I absolutely agree with your choice Gwyn, but as you got in first I'll post up my other favourite which has to be In Dulce Jubilo.

Good idea Linda to paste in the URL to YouTube. I'm posting in the one by Flash Mob that Gwyn mentioned- the professional opera group that takes opera to shopping malls. The look on people's faces is beyond imagination. It really does unite us all.

I'm so sorry to hear that Gwyn, just make sure you rest as much as possible and I do hope they're better befor Christmas.

Take care Love Linda xx

Total traditionalist - White Christmas by Bing, gets me in mood every time. I may as well have it on a loop as I play it repeatedly all Christmas!

Have to admit I love Emerson, Lake and Palmer's I Believe in Father Christmas.

I'm also going to indulge by posting my favourite version of In Dulce Jubilo - it was a tough choice but I've come down in favour of Kings Choir, Cambridge.

Ditto to Linda's comment x G x :-)

I like to listen to the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols on the radio on Christmas Eve. As soon as the young boy doing the solo starts to sing "Once in Royal David's City", it signals the end of the shopping and the real start of Christmas.

My favourite is Il est ne le divin enfant - the e in ne should have an accent aigu but I can't seem to type one in here! It was rather difficult find ing a YouTube version that wasn't an English-speaking choir murdering the French pronunciation, but here's one sung by a French singer - always assuming I can work out how to paste it in!

The people around look really miserable !!!!! Haha x G x :-)

My favourite is the Fairytale of New York too, but I've just been listening (and singing very badly!) to some carols on my CD and I reckon you can't beat a full choir singing 'Hark the Herald Angels Sing' Love those old traditional carols :-)

You are clever, some of you, I can't work out how to past onto here, maybe it's cos I'm on the iPod?

Love Wendy xx
