Each year, our Christmas songs become better-known and are performed by more and more artists, schools, choirs, churches and even the US Army band orchestra. They have won the UK songwriting Contest four times and been used by major TV networks during the festive season. An entire Florin Street musical is in development so watch this space! bit.ly/spoti-band
After struggling to gain record company support for his Victorian-themed idea, British singer-songwriter, Leigh Haggerwood, decided to make it happen himself by gathering together his musician friends and writing, producing and singing this Christmas song. The accompanying Christmas video was filmed at the fantastic Blists Hill Victorian Town at Ironbridge in Shropshire and it features the skills of top director Nick Bartleet and Cinematographer John Perez (known for his work on Coldplay's Viva La Vida, Beyoncé and many other productions). You can help spread some Christmas cheer by sharing this video - thanks for your support and best wishes for 2022!
My Favourite Time of Year
Words & music by Leigh Haggerwood
Verse 1
Lanterns lighting up the town,
Peace on earth is all around,
Everything is calm on Christmas Eve.
There's goodwill in the air tonight,
Angels sing by candle light,
Their voices carried on the wind.
When carol singers gather round,
When I hear that festive sound,
I wanna join with them and sing!
Chorus
They sing a merry song and we all sing along,
A festive melody that tells us Christmas time is here.
See the stars tonight; they're shining bright,
'Cause it's Christmas time and it's my favourite time of year.
Verse 2
Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Give me mistletoe; it's the season to be jolly,
Wrapping presents, writing cards, helping decorate the tree,
But there's one thing that makes it all for me.
When carol singers gather round,
Angel voices fill the town,
It's like the world is joining in!
(Noel, Noel, Noel)
Chorus
They sing a merry song and we all sing along,
A festive melody that tells us Christmas time is here.
See the stars tonight; they're shining bright,
'Cause it's Christmas time and it's my favourite time of year.
Middle 8
Christmas Eve,
Still believe,
So excited,
Can't sleep,
When the morning comes,
Church bells ring,
And he's been!
Chorus
They sing a merry song and we all sing along,
A festive melody that tells us Christmas time is here.
See the stars tonight; they're shining bright,
'Cause it's Christmas time and it's my favourite time of year.
And it's my favourite time of year
(Noel, Noel)

God bless you dear
I still can’t believe that this track never got picked up commercially, as I have this on my Christmas playlist every year & this is one of the best Christmas Songs to come out in the last 15 years. Shame on all those record labels & well done to The Florin Street Band.
Subscriu !
Totally agree, such a talented artist.
Totally agree , shame on the so-called public broadcastes
Very true 💯

Me right now 6/16/23 @ 10:58 PM. I love this song
This is one of the best Christmas songs I've ever heard. Now, Christmas is near again.! Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas, blessed with God's love.
listening to this beautiful song in late may 2021 anyone else? lol
I'm here...my go-to-make-me-happy song!
好开心2020年底的圣诞节看到这首美妙的歌,现在是2021年5月24日了,还用简体的中文留言哈哈太好啦。
Me too my friend! christmas rules all the year
This is the best Christmas song i have ever heard. I love everything the music the lyrics the vocal ..love this song
This song is on my Christmas playlist and I was showing my Parents it. They normally don't like 'modern day Christmas songs' but they absolutely loved this one and I don't blame them. This was the first song they put on and on December 26th - 28th, we have a buffet and they played this song first each day. No one got tired of it. (October 16th)
As for me, Since I heard it the first time few years ago; I always play this song whenever I feel like listening to good songs. In fact, I play it even when it’s not yet a Christmas season also 😅. It really lifts up my spirits.
@@LanaBK8530 Don’t blame you
@@LanaBK8530this is so me
Who else listens to Christmas songs in summer? It's May 26th now and I can't wait for the holidays to come! Greetings from Greece💙🤍
me too, its really motivating! greetings from scotland
Peace, joy, happiness, all the best thoughts and feelings - Who stops listening to Christmas songs?
Christmas is coming....... May joy fill your home. 🙏😀😊
I'm back. It wouldn't be Christmas if I didn't listen to this song ten or more times this season. It stirred me the first time I heard it, and it still does. Brilliant, work of art. My friends of other ethnicity love it for what it represents. Anyone who criticizes this kind of music or the message it sends is heartless. It's not all about religion -- it's about brotherhood, friendship, burying the ax, forgiveness, celebration and who can't understand that simple concept? I'll be back next year and many years after -- this is uplifting, optimistic music and should be heard by many millions more even if they are not Christian. It's just people being human again and florinstreet and Leigh Haggerwood has given listeners a gift. Over 2 million listens -- remarkable.

@johnlastrada..... Could'nt have said it any better 👍🏻🎶🎶
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. I LISTEN TO XMAS MUSIC THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. BUT THIS SONG IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE XMAS SONGS! FLORINSTREET BAND CREATES BEAUTIFUL MUSIC THAT UPLIFTS YOUR SPIRIT. TQ FOR A LOVELY YOUR COMMENT. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!
Well said 👍
Again I am here, since I become christian , always my favorite, ❤❤❤🎉 , Jesus bless you all, 🙏 it's my favorite time of year .......
This song makes me sad because it memorizes my kid time.😢 My favourite song.❤
Samee
Absolutely beautiful! I'm actually siting here with tears in my eyes! How ridiculous is that? The music, the song itself, the video, the props and costumes, perfection. It brought back so many memories of my childhood from days long gone by. My Dad believed that us kids couldn't appreciate the tractors on the farm unless we knew what it was like to have to use the horses first as he and my grandfather had done before me. We had eight draft horses and two saddle horses along with as many as 400 head of cattle at times. The grandparents place still used the wood stove in the kitchen to cook and two huge double firebox pot belly wood stoves to heat the house in the winter when I was growing up. We used the kerosene lanterns for light in the barn and about the land. To this day I still use the old kerosene lamps and the wood stove in my home, not just for winter heat and emergency lights, but for the atmosphere at Christmas. You have no idea how this warmed my heart and I'm looking forward to not only seeing and hearing more, but also seeing this one become a Christmas classic for generations to come. You truly have a gift. God bless and a very merry Christmas to you and yours. John Campbell Weldon, California, U.S.A.
Oh my God, John , echo those sentiments so much - this is a fantastic masterpiece of Christmas music. You have a great Christmas!
This has become my favorite Christmas song. I don't know why this song isn't played everywhere.
It's a great Christmas song!
Yes the same Thing i thought it is beutiful if everyone Post it in instragram and Facebook then it will be more publik i have it now on spotify
I come here each Christmas to hear this song. It is one of my all time favorites and I am here on earth for my 60th Christmas. Merry Christmas to everyone and a Happy 2024.
2023 anyone listen?❤
2021 and I'm getting ready with this song for Christmas.....😍😊👍

Halloween hasn't come and I'm already getting into the Christmas ambiance

This song needs to be played on every station throughout this country this year. The United States needs to here this song every day on radio stations here.
I agree, what a wonderful song.

Christmas is the most perfect time of the year, I want to walk in your street right now.🎉❤ Thank you Lord,🙏🙏🙏

OCT 22, 2023 STILL HERE!!!, Love this song.
Can’t understand why this hasn’t been a massive hit it should be up there with all the classic Christmas songs 🎄👍
I know right this so is so good I love it
Thanks Kevin! Sadly no support from national radio when it was released, mainly because we were unknown artists and X Factor ruled the airwaves at the time. It seems to get more popular each year though, so maybe one day it'll be better-known. I hope you have a good Christmas 😊
Hi Thanks for your reply I’m nobody but I will text email and whatever as much as I can to radio stations to try to get them to play it it’s such a beautiful song I first heard it about 6 years ago and it’s part of our Christmas ever since wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and it’s my Favourite Time of year too
Well said, classic song up there with the best 👍🎄
@@kevinmarsham3500 I too push this to as many as possble it needs to be a Christmas number 1.
Time to start playing Christmas songs for this year ❤️here again 💃💃 God bless
It is the BEST Christmas SONG that I have never heard for more than half a century of mine, It is a Blessing, it transports you to the essence of Christmas, of Life and love of God, CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL, one vibrates listening to it and watching the video💖🎁
Hello, firstly I am from India and not a Christian, but this time has so many wondaful memories and your song is a part of it since the start. Every year I listen to this song, I respect all gods and religion. With much love and peace, god bless s all and thank you :)
*This reminds me when I was little,* back in my country (The Dominican Republic). When my entire neighborhood would be outside on the streets, just enjoying this special time of the year. - *[Memories, that I will never forget].*
We celebrated Christmas in your former country while we were in Punta Cana. It's our favorite place to vacation in December to get out of the cold weather. The people of your country are WONDERFUL!!!!!
I am listening in the United States and boy do we need Christmas. I need Christmas. My favorite song. Thank you for the blessing of this song.
My go to Christmas song, all year round, whether I'm shuffling the music on my i-Pod or playing Christmas genre, when this song comes up, I _never_ skip it. It always lifts me up and fills my heart with magic, wonder and joy. Thank you for having the determination to pursue your dream to share this with us!
That's nice to hear, thanks for posting this 😊

I have a Christmas wish, let's all be happy in these troubled times. Let's be there for eachother & remember our homeless people on the streets too. If each person can help even just one homeless person, you will have made a difference to someone's life. Everyone deserves to be happy. It's not good being on the streets, it's hard & cruel. It's far from what the media would have you belive. It's mothers, fathers, children, familys, ex servicemen/servicewomen, disabled, elderly, they are all vulnerable & in need of your help. Please help them in any way you can. Joy to the the world. Thank you
my eight year old son loves this song very much. whenever he hears it, he’d stop what he’s doing and sing along.
Hi
Christmas in July!!!
Cant wait for Christmas, every day listen this song So exited 🥰🤗😇
Joy to world, a king has been born ! Here's wishing you and your families peace and prosperity this christmas! May Lord send you His abundant blessing! May you have a Merry Christmas and a Gratifying New Year!
Merry x-mas 2020 & happy new year 2021 Son of our God Jesus Christ bless us all around the world
