Stop the Hate
BelAir:
I heard a Christmas song on the radio the other day... I've been trying to find it on the web with no luck. Unfortunately, all I can remember is the word "viva" featured prominently in the song, and the song was sort of lyrical (like Happy Christmas and Do They Know It's Christmas)... can y'all help?

I just remembered a few Christmas songs we sang in French classes at school.
The first one, "Petit Papa Noel", is a real classic.

From the other videos I watched, I'd say this is Tino Rossi singing.
Lhuthiel:
"Il est né le divin enfant"

I think this is the first French Christmas song I learned.
The quality of this recording is not very good (voices standing out, background noises etc.), but I really liked the arrangement.
Lhuthiel:
"Les anges dans nos campagnes" :D
I think, this might be my all-time favourite Christmas song. My mother used to sing this song a lot with my brother and me when we were younger. We could only sing the chorus, not the French parts, but my brother and I loved it.
Again, the recording is not the best and there are some notes (tones?) askew, but for so many young boys it's very good, I think. Also, I was really impressed by some of the voices.

I learned that in French class, but it was the second one. First was "Un flambeau, Jeannette Isabel." :)
P.S.: Thanks, Gary. I love Burl Ives as Sam the Snowman singing "Holly, Jolly Christmas." A very happy childhood memory! :D
