Christmas Morning music

So when I was a young'un on Christmas morning we'd play musics while we did all our cute family stuff, opening prezzies, having grub etc. Normally something like Mike Oldfield that sounds a bit christmassy but isn't fucking Slade on loop forever, e.g.

Now I'm a big grownup with a house and two cats I kinda wanted to start doing something similar and want some ideas

Wut u listen 2 on christmas day? Serious & lol answers appreciated

I like this kind of stuff:

And of course all of the "a very watmm Christmas" compilations.

I don't listen to christmas songs at christmas, unless it's on somewhere where the music is out of my control (usually Fairytale of New York a million times), most christmas songs are just awful. I like this one by The Waitresses though:

John Fahey did an album of christmas song actually, might stick that on, but I usually put some relaxed jazz or something on for dinner.

You could go for something even more medieval sounding, not explicitly christmassy, but fits the mood:

this is a really wonderful album.

This on repeat for hours and hours and hours

The IDM version

I once made a Christmas for a coffee shop. It's full old soul and blues Christmas tunes. If anyone wants it send me a pm.

It's a pretty good playlist.

charlie brown xmas, burl ives xmas, bing crosby xmas

I like old school catholic gregorian chants for that medieval chrimbo mood

Quality playlist here:

I like dub reggae on Christmas day for some reason

Is it on spotify? If so send it this way please.

Nat King Cole is the only choice, I'm gonna check out that Redbourn album too.

+1 to john fahey, great recommendation

that renbourn album is really nice too, thanks for that

for some reason i usually go back to julian koster's singing saw at christmastime, probably because a) it's heartfelt but creepy in its own way, and b) i know and like to play a lot of these songs on the saw, so it's fun to hear their take

oh, and this album is a yearly requirement at my house:

owt by Frank Sinatra if my folks do their usual routine

on a more idm note. for a while in my late teens/early twenties i had tradition of listening to mookid and alberto balsalm every xmas morning. then one year i just forgot
