Yay for Kate Rusby! A long term fave of me and my Mum.

My recommendation is the song Drive the Cold Winter Away (aka All Hail to the Days), which has lyrics from Elizabethan times and an even older tune. Stick in the Wheel's version is my favourite.

Thank you! That's a lovely one ♥️

And there's only one way to begin - as we so often have - with Kate Rusby's "Sweet Bells". Recommended to me during a past virtual gathering it was a song many of us had never heard but came to love. /2

Pomplamoose make beautiful music (and sometimes funny songs too). Winter Wishes is a song to remind us we're cared about and thought well of, which might be a message we need to hear right now. /3

A familiar favourite for all you TNG fans. Let it snow? No. Make It So.

Children tell the Christmas Story with a little help from some grown up actors, and some rather unusual gifts from the Wise Men. I’m not convinced that’s a proper angel, either.

How do you sign Merry Christmas? Find out in 104 languages!
(I first shared this a few years ago and it was obviously memorable as several people asked me to share it again this year).

It's not long to Hanukkah and here's the Maccabeats with a BTS tribute from a few years ago - Candlelight.
