christmas tunes

[dakegra]

As it's christmas, we've been listening to a lot of anonymous_greg's fabulous christmas mix CD. It's eclectic but wonderful, and has put me in mind of making one myself.


I'm quite fond of the Rat Pack christmas tunes, but think I'll include some other weird & wonderful things, but I'm also open to suggestions

So, dear reader. What are *your* favourite festive tunes?

Since I like my melodies joyful and my lyrics cynical, I normally include "Fairytale of New York" (Kirsty and the Pogues, accept no cheap imitations) and Greg Lake's "I believe in Father Christmas". I'll also throw in The Pretenders' "2000 Miles" and Jethro Tull's "Another Christmas Song". Plus some folky stuff like Steeleye Span's version of Gaudete and the truly wonderful "A Latin Latin Christmas" by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band.
