What's your favourite Christmas song?

I fully understand that this will be quite different between different countries, but that's also why a reason why I'm curious.
Mine is "O Helga Natt[^]" (Oh Holy Night). Especially when sung by Jussi Björling. (Pavarotti can take a hike).

Hmm, there are so many, but you certainly know it's Christams when The Pogues Featuring Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale of New York.[^] comes on the radio.

Or how about Wizzard - I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday[^] or even Slade - Merry Christmas Everyone[^]

It is not really until you hear one on the radio or telly that they jump out and say that's a favourite!

What do you mean with EVEN Slade.
I'm seriously a fan of them and feel ashamed that I've forgotten about that song.
Have a five for refreshing my pickled brain.

That's exactly the song I first thought of. Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

It makes me smile and laugh. The rest of them seem to make me groan these days.

The anti-nowhere league might sum up my attitude to Christmas but since this is the lounge and I like pretty much anything by Bach I will go for: J.S. Bach - Christmas Oratorio BWV 248[^]
(his Easter music[^] is much better by the way)

Lindstrom's version of the little drummer boy, he did a 40 minute version of the track ending in an techno apotheosis.

"Zombies" by the Cranberries and the one-and-only Dolores O'Riordan.

"What Turing gave us for the first time (and without Turing you just couldn't do any of this) is he gave us a way of thinking about and taking seriously and thinking in a disciplined way about phenomena that have, as I like to say, trillions of moving parts.

Until the late 20th century, nobody knew how to take seriously a machine with a trillion moving parts. It's just mind-boggling." Daniel C. Dennett

Most of what goes for culture in the UK nowadays is fairly poor.
If, when Bulgarians start moving to the UK next year, they bring some of their culture I will be more than happy to welcome them. Smile | :)

Yeah, I'm afraid the most likely group to move will be ethnically not quite bulgarians. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

edit:
Besides, some of Them[^] apparently moved to Scotland long time ago Smile | :)

I'm feeling some ambiguity in that sentence.
Are you referring to the fact that they're not really Bulgarians, or that they might be moving? Poke tongue | ;-P
