Yes, there are two christmas songs I just can't get enough of:...
I heard on the radio the other day that "Stop the Cavalry" wasn't meant to be a Christmas song.
The song was already written, but Jona Lewie's agent suggested they put in a Christmas related line to cash in on the festive season.

But it still fits! I don't like the religious songs and there are way too may snow songs...

"Stop the Cavalry" is considered a christmas song?

Bring a Torch, Jeanette Isabella
Definitely my favourite - a French carol, from the Provence region, originally not a carol at all but a dance tune for the French nobility. It is simple, beautiful and haunting.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bring_a...ette,_Isabella

Favourite recording: Liz Story on piano, Album title is "The Gift"

I'm not really into "standard" christmas music.

So, quite often I just put Loreena McKennit's "A Midwinter Night's Dream" album and have that on repeat

Every year we play the classic album by Frank Sinatra in memory of my Grandmother, who loved his music.

And of course, Carol of the Bells

I love it. I'm planning to go pick up some new CD's before work and wanted to find their "A New Journey" CD. We are having the work Christmas Dinner tonight and wanted to give it as a gift.
