It's the most wonderful time of the year

While I'm working on my home made Christmas card post, I thought I'd fill in some time by starting to list some of my favourite ever Christmas songs!

Music has always been a big part of my life, and I have wonderful memories of my parents taking me to Carols by Candlelight every Christmas, and Mum playing her wonderful Christmas music (my Mum has dozens of Christmas Cd's - in fact, I filled an iPod with them)!

I'll keep adding to this list as I scroll through my iPod and Cd's, but here's my top 30 to start:

P.S. Christmas in New Zealand is during the Summer, so I do have a soft spot for 'wintery' Christmas songs - which I'm sure you'll notice!
