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

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!)

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!

Craftyhunnypie- it's a Chris De Burgh song- A Spaceman Came Travelling

[craftyhunnypie]

Yes that's the one! I imagine little green men in Santa suits!

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

[BeckyBoo]

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!

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.

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

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 !

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

No no noooo It has to be Fairytale of New York or Greg Lake's I belive in Father Christmas surely?

[Valkyrie]

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.
