Today's song comes from my favourite Christmas album from when I was growing up.

I used to end the night in bed listening to this cassette tape and I wouldn't go to sleep till this song came on.

Today's song takes me back to my childhood, being at my nannan's and listening to this album on cassette tape. When I say I love the older Christmas songs, this is what I mean.

Today's song is The Andrews Sisters' 'The Christmas Tree Angel'.

Today's song normally makes it's appearance on Christmas eve but this year, I'm mixing it up and it's appearing a day earlier.

I remember when I was younger, I wouldn't go to sleep until this song had played. This song also appears on one of my favourite Christmas albums, an album that will forever bring back many memories that I cherish with my Nannan Connie.

I was pretty busy yesterday that I never got round to doing December 23rd's post but guess what it's now CHRISTMAS EVE!! Today's song is a song that along with 12 Day of Christmas is my favourite Christmas song. Every Christmas Eve night when I was growing up I'd play this while trying to fall to sleep, which to this day I still have trouble with.

Happy Christmas Eve everyone, I hope Santa brings you lots of amazing gifts and have an amazing time with your friends and families.

It's time for another song from my favourite Christmas album from the Andrews Sisters and this one is with Bing Crosby. You can't deny that the best Christmas songs are the oldies, all the old classics get me into the festive mood and I for one play them when I'm wrapping presents and doing my Christmas baking.

For today's Christmas Countdown I thought I'd pick a song that I grew up listening to every year. One album I used to love listening to was a Christmas album by The Andrews Sisters that belonged to my Nan nan, it wasn't till last year when I found it on CD on Amazon that I was able to listen to it and enjoy it again. I normally prefer the older style of Christmas songs, as they make me feel more festive and really bring out my Christmas spirit.

So we're into the final days of my very own Christmas day countdown advent calendar, not only are we getting closer to Christmas but we're also getting closer to a brand new year.

I'm going to take you back now to one of the tapes I used to listen to growing up and one of the many songs I loved on the album (I love each and every track really).

'Sleigh bells ring are you listening, in the lane snow is glistening, a beautiful sight we're happy tonight, walking in a winter wonderland'

Can you believe it we've hit the half way mark, in just 12 days I'll be relaxing with my parents, Skye and Andrew watching movies and drinking hot chocolate that Santa dropped off for us, and then it's time to set out all the baked goods and milk for him to treat himself for his good hard-work.

As it's the 12th I thought this song would fit in perfectly for today, this has to be one of my favourite Christmas songs and I haven't found any version better than this one so press play, turn the volume up, sing a long and enjoy.

'On the 1st day of Christmas my true love gave to me, a partridge in a pear tree'

I've decided that as I don't have an advent calendar this year I would do something different and each day share a Christmas song with you all, these songs were vary from English to Korean and possibly Chinese and because we're already onto December 3rd I'm going to start with the tracks I picked for the 1st to today's track, hope you like them and they get you into the spirit of Christmas.

December 1st

I chose this song for the 1st simply for fact that to me it sounds like a song to start the Christmas season off with.

'Christmas is finally here'

One of my fondest memories growing up was listening to a cassette tape my nan gave me with all the songs sung by The Andrews Sisters, I can finally relive those moments as I now have the album on CD.

'Come on and dance the Merry Christmas Polka'

Normally for me the Christmas songs that tend to make me feel all festive and Christmassy tend to be the classic Christmas songs but today the Sone within me bowed to the sub-unit of my favourite South Korean girl group Girls Generation-TTS. The song for today's advent window if you will is a BRAND NEW song and video released TODAY for TTS' comeback and this song for me is up there with the classics as the saying goes this one hit the nail on the head.

'Santa he won't let me, Santa he won't let me, Santa he won't let me down~'
