Thanks for all the suggestions! At the moment I'm torn between Christmas Eve 1914 and Fairy Tale of New York but I also love First Christmas and In the Bleak Midwinter. My brain won't cope with more than one - unless I take a leaf from my daughters book. When she was two and a half she learned Away in a Manger and when Christmas was over she realised how much effort had been expended so she sang the song regularly throughout the next year, usually when sitting in the pushchair, bored while we were queuing for something!
