Can't seem to get in the mood for Xmas his year. Traditionally our Xmas tree goes up from Dec. 8th (Feast of the Immaculate Conception of Our Lady) until Jan 6th - The Epiphany.
Have just dusted off a few CD's -a couple of traditional carol collections (seems a bit early for them though) and Sting's If on a Winter's Night...not one of his greatest albums but i love the song Soul Cake -mainly because it features one of my favourite carols, God Rest you Merry Gentlemen...
The following version is live from Durham Cathedral 2009 - beautifully played and sung, it's a great folksy Christmas song...
Does anyone have any other songs they can suggest which help to get the in the mood for Christmas?
