favourite xmas song??

[SlugLobber]

Love most of the above, but I'm always grateful when January comes along and I don't have to listen to the damned things for another year!

Shirlthegirl, Power of Love was released at Christmas and features the nativity in the video.

I also like that Rumpa pum pum one. Good King Wenslace (sp?) was my favourite carol as a kid, along with still die nacht.

and am partial to a sing-a-long to Mariah when in the car. (hate her other stuff with a passion - and no, I'm not gay )

They're coming to take you away, ha ha, ho ho, he he...

Mariah Carey is wrong at any time of year.

I just love that song, the strings really resonate with me.

You won't be surprised to hear that I've never heard of Fairytale of New York (being an Old F*rt!)
Traditional old biddy aren't I?

You might be a traditional old biddy (and there's nothing wrong with that) but you're OUR biddy and we love you

[jackie j]

Well I didnt know fairy tale of new york till I listened to it and now I rememeber and I like it.
I love ' I'm dreaming of a white christmas ' cos we never get snow down here. Also like the old ones as well.
I must get some christmas cd's have tapes but no recorder anymore.

I think this is my favourite Gaudete - this version from Steeleye span

My fav's are those my daughter is singing at the moment, they are rhymes more than songs but very good.

When Santa got stuck up the chimney,
He began to shout:
"You girls and boys,
Won't get any toys,
If you don't pull me out!"

"My beard is black,
There's soot in my sack,
My nose is tickling too!"

When Santa got stuck up the chimney,
"Aaachooo, achoo, achoo!"


Picture my 3 year old singing her heart out to this, I can't wait until we have the nativity.

This is a (children's) Christmas song, I remember singing (and acting) to it when I was little

[OverWyreGrower]

OK, I will own up....

I really dislike 'festive' music of any sort. 99% of it is so overused and overplayed that I can't stand it!

In the run up to Christmas, I generally don't listen to the radio, as I have to turn it off every 3rd song or so...

Gosh, what a 'Bah Humbug' I am!!

[Pumpkin Becki]

For me its Elivis Presley 'Blue Christmas' (hope this works...)

YouTube - Elvis Presley

I used to work in a hotel and would get very excited when the Christmas CDs came out coz that meant it was 'Blue Christmas' time again!!

[MaureenHall]

I really loved going to a Nativity play one of my grandchildren was in. When baby Jesus was born, Mary and Joseph sang "You are my sunshine" It was so sweet, hardly a dry eye in the house

[HeyWayne]

I know what song I don't bladdy like - The Darkness - Christmas Time (Don't Let the Bell End*)

I've had Kerrang TV on this morning having migrated downstairs, and it's been on at least twice already!! Freaks.

Fairytale of New York, but it has to be the Pogues original version, the one by the bloke from the boy band is pants.
Once in Royal David's City. My daughter was born very late on Christmas Eve and an NHS choir stood outside the labour room door and sang this when she was a few minutes old......at the time I just wished they'd b*gg*r off, but now it brings back memories.
White Christmas as it reminds me of my Nan, but it's got to be Bing.

[Glutton4...]

Oh Wayne, you disappoint me - I love that one!

Best one tho is Pogues 'n' Kirsty - Fairytale of New York.

But I also like Slade's and Wizard's contributions to the cause - I guess I'm just a rocker at heart! X
