Re: The nice Christmas music thread
I wanted to post Cowboy Christmas by Connie Kaldor, but it isn't on youtube, so here's a lesser offering. I went to high-school with her.

While it's not terribly Christmasy, it's my mate's band new song. He's the peado looking bloke at the back.

Re: The nice Christmas music thread
I think Christmas music some of the best ever written, including classical. I particularly like the singing of Karen Carpenter, IMO, one of the best female pop singers/voices of the 20th.Century. I’ve liked her ever since I first heard her and was devastated when I learned of her demise in 1983. |

Re: The nice Christmas music thread
I'm really looking forward to the all the Christmas TV programmes. Christmas day, in our house is not complete without watching Michael McIntyre's big Christmas Show on Christmas day. Boxing Day we're all terribly hungover so we play a version of Scrabble only using Schopenhauer quotes, so not quite as jolly. :(

I just wanted to put it out there that it doesn't matter where you are in the world, whether you're in darkest Peru, deepest Africa, the Gobi desert, one of the plethora of Sunshine coasts around the world or the UK, everybody is welcome to share their Christmas or any other religious or secular holiday stories and traditions on this thread.
I grew up in Sydney, Australia in a harbourside suburb. This meant going swimming at the local harbour pool on Christmas morning, which often coincided with king tide time, which added to the fun. Our Christmas dinner was mostly a traditional one - my grandfather was a stickler for a "proper" Christmas dinner, and in the olden days most Australian homes did not have airconditioning. This meant my mother, grandmother and aunts expired in the kitchen preparing a hot roast dinner! The menu was a cold starter - usually cooked prawns and oysters, then cold ham, hot roast pork and hot roast turkey, roast potatoes and other vegetables, followed by plum pudding and trifle and finished off with nuts, chocolates and my aunt's wonderful shortbread. Grandpa would play the piano for us, and then he'd nod off to sleep in an armchair. My own Christmas traditions still largely follow what I learned as a child. When I lived in London I cooked goose as that was not something we had in Australia as a child. Even in 40 degree heat, Christmas isn't Christmas without a proper Christmas dinner. This year marks our first Christmas in Vancouver. There will be smoked salmon with brown bread and butter to start, followed by roast pork and roast turkey with roast potatoes, my Mum's recipe for citrus butter roasted sweet potatoes, brussels sprouts, stuffing, turkey gravy and pork gravy, and plum pudding and sticky date pudding (for members of the Canadian side of the family who've confessed to not being hugely fond of plum pudding). Happy Christmas to all! |

Apologies if this has already been posted. In fact, apologies even if it hasn’t. My daughter sings this. It is one of an increasing list of things I blame Canada for. |

Check it out at 2:35, Gayla at age 73: https://britishexpats.com/forum/maple-leaf-98/nice-christmas-music-thread-928965/page2/#post127573 One reason I don't recall hearing that when I was a kid was probably because this was being played over and over on the radio. I think until Mariah Carey's belated hit this year, it was the last Christmas song to make #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 list. I'm almost sure my sisters got hula hoops around the same time. |
