Josh Groban. O holy night. Very emotional.

I love Santa Baby not sure who by

Any/all carols sung by a decent choir.
Forget all the other stuff, nothing to do with Christmas.

‘Where Are You Christmas?” by Faith Hill,

Gaudete by Steeleye Span

Wham's Last Christmas, Frankie Goes To Hollywood The Power of Love and The Ronettes Sleigh Ride. Adore them all, but especially the video of George Michael rolling about in the snow.....

Bob Dylan "It must be Father Christmas" makes me laugh every time and Eartha Kitt singing 'Santa Baby' .

I’m with Foxyferret. Christmas for Cowboys by John Denver takes things away from commercialism and back to a natural Christmas.

Blue Christmas, by Elvis

Torbroud Tue 15-Dec-20 16:03:46

John Lennon, So this is Christmas.
All time classic

Johnny Mathis "When a Child is Born". A bit old fashioned maybe but he has a beautiful voice and every word is crystal clear.

Henetha here is your link for Mary, Did You Know. Lovely song!

I love Good King Wenceslas by The Roches, Santa Baby by Eartha Kitt and The Christmas Song as sung by Nat King Cole. Carols-wise, it's got to be It Came Upon The Midnight Clear and In The Bleak Midwinter (but only the Holst version).

Can't bear Fairytale of New York or Gaudete ...

clareken Tue 15-Dec-20 16:55:50

Carol of the Bells. The Pentatonix version is really good.

Away in a manger sung by small children always bring tears to my eyes .

Lucretzia Tue 15-Dec-20 17:09:48

All Alone on Christmas by Darlene Love

Love this song but it's not played often

Except in my house

Like now smile

Casdon Tue 15-Dec-20 17:23:33

I get so bored of the same old songs being played every year, I like Jamie Cullen’s new one ‘Hang your Lights’. Of the old songs, ‘Let it Snow’ sung by Dean Martin makes me happy.

Bluecat Tue 15-Dec-20 17:54:42

Santa Claus Is Back In Town by Elvis. Seasonal and sexy at the same time.

jerseygirl Tue 15-Dec-20 19:08:43

Driving home for christmas and also all i want for christmas

BlueSapphire Tue 15-Dec-20 19:37:57

The Harold Darke version of In the Bleak Midwinter..

Jennyluck Tue 15-Dec-20 19:59:54

I like a lots of the usual Xmas songs. But for a new one, Mabel — the loneliest Christmas. ???

fairytale of new york

Kartush Tue 15-Dec-20 21:14:44

I just bought Derek Ryans new cd The road to Christmas to play on Christmas day

Lexisgranny Tue 15-Dec-20 22:51:01

Thank you to those who I suggested Pentatonix, at last a group that dh and bacon both enjoy!
Ps sorry to butt in on the thread, but this is a momentous occasion in our home.

Fairytale of New York is my all time favourite.

I like Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree. Brenda Lee.
