Until t'internet can deliver chocolate via the ether, here's an alternative countdown calendar. Every day of Advent, one person posts a link to an mp3 or video of a favourite seasonal song. It can be as subtle and stylish - or tacky and daft as you like! santa

Kicking you off for today, with a gentle lead-in to tinselitis:

I'm sure there are loads of Xmas songs we could fill an advent calendar with. Sorry if this is an obvious choice, but reminds me of great times as a youngster at my grans with all the family
(Also sorry if this was one a day... if thats the case just pretend its for tomorrow (the 5th)

That's one of my favourites CB. There's nothing wrong with the obvious. Actually, I'm looking forward to Slade's offering. Has anyone heard that one before?

In memory of John Lennon, on the 29th anniversary of his passing:



MOD EDIT: Good call on the sentiments Chrissie, but Chrissy Boy beat you to it earlier in the thread. Do you fancy another go? What a Face

Not strictly a Christmas hit but this is one of my favourite sketches from their Christmas specials.

Aww - I loved their Christmas shows when I was a kid. I think my favourite was the Angela Rippon one. It was SHOCKING at the time, but it looks so tame now!

I think my favourites were Shirley Bassey singing Smoke gets In Your Eyes and the infamous Andrew Preview sketch.

my advent song is a classic and only just failed to maker a number one.

Whoops, sorry about the Lennon double-post folks...must have some low-grade Alzheimer's happening! Embarassed Although that info might be better off in the Grey Expectations thread... Laughing

EDIT: I added a holiday-flavored video over on the Tom Waits thread, as I think it might be better there than here. Kinda one that only the Waits fans among us might enjoy, methinks! Very Happy

Definitely. Some strange cosmic 'Chrissy/Chrissie' telepathy going on perhaps? Question

Some real crackers all the way through here, especially vintage M&W. *waggles specs* Way-hey!

Back to the present for this one:


]

Last Friday Doves played an acoustic Christmas Session for Absolute radio in the Chapel of The House of Charity (The House of St Barnabas-in-Soho)
One of the songs played was a cover of Low's 'Just like Christmas'
used for the trailer for the other sessions.

The House was one of the first hostels for the homeless in London. Whilst staying there, daily church attendance was expected - hence the little chapel, built in 1862.
More recently the Charity meets homeless and disadvantaged people's needs by also offering the rooms out for Corporate events and as a Wedding venue, the Chapel being used for music and poetry performances.
