Christmas Album - nothing beats it for sheer joyfulness and it puts me in the Christmas mood! I do admit that I always stop it at the end when Phil himself gives his Christmas message - there are limits...

Driving Home for Christmas by Chris Rea.

Yes, and the dog agrees too!

Also The Snowman song.

Michael Buble version of Baby Please Come Home is my favourite followed by Chris Rea Driving Home For Christmas.

I Believe in Father Christmas
Last Christmas
I wish it could be Christmas everyday
are my favourites.

I absolutely LOATHE Fairytale of NY! If it comes on over the tannoy in shops, I have had to leave! It’s THAT bad! I also absolutely hate ‘Do they know it’s Christmas?’. I have suffered that dreadful racket for forty years and the only reason I am glad to be old is that there is no way I’ll have to suffer it for many more!
It really is about time we had some new, tuneful songs to celebrate the season.
I sound like grumpy old woman. I’m not! I love Christmas, it’s just those songs I hate!

Fairytale of New York
Little Drummer Boy
A spaceman came travelling
Gaudete
Jingle Bell Rock
Let it Snow
5 more sleeps
Baby it's cold outside
Winter Wonderland... so many special songs evoking many memories.

Definitely Fairytale Of New York.
A Winters Tale
Last Christmas (has to be with the video! )

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.

Yes, Gbatty all such lovely tunes and good lyrics. I often watch Holly Johnson on YouTube singing PoL at the end of Taskmaster - he’s still got the voice.

Georgesgran The Power of love and A spaceman came travelling are two of my favourites. Along with Greg Lake and They said there'd be snow this Christmas

Should add they played ‘A Spaceman came Travelling’ at the garden centre today - I’d forgotten how melodic that was.

The Power of Love - Frankie goes to Hollywood.

Oh dear KL - not Little Drummer Boy - ever.

Driving Home for Christmas by Chris Rea.

There is definitely something about 'Fairy Tale of New York' though there shouldn't really!!

I love Little Drummer Boy' - the Bing Crosby and David Bowie version.

There is something about Fairy Tale of New York that I like, along with either Rod Stewart or Michael Buble’s version of some of the classic Christmas songs.

My favourite carol is Carol of the Chimes
