Hi guys & gals!

I want to put together the ultimate Christmas playlist so I was hoping LSI members would take a minute and post their favorite Christmas song - any Christmas song by any artist. I'll listen to them and I'm sure I'll discover many gems I would never have heard otherwise! Thanks for participating!!

Donny, I was just replying to your message when I realised I'd missed one of my other favourite Christmas songs: Greg Lake's I Believe In Father Christmas

Joeyy | 28-11-2015 05:48

Also (can't believe I missed these, though I felt certain I'd left some out), Shakin' Stevens - Merry Christmas Everyone

Thanks, Joey! I like them a lot!!

Is Greg Lake from Emerson, Lake, & Palmer? I've heard some of their music and really liked it!

3 hours of Christmas songs playlist...

(Many that I've and others have already mentioned on this list---different artists for some of them so I show it -----and for the reason below).

So someone else had the same idea as you Donny.... maybe if you have access to You Tube you can create your own playlist from all the suggestions we've given you here.

Just giving some suggestions!

* offtopic :
(strange...YouTube mini screen video link does not work here for this one! ...why?)

Thanks, Carl!

Good idea, Practice!

*Googles*
He is.

I remembered another favourite! Well, it came on television and I felt ridiculous for forgetting it. It actually wasn't meant as a Christmas song, but we adopted it as one. Jona Lewie - Stop The Cavalry

You might like to check out Cyndi Lauper's album Merry Christmas...have a nice life. "December Child" is a nice one off there.

Here's her new song that will be on her new album:

Enjoy, Donnie!

There's a version of 'Twelve Days Of Christmas' I like, but this new computer has wiped most of my iTunes and all my Christmas songs are gone, and I can't for the life of me think who sings it (it was a group; very upbeat version).

The Spinners - The Twelve Days of Christmas

I found it.

Joeyy | 28-12-2015 03:43

So, Donny, do you feel you had the ultimate Christmas playlist in the end?

...'Cause I made one on Spotify for my friend's work party and it's almost ten hours long...

DonnyW | 29-12-2015 01:58

Definitely made a great start - thanks to you guys!!!

My Spotify Christmas playlist now has 128 songs (just under 8 hours) and next year I'll add to it and hopefully push it over 200 songs. It's been great fun listening to so many songs you guys suggested that I had never heard before!! Thanks so much to everyone!!!
