This is sung at nice temp by Caruso!

I agree with the previous poster Mario Lanza is singing it far too quickly.

Jingle Bells

I just found this and listened to the first few songs to see if it was any good. Wonderful selection of music from what I heard. If you've got a tv that can play youtube, it would be so lovely to play on a cold afternoon! It gave me the happy Christmas Feels! Right in the middle of my chest!

That's gas I literally just paired my mobile devices with my tv last night for YouTube so whatever I play on my them will also play on my tv.

Hello Sunday afternoon music lineup! Thanks Alicat

Live Aid. The first one. Brings a tingle to my spine every time I listen to the whole thing.

This song makes gives me tingles and it feels really Christmassy to me. But does anyone find it eerie too?!

julyjane · 01-11-2015 7:44pm

After Fairytale of New York it's a song called Feliz Navidad that's a bit overplayed on Christmas fm every year but I just love it

I love that song but the stupid garmin ad keeps going into my head. I love Christmas Eve Sarajevo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHioIlbnS_A

This is my favorite Christmas song ever;

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeyHl1tQeaQ

But I have to say this is one catchy, cheesy Christmas song haha. A guilty pleasure even for Christmas songs haha.

Honorable mentions go to Last Christmas, the Elf musical soundtrack and The Muppet's Christmas Carol soundtrack.

This one always makes me a bit sad, but the message is powerful- Christmas 1914

Well, I love David Bowie so his duet with Bing is a given for me. As a fan of the old days I also love Wizzard, Slade, Shaky and Pulp do a mean version of I Believe in Father Christmas. I think The Darkness' tune in 2003 was decent - the last proper Christmas tune I remember and I was always raging they missed the top spot to the depressing cover version of Mad World by Gary Jules. Bands don't make Christmas songs anymore - any of you up for a collaboration? ;-) Blondie did a decent We Three Kings and played a bit of the First Noel when I went to see them about a decade ago at a magical Christmas concert in Dublin. The original Band Aid also holds some special memories - I have *very* sketchy memories of the late 1980s when I was about 3-4 years old and hearing that in my granny's house and then going down the town with my older cousins to see 'Santa' (a man with a cotton wool beard) arriving at the Town Hall and again they had Band Aid blaring out of the speakers at the Hall. Driving Home for Christmas, Mariah Carey, Howard Blake's Walking in the Air - bloody heck I love 'em all ;-)

I really like This Christmas by Funzo too. I think it was part of the Christmas FM song competition a few years ago.

baby and crumble · 03-11-2015 11:24am

I'm a big vintage crooners kinda gal, so I love all the Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, all that. My favourite of those is probably "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" by Perry Como:
