Links are simple really but in the mean time you do soprano and I will do tenor! One, two, three, four.

A friend of a friend, Bedsit Barney recorded this piece of pure class... my new favourite Christmas song.

Xenophile

This is what you can call someone who can sing

I also love O Holy Night. Don Oíche Úd i mBeithil is so beautiful. Can't get links to post from phone but the Altan version is lovely.

Something for the under fives. Well, most of us would do almost anything to try and make money and so I forgive them, by the way does anyone like this, it seems to have been a big hit on the internet!

This is my favourite too. Nothing compares to it for me, it just sums up Christmas perfectly for me.

helenafortissima My all-time favorite is A Charlie Brown Christmas (the entire album) by the Vince Guaraldi Trio.

Thanks let's put up. This one is just over seven minutes.

Xenophile

An easy enough one to sing at a family gathering! I think you need to put more energy into it than Elvis did.

Little drummer boy by frank

An Riabhach

An Irish language song which I sang as a kid at a school xmas concert over 20 years ago,named "Fadó,Fadó".

Unfortunately,tis nowhere to be seen on the internet,and these are the only lines I can remember:

"Gaoth bhog ag seoladh
Trí crainn ológ
Timpeall ar Bheithil
Fadó fadó
Caoirigh ar leirig sliabh
Faoi gealach óir
Aoirí ag faire ann
Fadó,fadó."

As regards Christmas Carols, O Holy Night is my favourite (like a lot of people on this thread).

Christmas songs - I love so many of them but I really love "Driving Home for Christmas" by Chris Rea - always makes me feel very festive, especially when it comes on the radio when you are actually driving home for Christmas! :pac:

Remember this??
