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

    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!

    Samantha Mumba's version of "All I Want For Xmas Is You"-because I laugh every time I hear it...

    http://www.mp3olimp.net/samantha-mumba-all-want-for-christmas/

    And this excellent instrumental of The Carol Of The Bells-just listen to the harmonies...

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

    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:
