I am getting into Christmas a bit early this year as I was late off the mark last year and it felt rushed.
This year I am getting super-christmassy and I will be smearing myself with mince pies and rolling around in tinsel wearing Rudolph reindeer boxer shorts
So to set the mood I am seeking out the finest Christmas carols available to humanity.
I have previously mostly listened to traditional carols and golden oldie Christmas hits but this year I am exploring more contemporary interpretations
To kick off I am getting into this chunky and funky version of the classic Little Drummer Boy (originally adapted into English from the Czech Carol of the Drum) from Pentatonix
They do a cool version of the epic Carol of the Bells
But I also like this version by Cimorelli
And a version from Libera
who also do a ripper version of the wonderful Walking in the Air
Ah fond memories of my days as a Catholic altar boy. The secret thrill of slipping into my little red dress and frilly white vestment and walking among the worshippers wafting the Christmas scented smoke from my thurible.
This was going to be the OP for the Christmas 2020 thread which I drafted early last week and was adding finishing touches to. I was battling my festive posting excitement in an attempt to wait until December 1st. But Noob90 has spoiled my best laid plans so I am making this a Christmas Carols thread instead.
Hey Noob having only joined up this month you have not accrued sufficient community credit to be starting 'The Christmas Thread' so please go and insert the wrong end of a large Norwegian fir tree in your festive farter with jingle bells attached.
