I heard my son's most favourite Christmas song today ....Fairytale of New York .....and it got me wondering if you have a favourite /special Christmas song ....carol , or popular

Christmas song....Fairytale of New York (your son has the best taste).
Christmas carol.... Once in Royal David City.
Another Fairy Tale of New York fan here. Also
I will stop the Cavalry
Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas
In the Bleak Midwinter
I was pondering the subject of Christmas carols while attempting to sing along to a couple during our school's prize giving ceremony last Thursday. Maybe it was because I was trying to sing along with 600 boys but I really struggle to sing bits of them!
To reach the high bits I have three choices -
1: start uncomfortably low and hit the high bits with aplomb
2: start at a normal level and dramatically fail to reach the high bits
3: start normal, then drop down for the high bits, sounding totally ridiculous in the process
In the end I went with choice number 4.... give up and mime your way through it.

Ooooh yeah! That's a good 'un!

That is probably my least favourite, are you sure your son got his good taste from you? 
Fairytale of New York and I will stop the Cavalry. Two popular Christmas songs but both have very un-festive lyrics
Christmas Rapping - The Waitresses
no arguement from me..it's Kirsty and the Pogues , Fairytale of New York 
oh and I will add Little Drummer Boy, Bing Crosby (my dads fav) and David Bowie (drools) 
Carol......Hark the Herald Angels
Song......Any of them really, just not played on replay, or to loud, they all hold a sense of fun or bah humbug to me.

that's my guilty Christmas song pleasure!
for goosepimples though I live Simon & Garfunkel's Silent Night/Seven o'clock news.
Carols... to listen to Silent night.. to belt out tunelessly at the top of my voice - The First Noel or Hark the Herald Angels Sing.
I feel sorry for the peeps that work in shops.....it's on a loop
