    The Chimney Song -- Bob Rivers
    Who Put the Stump -- Bob Rivers
    The Restroom Door Said Gentlemen -- Bob Rivers

    Oi to the World -- No Doubt

    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!

    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:
