Anyone got a favorite christmas song other than the ones that are endlessly played .There are some lesser known ones out there.Mine is Every Christmas by Luthor Vandross

I have so many Sweetpea. But I thought I might add my favourite poem. The Christmas Carol by GK Chesterton.
The words are so beautiful.

BBbevan, maybe they just can't spell.

Heard Sol Invictus for the first time in the radio yesterday, thought it was beautiful.

Fairytale in New York - Pogues & Kirsty McCall
Love it- I have it in my Spotify Christmas playlist 5 times.
I like Stop the Cavalry - Jona Louie too.

I prefer Christmas carols to Christmas songs. But my middle daughter always insisting on playng her tape (later CD) of the latter while we decorated the tree. We'll be decorating it on our own this afternoon while listening to Radio 3's Christmas from around Europe.

Gaudete and Greg Lake’s I believe in Father Christmas.

I love the Elvis Christmas album, i listen to it wrapping presents & when i write Christmas cards.

paddyann Sun 16-Dec-18 11:47:36

You'll probably like my first postmaryhoffman37 a few reworked carols on it but reworked in a lovely way.The First Noel is beautiful on it .

Mine will always be Mary’s Boy Child by Harry Belafonte. My parents seldom bought records but they loved this, bought it and we all loved it. I always think of them when I hear it and have very fond memories of 1957 when it was a hit record.

Yes, Driving home for Xmas Hellsbells my dd always plays it at her house when we go and stay for Xmas.

Lilyflower Sun 16-Dec-18 12:38:17

'Last Christmas' by the much missed George Michael. Every year we play it as we are cooking the Christmas dinner and it's become a bit of a family tradition.
