Christmas Songs

[kingoflove21vher]

What is your favorite and/or least favorite Christmas songs everyone!?!?

Me? I am quite a fan of The First Noel and Auld Lang Syne (which isn't really a Christmas song but I've always seen it as one since I was a little girl and it was one of my favorite moments in my favorite Christmas movie It's A Wonderful Life.) My least favorites are the really commercialized ones, I even dislike Jingle Bells at times unless its played traditionally.

Santa Baby, So This Is Christmas, Hard Candy Christmas and anything from The Nutcracker.

My favorite christmas album is A Merry Christmas from Frank Sinatra.
I love the song Mistletoe and Holly, lol. And jingle bells.

I love Santa Baby (the original one, not any of the remakes)
Bing Crosby.
Sigh.
Oldies.

[kingoflove21vher]

I have a CD of Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole Christmas songs and I love the one where whichever of them sings O Tannenbaum. When I was younger I LOVED Leroy the Redneck Reindeer.

All of the typical oldies of course, but my top faves are:
-Last Christmas by George Michael
-Christmas Shoes by Newsong
-Same Old Lang Syne by Dan Fogelberg
-Santa Baby covered by Kellie Pickler

I like pretty much any Christmas music, but I have 1 song I HATE:
1) So This is Christmas -- everyone I know says this song depresses them every year.

I like some traditional Christmas music.. like the stuff that gets played everywhere. Just simple old stuff... but I hate when it gets over done. (I think most people do)
I do really like TSO Christmas music. I love how they incorporate heavy guitars and drums into their stuff.

Merry Christmas Everybody- Slade.
Merry Christmas Everyone- Shakin' Stevens.
Fairytale in New York- The Pogues.
Stop the Cavalry- Jona Lewie.

I also love listening to all the old, classic Christmas songs too. I love Christmas and Christmas music so there isn't many songs that really annoy me. There is this one called 'Feliz Navidad', not sure who sings it but for some reason I hate it haha.

I have the Glee Christmas CDs playing on repeat all day from December 1 onwards.

My husband prefers Elvis Presley Blue Christmas, Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra. That's cool, I like them too.

I'm a huge Christmas music fan. I buy 1 or 2 new CDs every year. Have a huge collection.

Favourite song..hmmmm.....

Favourite Religious song is O Holy Night.

Non religious....White Christmas or Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire. Both completely inappropriate for Australia but I love them with a passion. There's nothing like singing about snow when it's stinking hot, you're sweating over the stove and you've never actually touched snow in your life.

[kingoflove21vher]

Off topic but I think quite a bit of Northern Hemisphere-er's expectations of a kangaroo and quite a bit of Southern Hemisphere-er's expectations of snow are about the same.

Not as exciting as they seem to be.

[thegooseiscooked]

Oooh no, I still stop and stand in wonder when I see ...erm.....flock, pride, group.....of kangaroos. They're amazing.

Snow, slush, slippery footpaths and freezing cold weather I can live without. My husband has the opportunity to work in London for a while and I still hesitate because of the weather. I love London like a second home.

But show me a koala or a kangaroo or the Sydney Harbour Bridge and I still shiver with excitement and pride to be Australian.

[thegooseiscooked]

It's a mob or herd of kangaroos. Ashamed that I had to google that.

There's nothing like singing about snow when it's stinking hot, you're sweating over the stove and you've never actually touched snow in your life.

Sounds like Florida.
I feel ya, goosey.

[strawberries]

I've never seen snow fall from the sky, but fresh on the ground while I took trips to Canada, New York, & Northern Cali. Something I wish to experience one day.

[FLOSSY77]

Oh, I forgot Sinatra. Love him.

We put the tree up with the air conditioning on. Not right at all. Florida.

[thegooseiscooked]

We put the tree up and then jumped in the pool! Standard behaviour.
