Orana Orana (The Carol Of The Birds) its an australian one!
Out on the plains the brolgas are dancing
Lifting their feet like war horses prancing
Up to the sun the woodlarks go winging
Faint in the dawn light echoes their singing
Orana! Orana! Orana to Christmas Day
Down where the tree ferns grow by the river
There where the waters sparkle and quiver
Deep in the gullies bell-birds are chiming
Softly and sweetly their lyric notes rhyming
Orana! Orana! Orana to Christmas Day
Friar birds sip the nectar of flowers
Currawongs chant in the wattle tree bowers
In the blue ranges lorikeets calling
Carols of bushbirds rising and falling
Orana! Orana! Orana to Christmas Day

I love O Holy Night, & Silent Night but also What Child is This (its to the tune of greensleeves)
I just hate it when they are too high to sing! Its not as enjoyable when I have to get my opera on

this just reminded me of MIL - I rarely go to church but went to the family service the other week when DH was playing and MIL sang sooo out of key that I couldn't help but giggle - especially the high notes.... not that I am any better

Oh Come All Ye Faithful - I absolutely LOVE belting out the second soprano harmony when I'm pushing my trolley in the supermarket and I hear it over the music system!

Little Drummer boy...the first time i hear it for the year it gives me goose bumps
I love the Australian versions of Christmas songs, like Jingle Bells. I love Six White Boomers as well.
My other favourites are Jingle Bell Rock, War is over, and Away in a Manger.
I love love love Santa Baby but am also loving 12 days of Christmas (Aussie version) but can't find the version master J sang at his daycare christmas party! i know there was 1 kokkaburra in a gum tree, and 5 kangaroos but can't remember the rest!

I love this one that my kids learnt at nursery
Hee-haw, hee-haw
does anybody care
There's a baby in my dinner
and its just not fair
Jesus in the manger
lying in the hay
far too young to realise
he's getting in the way
I don't blame the baby
not his fault at all
but his parents really should respect
a donkey's feeding stall
After all that journey
with my heavy load
did I ever once conplain
about that dreadful road
I can cope with the backache
and these swollen feet
all I ask is some respect
and one square meal to eat
"Be prepared", I told them
better book ahead
Joseph said "Don't be an ass"
and took a chance instead
Now they've pinched my bedroom
people are so rude
I can cope with that but not
a baby in my food

Australian Christmas Carol
The North Wind is tossing the leaves,
The red dust is over the town,
The sparrows are under the eaves,
And the grass in the paddock is brown;
As we lift up our voices and sing
To the Christ-Child the Heavenly King.
The tree-ferns in green gullies sway;
The cool stream flows silently by;
The joy bells are greeting the day,
And the chimes are adrift in the sky,
As we lift up our voices and sing
To the Christ-Child the Heavenly King.

O Holy Night for the traditional one and carol of the bells, or all I want for Christmas is you for non traditional.

Same! They are beautiful songs.
I have to say I love Away in a Manger as well.
