Favorite Christmas Songs

[Freedom]

What are some of your favourite Christmas songs and Christmas carols?

Here's one of my favorites, it's "Good King Wenceslas" and tells a story of a Bohemian king going on a journey and braving harsh winter weather to give alms to a poor peasant on the Feast of Stephen (December 26, the Second Day of Christmas). During the journey, his page is about to give up the struggle against the cold weather, but is enabled to continue by following the king's footprints, step for step, through the deep snow.

Wenceslas is the patron Saint of the Czech Republic.

George Michael and Last Christmas which reminds me of my youth and great times I had.

Glad tidings, glad tidings indeed

I can't really get on board with this because I don't really celebrate Christmas, it's just another day to me, yeah I have a big dinner with me mom n dad then I go home.

I can honestly say that I haven't heard a single Christmas song yet, at work they were talking about the John Lewis advert with Elton John just the other day, I haven't actually seen it yet.

You have you usual xmas songs like Slades Merry Xmas Everyone or The Pogues Fairytale in New York etc which are all good, you even have that Mariah Carey one that kind of epitomizes a cheesy Christmas, I don'tdislike them I am just numb to them.

On Xmas morning whilst I am waiting for the dinner to be cooked I will most likely put this one



for me this one single song is Christmas, yeah it ain't a Christmas song but it is the only one that makes me sit back and appreciate winter, Christmas, family, food, presents and everything else, so whilst it isn't one of the popular ones, from a personal point of view this is the one.

I grew up with this album playing constantly in the house around Christmas time, the chieftains were a phenomenal band.

A few I always play loud are O Tannenbaum, The little drummer boy and Bing Crosbys Mele Kalikimaka. The entire Vince Guaraldi and Charlie Brown Christmas really holds a special place. Brings the mornings of my sisters and myself running around Christmas mornings trying to pry mom and Pop awake BEFORE their coffee. There simply is no BEFORE coffee that early in the morning. Man. I really miss those times. Not a care in the world . But we remember and lucky to hold onto that, day by day ya know.

Oh and Emmett Otters Jugband Christmas. One of THE most overlooked Christmas movies eeeeeeever!
