By the time she is five or six the songs from FROZEN will be in the Johnny Matthis category

Bitches Brew - Miles Davis

Ninth Symphony - Beethoven

Workingman's Blues - Bob Dylan


These are among the music that I will be playing - so that should qualify them as Christmas songs

Wasn't trying to ruin anything Billy , as there were only a couple of replies I was just trying to expand it to either get more replies or give those who had already given their top 3 (yourself included) a chance to expand it to see what xmas no 1's they would pick.

Don't think its a site for chit chat and fun now Statts its mostly advertising and informative rooms now.

Suppose it's down to the more "fun lovin'" of us to start and expand threads like this .......... perhaps some of the BOF's who only want to promote their sponsor threads/ruin competitors threads will get as sick and tired of seeing lots of general social threads as we are bored of seeing all their Backslapping/Backstabbing dross
PS Where was that you got those sausages?

what sausages Statts ?
