A few of my favourite Christmas songs. Which seems to veer towards the more unconventional. Apart from O helga natt (Oh Holy Night) with the incomparable Jussi Björling. I love that version.



Dejlig er jorden I think this is called Beautiful Savior in English, but the lyrics to this Danish (and also in Swedish) begins with “Beautiful is Earth/Beautiful is God’s heaven”













Det är inte snön som faller (It’s Not Snow Which Is Falling) is definitely on the ironic end of the scale. Warning for cartoon nudity.





The last song is really a Swedish Christmas song from the early 20th century, and the lyrics are very perky. However, the way Thåström sings it makes it drip with satire. Vit Jul means “White Christmas”.
