I love 'O Come, O Come Emmanuel' for Advent, and I love lots of Christmas carols: O Holy Night, We Three Kings, The First Noel, Hark the Herald, O Come all ye faithful etc. plus less well known ones we sang in my choir.

I don't really go in for christmas songs (I don't mind listening to them, but am less fond of singing them). I do enjoy my CD of very tacky old Christmas songs while I'm trimming the tree and making cookies etc. I like the crooners like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin etc. and Julie Andrews, Aretha Franklin - folks who could really sing!

The Pogues & Kirsty McColl - Fairytale of New York
Mariah Carey - All I want for Christmas (I do love a wee sing along to this in the car - on my own of course lol!)

These are probably my two favourite modern classics.

But there's been some great new songs in the past couple of years:

Geraldine McQueen (a.k.a. Peter Kaye) - Once Upon A Christmas Song
The Feeling - Feels Like Christmas
Hurts - All I Want For Christmas Is New Year's Day
Gabriella Cilmi - Warm This Winter
Pet Shop Boys - It Doesn't Often Snow At Christmas
Status Quo - It's Christmastime

I love listening to Christmas songs... gets me even more in the mood and I'm a BIG CHRISTMAS FAN :bigsmile:
