Favourite Christmas Song????

[northepaul]

I was going to put carol, but wanted to be open minded....

So whats your favourite Christmas song, the one that reminds you of opening presents, warm fires and mince pies? (or other equally important warm cosy feeling inside)

Please name the song and the memory (if you want to).

I'll start the ball rolling:

I love Santa Claus is Comin To Town sung by Bruce Springsteen.

YouTube - Bruce Springsteen Santa Claus Is Coming To Town - London

The reason? Well I have always been a fan and I was given a copy of this particular song one christmas when everything in my life had gone pear shaped - (end of marriage, serious problems with my eldest daughter's health, living in a damp one bed hovel on my own, probably about to loose my job, etc) and this song made me smile.

When I was little I used to love 'White Christmas' but now I prefer something more 'anti-Christmas' like the Pogues Fairytale of New York!

I love them all and sing along much to daughters horror.
Dont remember the ones that I would have sung with my dad before he died way back in 1961 just after Christmas and a month after my 6th birthday.

Lots of memories along the way.

Agreed!

Or any traditional carols sung really well

Frosty the snowman, cause my children used to love it

[Pumpkin Becki]

Blue Christmas - Elvis Presley

It reminds me of when I used to work on Reception at a nearby hotel. It's always the first and most played Christmas song in my collection.

Has Santa been feeding the elves JAs?

Definitely Fairy Tale of New York.

Or Coventry Carol if I'm feeling traditional.
