What Christmas Songs Do You Like?

Well we are in December, so i thought i would ask what Christmas music you like?
It can be hymns or pop, just leave a link so we all can hear it.
I'll start with one of my favourites, being Chris Rea and the song "Driving home for Christmas", which i'm sure a lot of members will be doing on Christmas Eve, Ha Ha!

Hmmm, not proud of this but it does impress me, not sure why

Mind you, still love Boney M.

And because it’s just out there somewhere

I don't like fluffy Christmas songs but I do like these.


With this being my favourite.

My favorite is Silent Night by the Temptations. It never feels like Christmas to me until I hear the song. The only problem is that it makes me teary eyed as it reminds me of my deceased father. He used to always sing/hum the song when it was playing in the background (completely butchering it) when I was kid.

I'd have to say "Silver Bells" by Dean Martin.
or possibly this one.

We Need A Little Christmas - Percy Faith
This version of it just does it for me somehow. Makes me feel like Christmas

My fav is the Pogues Fairytale of New York as well. Great taste

I read this morning that there is an attempt to have it banned though due to the end verse with the "Fa66ot" reference..what kind of madness is it all coming to.

I'm loving all the songs, thanks for the posts!
Probably because i had to go to a private Catholic School as a child, and had to study Latin, i like the ancient carol, Gaudete, but only the Steeleye Span version.
Ouch, i still remember getting the cane from the brothers!

Its gotta be this timeless masterpiece:

Very funny, i nearly choked, how did John Lennon ever marry her? My carer's dog started howling!

I like old soul and R&B myself.

Without getting all Ecumenical,

I always look forward to “Santa Baby” during this season.

But!, only as sung by the incomparable

Ms. Eartha Kitt!

I'm a sucker for all versions of this actually, but I'll post the trans Siberian orchestra.



This version because of Karen Carpenter's voice.



And this ... it's just beautiful and moves me tears when I hear it. This version with the Piano Guys and the Tabernacle Choir.



This ... because it is a train wreck of a rendition and has become a family joke a tradition because of it. It seriously might be the worst rendition ever.

Has anyone mentioned Father Christmas by the Kinks?

My favorite

Very cool version of Sleigh Ride from Karmin.
