I just adore Christmas carols hheart.gif xmas_cool.gif

Not the screechy renditions of Rudolph the red nose reindeer. The classic carols. Like the crooners, and traditional songs sung by a choir.

They just make me want to waltz around whilst snow gently falls from the sky! biggrin.gif (Not going to happen living in Australia!).

Am I the only one that gets the warm fuzzies when a carol comes on?!?!

The greatest gift is a passion for reading
I love them too. A well sung version of "o holy night" Makes me want to cry I love it so much. It's not Christmas until I hear it.

I like pretty much all christmas songs, including all the super cheesy ones, and the sort of annoying ones that you hear in shopping centres and stuff. I try not to start playing them until 1 December, for my husband's sake.

I started playing Christmas Carols at the beginning of November ph34r.gif

I love Christmas so much and have some great CD's with crooners and choirs.

I would love it to snow though......just one White Christmas in Australia.

My family have christmas carols on christmas eve, and have done every year since I was 11. I'm now 37!! I play the piano (when I'm available/in the right state) and a bunch of family friends come over. We have fish and chips and champagne, then carols. I live in Sydney now and Mum and Dad are in Perth, but we're going back this year, so I'll be back at the piano again! Quite looking forward to it actually.

And then there was the time that we (the choir I sang with at the time) did 35 carolling gigs leading up to Christmas. We figured out we'd probably sung the tune to away in a manger about 300 times by the Christmas that year. Can't say I'm overly fond of that tune now!

My favourite carols are O Holy Night and Silent Night. And is it too early to get the christmas tree out now? I'm itching by DH thinks it's ridiculous...

You're not the only one. I love Christmas Carols - its the only thing I truly love about all the christmas stuff these days. I have been caught singing out loud in shops and supermarkets a lot.

I have been playing mine for about a week and I just bought a new CD yesterday from Big W called "A Very Special Christmas". It has Stevie Nicks singing "Silent Night" and it is truly beuatiful. Also The Pointer Sisters singing " Santa Claus is coming to town" sounds great and there is a version of Madonna singing "Santa Baby" that sounds so different to her normal singing voice I had to read the CD twice to make sure it was her.

I'm off now to make my Christmas 2012 mixed CD - I really wish they would make larger data CD's so I can fit more songs on, its always hard narrowing the field down to 20 songs.

I have to hold back tears when I hear Joy to the world. Back when we were growing up my Grandpa used to embarrass us so much at church! He would sing the line 'and heaven and nature sing' so loudly and with so much gusto that my sister and I would try and hide!

Now being a grown up and my grandpa not being with us anymore I would do anything to have him back and sing proudly next to him cry1.gif

So every time I hear that song I hold back the tears, smile to myself and think of my Grandpa wub.gif
