We're compiling a party playlist for the Gransnet Virtual Christmas Party. Let us know on this thread what songs you'd like to include. Once your suggestion has received our committee of elves' approval, we'll add it to the playlist. tchgrin

I saw it on the long river site Feelingmyage, but if you can get it from NG then all the better! smile
I'll put on the link and hope it is not advertising the site taking over the world!

Try them or that 'long river' place.

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth
Of course, how could I forget that one, I was singing it last Christmas to a DGC!

“marydoll” yes!
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas. Was on radio 2 this week - possibly the only animal that you cannot buy as a cuddly toy.

Oh Kitty Scarlet Ribbons always made me cry and it reminds me of my mum who used to sing it. I also like Mary's Boy Child and though it was not intended to be a Christmas song I like The Power of Love by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.

BB it always makes me cry. It's beautiful.

kitty I was singing that song yesterday. I had to look up the beginning of the last verse. I love it and used to sing it to my DD when she was little. Don't know why it came to mind yesterday. How odd
