Do you find yourself singing and dancing along in your living room to All I Want for Christmas Is You? Or maybe you prefer the more classic hymns such as Silent Night that are peaceful and traditional?

But which one is your favourite? Let us know what gets you in the holiday spirit!

Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses is my favourite Christmas song, what’s yours?

    I love listening to Christmas music, especially good old classics such as Silent Night and In the Bleak Mid-Winter. Nothing makes me feel more christmassy than attending our local carol services in our town.

    Another great Christmas song I would choose time and time again, is Fairytale of New York by the Pogues.

    Merry Christmas everyone 😊

    I love the traditional carols, I don't particularly like them messed about with!! I do love Fairytale of New York, it always makes me smile when I hear it, but my fave is probably still, Do they know it's Christmas. I remember being a kid when it came out, and it was obviously for a great cause, but it also is a great song. 🙂

    I think I like Hark the Herald Angels Sing, Mary's Boy Child by Boney M, Feliz Navidid by Jose Feliciano and Christmas Wrapping Song by The Waitresses.

    Song I've heard way to much: Fairytale of New York (sorry Shane & Kirsty).

    I like traditional carols, not all the Mariah Carey stuff etc. My favourites the Coventry carol. I love it!

    A Soldier's King

    A Soldier's King

    Song by

    Kenny RogersNo one seem to notice the man beside the road
    He was just a ragged soldier out there in the cold
    But he seemed to have a purpose only known to him
    As he walked along the streets
    That night through the town of Bethlehem
    In his head, he held a memory of all the wars he'd known
    In his hand, he clutched a medal for the bravery he'd shown
    And the weight of every battle he carried in his heart
    But his eyes were clear and searching
    For a manger in the dark
    Some are born to greatness, some are born to fall
    Some are bound to be forgotten like they never lived at all
    But we're all born to know him and stand before his light
    Like the soldier who found his king tonight
    He had marched for politicians
    Served under their command
    And he fought for all the causes that he did not understand
    But it was something deep inside him now
    That led him on his way
    With a single star to guide him to where the baby lay
    Some are born to greatness, some are born to fall
    Some are bound to be forgotten like they never lived at all
    But we're all born to know him and stand before his light
    Like the soldier who found his king tonight
    He stood before the son of God, come to pay our debt
    He smiled up at the soldier that the world would soon forget
    So he held out his medal and said this for you I bring
    There he swore allegiance to the new baby King
    Some are born to greatness, some are born to fall
    Some are bound to be forgotten like they never lived at all
    But we're all born to know him and stand before his light
    Like the soldier who found his king tonight
    Like the soldier who found his king tonight
