favourite xmas song??

[rustylady]

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

My very favourite is one that no-one's ever heard of - Behold a Simple Tender Babe.

But I'll settle for Maureen's fave - O Holy Night - or the Shepherds' Farewell by Berlioz. Traditional old biddy aren't I?

Here comes another Old F*rt - Silent Night, Holy Night is my favourite! And I can sing it in the original German (we learnt at school back in the dark ages when there were dinosaurs at the bottom of the garden)

[Seahorse]

FTONY (Kirsty version) is just the canines genitalia. On my last trip home I have since seen video evidence (no recollection at all) of me giving it large, (me and Shane share the same teeth).

I'm sure it's not just me that wants to see the evidence of this!

I know a song that'll get on your nerves, get on your nerves.....

Just remembered this little gem.

YouTube - Jordy Lemoine - It's Christmas C'est Noel

LadyWayne and I sing the chorus to each other each year on Christmas morn.

Well...that's the first time I've heard that!!

perfect for here eh???

If we are going down the carols route, mine would be 'O little town of bethlehem. I'm a mellow one at heart.

[Comfreyfan]

FTONY is my all time favourite. But for carols, the Coventry Carol always gives me goosebumps. Lots of carols will bring me to tears (but OH died just before Christmas, so that might have something to do with it).

While shepherds washed their socks by night
All seated on the ground
the angel of the Lord came down
And.........
can't remember the punchline

[smallblueplanet]

...and said the red pairs mine!

[lynda66]

While shepherds washed their socks by night,
And hung them on the line,
The angel of the Lord came down,
And said 'Those socks are mine !

As shepherds washed their socks by night,
while watching ITV
the angel of the Lord came down
and turned to BBC

While Shepherds washed their socks by night,
All seated round the tub,
The Angel of the the Lord came down,
And gave them all a scrub.

While shephards washed their socks by night,
all seated on the bank..
The angel of the lord came down
and taught them how to **** erm wash stuff...

We three kings of Orient were
Selling Ladies underwear
How fantastic, no elastic
7/6d a pair

[Flummery]

FTONY is my all time favourite. But for carols, the Coventry Carol always gives me goosebumps. Lots of carols will bring me to tears (but OH died just before Christmas, so that might have something to do with it).

That used to make me cry when our big lad - now 33 - was a few month old. Softy eh?

We three kings of Orient were
Selling Ladies underwear
How fantastic, no elastic

We 4 beatles of Liverpool are,
John in a taxi, George in a car.
Paul on a scooter, beeping the hooter,
follwed by Ringo Starr


And from the same era Dora Bryan's (I think) "All I want for Christmas is a Beatle"

I LOVE all the christmas songs! Fairy tale is my all time fave, just so jolly and unchristmassy at the same time!

Shirl, think a 'christmas' song gets put onto christmas albums if it was no1 on christmas day, hence Stay Another Day East 17. Doesn't necessarliy have to be about christmas.

I was just thinking to myself yesterday that there are no new christmas songs anymore. Is it cos they are just too cheesy?!

I quite like the 'can you stop the cavalry, bom bom bom bom bom, bom bom bom bo bom, wish I was at hoooooome for christmas, la la la la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la la la la laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
and I will even listen to Bony M if it's the christmas one!

Drives OH bonkers, he hates them all except Fairy Tale

[nkp1962]

'Stop The Cavalry' - Jonah Lewie

Guess who saw him on the one show last night!

[HayleyB]

Bing and Bowie
FTONY - Pogues
Silent Night - always makes me cry in church, wuss I know
