After one of the longest Autumns many of us could remember, suddenly it was the cold 6th-8th December long weekend, known here as “The Bridge”. And, before you know it, we will be eating turkey and shellfish and christmas pudding , raising a toast to the New Year and singing AULD LANG SANG as we wave goodbye to 2014 and welcome in 2015.

We thought you might like this list of well- known Christmas songs and carols as, with the aid of You Tube etc, you can download your favourites, sing along while you listen and learn new ones for next year. You can see videos of all types of Christmas music and musicians,hear the songs of your choice in different languages and watch how other cultures celebrate the season too. All the family can enjoy these moments together.

And don’t forget to read the Christmas story, “T´was the night before Christmas”, to your children and lose yourself in the magic of the fantasy that lasted through our early years.We know we are stopping time for a moment. But, sometimes this is necessary.

And finally for those of you who shy away from all the Christmas tinsel and hassle, have a good break, enjoy the peace and the winter scenery, share moments of fun and relax.

Have a good festive season and all the best in 2015.

Who is already writing that new year´s resolution list?

SONGS

The Christmas Song (Chestnuts…)                          Deck the halls

Do you hear what I hear                                             Frosty the snowman

Have  yourself a Merry little Christmas                                 I´ll be home for Christmas

Jingle bells                                                                        Jingle Bell Rock

Let it  snow                                                                       O Christmas Tree

Rocking around the Christmas tree.                       Santa Claus is coming to town

The twelve days of Christmas-There is a mocking Irish version too!

Silver Bells                                                                         We wish you a merry Christmas

White Christmas                                                             Winter Wonderland

I saw mammy kissing Santa Claus                            All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth

All I want for Christmas is you                                   Blue Christmas

Here comes Santa Claus                                              I wish it could be Christmas every day

Last Christmas

 

CAROLS

Away in a manger                                          Silent night

The first noel                                                    Hark the Herald Angels Sing

It came upon a midnight clear                   Joy to the world

Little drummer boy                                       O come all yea faithful

O Holy Night                                                    What child is this

O little town of Bethlehem                        We three Kings

Go tell it on the mountain                          Angels we have heard on high

Long time ago in Bethlehem                      Come, come, come to the manger

Ding Dong Merrily on high                            In the bleak mid winter

Once in Royal David´s City                           The Coventry Carol

The holy and the ivy

While shepherds watched their flocks by night

 

 

Remember for the 31 st of December  AULD LANG SANG and watch on You Tube how it is sung in a circle of friends.
