What's your favourite Christmas Carol?

[marklaspalmas]

Mine's Silent Night.

[Phil]

The holly and the ivy

[Futtocks]

The Harold Darke version of 'In the bleak Midwinter' is a favourite.

 

And thinking back to before my voice broke and I sang in a choir, the final verse of 'O Little Town of Bethlehem', with the descant part, now amazes me that I could have sung that at all, let alone well.

[Old Frightful]

Well, it's certainly not that horrible plastic surgery altered tramp that used to be on Countdown.

Enya's Gaelic version of Silent Night gives me goosebumps.

[Robin Evans]

My wife is called carol.... She's my fav..

And while shepherds watch etc..

While Shepherds washed their socks by night,

all seated round a tub.

A bar of Sunlight Soap came down

and game them all a scrub.

Yup.... I think we all know a similar version

[C H Calthrop]

Ding dong merrily on high. If for no other reason than the "Ding Dong" bit.

[metallithrax]

Mine would have to be "The Muppets Christmas Carol"

[Saintslass]

I have joint favourites: In the Bleak Midwinter and Away in a Manger.

[Bearman]

My favourite Yule song is "When Santa Got Stick Up the Chimney".

Can't be doing with all this God bothering at Yule.

[Trojan]

While Shepherds Watched to the tune Cranbrook (which you'll all recognise)

[John Rhino]

My favourite Yule song is "When Santa Got Stick Up the Chimney".

Urgh, that sounds a lot worse than being stuck.

[JohnM]

I realise it all a fairy story, but despite all that, this is pretty good.

( how do I post it as an actual youtube video?)

 

[Wolford6]

Phil Spector's Christmas Album.

 

It's hosanna in excelsis,

[John Drake]

Gaudete - no idea what it's about as it's in latin but I like the tune.

 

Once In Royal David's City and Silent Night are also favourites of mine.

Partridgesque!

[John Drake]

Sigh...

 

What's the point.

[marklaspalmas]

I did say "Carol" but if we're going to widen it out, that John Lennon song, Alliwantforchristmasisyou and.......I'm sorry it has to be said, Band Aid's Do they know it's Christmas? would be up there too.

 

Not sure if Stop The Cavalry counts or not.

 

Little Drummer Boy too.

[C H Calthrop]

Sigh...

 

What's the point.

Of what... lighthearted banter on the subject of Christmas Carols...it's its own reward.

[deluded pom?]

Partridgesque!

Back of the net.

Rejoice! Christ is born etc.....

 

It's an enjoyable carol to sing.

[deluded pom?]

I love the lyrics to il Duce Jubilo.
