I'll be home for Christmas by the lovely Josh Groban. Silver Bells is a favourite too.

Thanks DaisyG for getting me to look up Josh Groban on YouTube - I particularly loved 'You Raise Me Up' http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=6VqRlO3wa1A (sob, sob) and on the strength of his 'Silent Night' on Oprah http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=bJKvIeb0FoU I've requested all of JG's CD's for christmas!

The Dean martin song - "Baby it's Cold Outside" - only discovered this when watching the film Elf (they sing it when the girl is having a shower)
Love the song but don't like the Tom Jones version.

Ricardo Montalban did the original version with Esther Williams in the movie Neptune's Daughter (I think it won an academy award for best song as well) :cheesy:
