On New Year's Eve there is not too much choice but thankfully 'Auld Lang Syne' never outstays its welcome.

'What Are You Doing New Year's Eve' is one of the few songs that is dedicated to New Year's Eve. Surprising really given that it happens every year.

Here's a slightly different version of the song that most people on the planet know. It's our way of saying have a very special Christmas this year.

All it takes is a couple of seconds of this song before you picture yourself at the wheel in a santa hat anticipating a great few days back home.

You'll feel you're away in a manger once Ray Charles dulcet tones work their magic on 'The Spirit of Christmas'.

A quiet and unassuming cover from Zooey Deschanel (she) and M. Ward (him). Like them (She and Him).

'Merry Christmas Darling' was conceived in 1946, added to in 1966 but truly given godlike status in 1970 when Karen Carpenter worked her magic.

He was just a big softie when it came to Christmas you know. All the evidence can be heard on 'Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas'.

The main song from the biggest Christmas movie of all time 'Home Alone'.

An odd choice perhaps for a Christmas songs site with just a week to go to Christmas but listen to it and ask yourself do you feel the Christmas glow?

Enya marries the beauty of the Irish language with the heavenly calm of 'Silent Night'.

A sweet cut from Doris Day's 1964 Christmas album.

They got there plenty of decades before Peppa, Piggly and Babe and were just as adorable. Better singers too!

A gentle nudge of the traditional from a modern English folk artist.

A great acoustic version of the carol "In the bleak mid winter" with a verse added at the end by Sam called "If You Get Lonely This Christmas".
