Thanks Brian, you're good with this Youtube stuff, can you dig out a copy of "White Christmas" when you get time please?

I like Fairytale of New York but I also love the old Phil Spector songs.

Mine used to be 'Christmas Wrapping' by The Waitresses (find that one please Brian!), now it's 'That'll be Christmas' by Thea Gilmore - "Faith Hope and Gluttony, that'll be Christmas"

Thanks for that Jan but my favourite is the cover version by the male voice choir of the BNP.
Not perfect musically but sung with great gusto.

'Stille Nacht' - the original version of Silent Night, sung in German. Happy memories of Christmases in Germany 1978-80.

After my last post, I did a quick You Tube search and found Enya singing Silent Night in Irish Gaelic - different and very moving. Here is the link:

Thanks Brian, I've got the music and the lyrics but seems there was never a video. It's a great rock arrangement whatever the time of year.
Jan, "That Christmas magic's brought this tale to a very happy ending"
