Leroy Anderson's 'Sleigh Ride'.
I remember listening to it as a child with my lovely Mum. It summed up christmas for me then, and it still does.
Mum died a few years ago but can I please say on Gransnet:

Night night Mum, Merry christmas, and Thank You for leaving me with a wonderful memory of Christmas xxx.
And for all those who have lost a loved one. My thoughts are with you too.
xxxx

Dean Martin ‘Let it Snow’. Whenever I hear it I feel Christmas has arrived.
Feliz Navidad by Michael Buble and Kelly Rowlands - watch it on YouTube it’s amazing!
And finally ‘In the Bleak mid winter’.

The Shepherd’s Carol by Bob Chilcott. Hauntingly beautiful. Wish I could do links!

I work in a small shop selling Scottish things to tourists and local, it’s quality stuff.
We play a cd of Christmas music. It’s Christmas favourites played on the bagpipes! It’s sooo much better than it sounds, the best is “little donkey” played by the unlikely combo of pipes and Jamaica steel band! It’s really, really good.^i might have to buy it....my husband will have a fit!^

Our Community choir, which only formed a little while ago, bravely decided, last August, to learn 17 Christmas songs to perform in a concert.
The concert took place last night, with an 'full house' of 350, and was a resounding success. I was very glad to finale with this final 'cheesy' song, and look forward to some proper Christmas carols at Midnight Mass, with my church choir.

Dean Martin (a voice like melting Galaxy Choccy!) singing: "Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow"

Every year, the sainted Sir Terry Wogan would play, as a special treat, Frank Kelly's version of The Twelves Days of Christmas - and every year I would have to stop on my way to work because I was laughing so much... I'd like to nominate this as my favourite Christmas song in memory of the lovely man.
