Oh - that old chestnut    I am singing that next week - must practice the semi-tones.

We have a lovely arrangement of Away in a Manger that I am in love with.

Most of all, I like While Shepherds Watched to Thomas Clark's iconic tune (Ilkley Moor bar t'at  ) for a really good sing-along.

[Elizabethrose]

Haha dahliagirl, I have never heard that before, haha that will not be on my favs list!!

Another rendition of your favourite. Nat's a permanent resident in our home over the Christmas period! x

Although I'm not religious I love the Christmas carols more than the usual christmas songs.
Oh come Oh Come Emmanuel
The Holly and the Ivy
We three kings

[Elizabethrose]

Oh me too coldethyl, absolutely love singing carols. Silent night, O come all ye faithful, Deck the halls, so many more! x

But I'm on a roll here, does anyone remember this? RIP two great songsters.

Away in a manger sung by children always reduces me to tears.

Nat King Cole's Chestnuts is another good one. Love that voice.

[dazned]

Most of all, I like While Shepherds Watched to Thomas Clark's iconic tune (Ilkley Moor bar t'at  ) for a really good sing-along.

Years ago, I heard/watched that version of While Shepherds Watched on Songs of Praise, or something like that.  I thought it fitted really well; in fact, I almost preferred it to the usual setting!

I love: O Holy Night, sung by the American Boys' Choir; Christmas Dream, sung by Perry Como; Carol of the Bells, sung by Libera (listening to it just now!); Hark the Herald Angels Sing, which sums up my religious beliefs; and the organ voluntary I'm doing at this year's Midnight service, which is a sort-of fantasy on Hark the Herald by the composer David Wilcox.  And the Hallelujah Chorus.  Oh, and this....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo0qfqIDQa4

I am not religious but I love carols because there are so many harmonies ………

White Christmas is my favourite but it's TOO EARLY in the shops and on the radio - middle of next week will be soon enough !
