Favorite christmas songs

Theoddbird when I was 17 I worked full-time as a waitress, you have my sympathy, even now Frosty the Snowman & I saw Mummy kissing Santa Claus make my hackles rise. I do love Christmas & enjoy a lot of the songs & hymns[

A Winter's Tale by David Essex, anything sung by Jim Reeves and Lonely This Christmas by Mud - that was No 1 in 1974 when my soldier husband was in Belfast for Christmas.

Think the song you are looking for is Fairytale of New York which has these words If you Google it and ask for the lyrics you will be able to join in with the singing ?

My favourite is Chestnuts roasting on and open fire buy I also like one in royal Davids city

Three Kings from Persian Lands Afar reminds me of school days. We learnt this in the choir and we were on the radio singing it (years ago) and my darling Dad taped it. Don't know where that tape is now but he was so proud that I'd actually made being on the radio.
Just another Winter's Tale - David Essex. The Pogues & Kirsty McCall Fairytale of New York.

"Three Kings From Persian Lands Afar", actually it is a Christmas carol composed by Peter Cornelius.

I have only heard this Irish song twice and love it. Just wish I could remember the witty words. It has a group of elderly men sitting in a pub singing "Galway Bay... And the bells ring out for Christmas Day" It has a catchy tune too.
Anybody know it, and if so could you write some of the words down so that I can sing it around the house, please? ,

I work in retail...wall to wall Christmas songs all day. Just fed up with them...

True story - from John Rutter at Albert Hall, no less.

Somebody wrote a carol for the troops in the trenches. He gave it to the singer to take over there with her. It's the one that begins,

"Have yourself a very Merry Christmas..."

When she looked it went on,

"It may be your last..."

She changed the words.

Silent Night for me, or Harry Belafonte.

Oh holy night.

Immanuel by Michael Card .

'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.

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

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.

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 .

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

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

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.

Love it- I have it in my Spotify Christmas playlist 5 times.
I like Stop the Cavalry - Jona Louie too.
