Lesser Known Christmas Songs
I know it is early but I am building my Christmas playlist for December and I am looking for some new Christmas songs for my playlist.
I have the likes of Slade, Shakin Stevens and Band Aid but I am looking for some lesser known ones rather than the big ones everyone knows. Example I have discovered Trans Siberian Orchestra who merge metal and Christmas together. Any suggestions? |

All three of my most favorite Christmas songs just happen to fall into this category!
![]() "Fall Softly Snow"-Jim Ed Brown & Helen Cornelius "What Do You See?"-Sonya Isaacs (Right now her singing this is not at the You Tube website.) "Only You Can Bring Me Cheer"-Alison Krauss God bless you and those who sing them always!!! ![]() Holly (a fan of Alison since 1994) P.S. And may the awesome Jim Ed Brown rest in peace. |

One of the most 'Christmassy' for me, and always gets left out of Christmas compilation albums, is " Wombling Merry Christmas" by The Wombles.
I also love " Turkey Lurkey Time" by Debbie Gravitte. But it has to be her version. The original stage version ( it's from the stage musical "Promises Promises" ) is a bit strange and very dated. |
