Favourite Christmas song? – Esme Peters

Favourite Christmas song? – Esme Peters

Christmas is hands down the best time of year. And with at the time of writing 29 days, 14 hours and 30 minutes until Christmas, the countdown has truly begun. To me a large part of this countdown is the music, not to be listened to until December 1st, but it puts you straight into the Christmassy mood and is the ultimate way to ramp up the excitement. But with so many good Christmas songs I find it has always been hard to pick a favourite, so I asked 10 members of the school (teachers and pupils) what they believed the best Christmas song of all time is… 

What is your favourite Christmas song?Alex Jackson

Band Aid (do they know its Christmas 1984)

It’s cringey I admit, but it’s a banger. Facts.

I’ve always loved Chrissy Hynde’s vocals

Jingle Bell Rock

What is your favourite Christmas song? – Amelia Potter 

Once in Royal David’s city

Why? 

Because I sang it awfully at my primary school Christmas advent school service, I had a solo – which I was given for reasons unknown. 

Personally it has got to be Fairytale of New York, I struggle to sing along but lines I can manage just make me feel a level of Christmas excitement not felt elsewhere. The 1st of December is less than a week away, so sort out your Christmas playlists now!!!!
