    I'll be singing "It Feels Like Christmas" by the Muppets, because it's from my epic beloved Christmas film - The Muppet Christmas Carol.


  • Registered Users Posts: 110 ✭✭seany76


    Jingle Bell Rock won't get out of my head lol


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,654 ✭✭✭DJIMI TRARORE


    Grandma got ran over by a reindeer,the lyrics are so real and still very raw:)


  • Registered Users Posts: 228 ✭✭Nuno


    "Fairytale of New York", because it's just a fantastic song. Love it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,301 ✭✭✭✭gerrybbadd


    George Michael's "December Song (I Dreamed of Christmas)". For me, it's a callback to my youth, and feeling the magic of the holiday. Added nostalgia hit that poor aul George died Xmas day, so I'll always have this song in my head over the xmas

    "White Christmas" by Frank Sinatra, brings back memories of me hearing this song while sitting by my parents fire while drinking a ice cold pint of Coke! Bliss!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,996 ✭✭✭two wheels good


    "So This is Christmas" by John Lennon.  Because who doesn't want world peace for Christmas! 
    In memory of the late great John Lennon whose anniversary was earlier this month.

    I'll be singing 'driving home for Christmas' by Chris Rea because it's a feel good song that's easy to sing along to and it seems fitting for my journey home for Christmas each year. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,608 ✭✭✭✭The Princess Bride


    Little Drummer Boy /Peace on Earth by  Bowie and Crosby.
    It is timeless, and reminds me of my late Grandad who looked quite like Mr Crosby.
    And of course it's even more special now that Mr Bowie too has passed on.

    it's the one xmas song that really gets to me......reminds me of my dad who's not with us anymore. Now I sing it with my daughter every time it comes on the radio.......with lots of pum pum pums.....

    Hey there liberty and all the staff.... Happy Christmas and a happy new year to you all.

    I will be singing Shaking Stevens Merry Christmas Everybody......

    Is it ok if I mumble some of it like I do with most songs and not the best at singing either... But will give at a go.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,451 ✭✭✭Anjobe


    Not really a Christmas song, but the best ever Christmas #1 is Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)".  My favourite song about Christmas is Greg Lake's "I believe in Father Christmas". 


  • Registered Users Posts: 1 Emmaq92


    Driving home for Christmas I used to sing it with my grandparents every year as it was my grandads favourite Christmas song. Its always gets me in the Christmas spirit and is an old time classic. 


  • Registered Users Posts: 254 ✭✭EletricMan


    Fairy Tale of New York


  • Registered Users Posts: 148 ✭✭copper04


    "Little Drummer Boy" is my favorite song to sing along to,


  • Registered Users Posts: 255 ✭✭remeneerb


    Rockin Around The Christmas Tree because it's lively and festive and fun and gets me in the mood for dancing and singing!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 230 ✭✭Ghall


    Last Christmas by Wham because it's my favourite Christmas song!

    "Let it Snow", because, does it get any more Christmas'y than that?!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,485 ✭✭✭Kittykat67


    Ill be singing Last Christmas, the reason is I just like the song and it always makes me sing out loud


  • Registered Users Posts: 56 ✭✭shivie


    Fairytale of New York... Just always loved it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,809 ✭✭✭✭freshpopcorn


    For me it's not an overly played song here in Ireland. It's Darlene Love - All Alone On Christmas 
    It's a song that  features in Home Alone 2/Lost in New York. Home Alone was always a big thing for me growing up and always put me in a good mood.
