Johnny Mathis When a Child is Born Last Christmas Wham Totally agree! I’d also add Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas by Judy Garland and favourite carol is Oh Come All Ye Faithful. |

Nat King Cole & Bing Crosby always make me think of my childhood. Despite dying 42 years ago, Bing Crosby has released a new LP, just in time for Christmas. Available, I'm sure, from all good record shops! |

One song I love this time of year is Otis Redding's version of White Christmas, it's not played all that much, but I love it (he's one of my favourite artists).
I also love Darlene Love's All Alone at Christmas and Baby Please Come Home.
There's usually a thread with Christmas TV musicals and performances (ballets and such) is there one this year?

It’s Christmas Eve, which for me, as a musical lover, doesn’t begin until I’ve gathered the family around the fireplace, poured some mulled wine, sat piano, and all sung along to our favourite Christmas-themed musical number. That’s right – all together now! – Sam Byck’s monologue in Assassins.
Actually, whilst it’s only Christmassy because of the title, I really really love Jason Robert Brown’s Christmas Lullaby.
Laura Marling’s written music for a number of theatre shows now, so I’ll sneak this seasonal, absolute gem in. It’s beautiful on the album, but the orchestration here... I weep every time.
And have you seen Conor McPherson’s written a sequel to Girl from the North Country? First glimpse here:
