    Hi!
    I'm trying to put together a classical Christmas playlist on my ipod, but am a bit stumped. I have the Waltz of the Snowflakes from the Nutcracker, Carol of the Bells, and a couple of songs from the Edward Sissorhands soundtrack - IceDance and Storytime - which are kinda Christmassy.

    Can anyone make a few recommendations? I'm trying to avoid Carols! Things that sound a bit ethereal and "twinkly" are particularly to my taste!! :D

    EDIT: Im Sorry, I realise this is in the total wrong section!! My bad! Most songs in the list don't come under the Classical Genre!!



    Cheers for the Edward Scissorhands Tip, went through my Music Library last week and composed and 'Alternatvie Christams List' with some cheese,classics and then some [possibly unexpected] songs! Some you like, some you will hate[ I have Strange Taste]! Got alot from the Elf Soundtrack and the Ratpack Christmas Collection,enjoy!
