I watched the Danny Baker show on Sky Arts tonight and he played a few Christmas records that I'd never heard............
I liked this one........Christmas At The Airport by Nick Lowe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiSf083QM_U ps..he also played the one from Home Alone 2........by Darlene Love, Alone On Christmas, which someone mentioned a few posts ago.......don't think I'd heard that before but it's a cracker ! |

My three must-haves as "Gaudette" , "Solstice Bells" & "I Believe in Father Christmas" but aren;t in the remit
How about Julia Fordham's "Christmas in London" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Hzk4LWIYJk Probably too well known but David Essex's "Only a Winter's Tale" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUK8aiRq_Iw |

One of their songs has already been mentioned.
But I would also recommend 'Peace At Least' by the Rotary Connection. |

There are a wide number of Folk Songs about Christmas which would now be considered as not well known.
Such as The Carnal and the Crane, or Chistmas Time is now at hand, or On Christmas Day, when a man found Ploughing on that day is smote to death by a vengeful Jesus for such disrespectful behaviour. |

I love all the usual Christmas hits but just saw this thread and no one has mentioned the brilliant Crash Test Dummies and Jingle All The Way. Bloody brilliant.
