I love 'Rocking Around the Christmas Tree and a few others - which ones do you like?

I remember Eartha Kitt singing 'Santa Baby slip a sable under the tree for me' - she was terrific,

Over to you

I prefer the carols, Carol, possibly because I'm Pagan and like a bit of religion in the season.  But as for the "pop" Christmas songs, no matter what they are I like to give it some decibels as I'm shopping.  Today I was in B&M bellowing along to the muzak - I bet they're heartily sorry they ever put it on.

SEND ME YOUR ADDRESS.

Yes, I like the carols too, had all the Christmsd CDs playing today as I worked about.

[mouse4702]

Okay okay, keep yer 'air on Missus!  (loves Carol xxxx)

What I'd really like is to find someone else singing as they shop, and do a duet.  Sadly when us singers come face to face, we clam up

I like the Boney M version of Mary's Boy Child.  I also like the tradtional carols as well.

[chickengrandma-2008]

I like all carols and songs (except Fairtale of New York, I can't stand it) but I have a soft spot for When a child is born by Johnny Mathis.  This is because my son had to do the speaking part in the Christmas show at school when he was about 8 or 9.  I was soooo nervous for him, especially because when he was rehearsing he would mess about and instead of saying 'They were waiting for one child, black, white, yellow, no-one knows' he would say, 'green, blue, purple, with a big nose.'  I was so scared he would forget and say that on stage!    (He didn't)

I can't stand it.  As you say, not a very merry Christmas song is it!   Very depressing.

I too love the Pogues and Kirsty McColl- a real classic.

Maggie - I'd forgoten about Tom Jones and Cerys Matthews - Baby It's Cold Outside - live on Jools Holland - it's a fantastic duet.

Jools is in Glasgow at the beginning of Dec - we're not going this year - seen him 3 times already.  If you want a good night out then Jools Holland is it - what a talented men.  Always a guest singer (Marc Almond was lousy, Ruby Turner great and Alsion Moyet, sadly, not bad).  At the end of the show the trombonist (hat and rasta hair) - is given time to sing a reggae song - which for the life of me I cannot remember - but everyone is up dancing.  Everyone in the band gets a little time in the spot light, some of the best shows I have ever seen.  Magic.

John Lennon - my boy.

Love Jools & Ruby Turner. 🙂
