Guest Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 and a little cry This song always makes me cry but I love it! Here's to those, for whatever reason, who can't be with us this Christmas xxx http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5g4lY8Y3eoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I have been playing this constantly on my Christmas CD. Along with Nat King Cole's "Christmas Song" - they are my favourite festive songs. And I love Judy Garland (I get that from my mother!)

craftyhunnypie Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I love the John Lennon - So this is Christmas (war is over). I also love the spaceman came a calling (??) one - you can really ner ner to that one! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Yes that's the one! I imagine little green men in Santa suits! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I adore "Rocking around the Christmas Tree", in fact its about time I got my Christmas Karaoke CD out, as that is always my number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyBoo Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Yes, we've been playing the old compilation CD's (or rather I have !) I have Christmas Carols sung by schoolchildren, to which I warble along in a glass breaking wobbly falsetto voice (much to small persons embarrassment, particularly if they have friends over) and ED constantly plays Slade, Merry Christmas. At this time of year I reckon the cheesier the better! BeckyBoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Oh Poet - always makes me cry that one. Love it. And my other one is the David Essex one - something or other Winter's Tale - not sure whether that is the proper title or "It was only a" goes in front . Don't cry for that one. And The Spinners doing the 12 days of Christmas - because it's funny. Ooh the Sleigh Ride song is the ultimate favourite. OH's is Let it Snow - which is infuriating because it's being howled by him quite often now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadietoo Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 For me the ultimate christmas song is Stop the Cavalry - Jonah Lewie as I had my first baby (20 years ago) at the end of November, but we used to leave the radio on at night ( because it had been on in the nursery at the hospital) and I remember the night time feeds with that playing...so evocative even is she is at Uni now!!! Generally I get a bit teary around any Christmas songs and can't be relied on not to well up when they play " Oh come all ye Faithful" even if that is in the middle of a shopping precinct...damn these hormones are hard to manage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancing cloud Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I still love Alien for Christmas by Fountains of Wayne (no, I've never heard of them doing anything else either) - not slushy or sentimental, just a little bit silly and a definite sing-a-long. Mud's Lonely This Christmas usually sees me clutching the box of chocolates for comfort ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henriette Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Oh Poet - always makes me cry that one. Love it. And my other one is the David Essex one - something or other Winter's Tale - not sure whether that is the proper title or "It was only a" goes in front . Me too! I think the title was Winter's Tale. Actually, I'm just a sucker for most Christmas songs - I still love "White Christmas" even though it has been murdered time and time again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenNutter Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 No no noooo It has to be Fairytale of New York or Greg Lake's I belive in Father Christmas surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Oh I love the Fairytale of New York - makes me laugh (I especially emphasise singing that naughty part to OH)! Then there's Mike Oldfield's one that I can never remember the name of - when my 2 were little we did a bit of Morris Dancing with socks around the settee. That sort of stopped when somebody let go of their sock and it landed in a cactus with hooked barbs. Luckily they belonged to OH. Took ages to undo it.
