I’m going to presume we can all agree Fairytale Of New York is the finest Christmas song ever written…
But other than that, what’s your favourite Christmas song? I love a bit of Stop The Cavalry, which interestingly wasn’t intended to be a Christmas song. Does that mean I’m cheating? Doesn’t matter it’s my question and I can answer as I see fit. Merry Christmas Hibbys[emoji172][emoji318]

Driving Home for Christmas brings back great memories of driving home to Liverpool on Christmas Eve for 20 odd years before I lost my parents.Always had it on several times during the journey.
Merry Xmas Everybody is number 1 for me. Brenda Lee singing like a 50 year old at age 13 is tremendous too.Quote:

Big fan of Merry Xmas Everybody as well, specifically the Oasis cover. Outstanding.Quote:

Xmas Curtain by My Morning Jacket. But obviously it's not a traditional Christmas song.
Last Christmas is probably the one you never really get fed up with. Most of them I don't ever want to hear again.
I can’t disagree with this more, Last Christmas is absolutely honking! Whamageddon exists as a game for a reason[emoji16]Quote:

I do quite like the George Michael one December Song - doesn’t get much airplay mind you.
You know who I’ve barely heard on the radio this year? Cliff Richard. Wonder if his Xmas tunes are being phased out.
I always put the crooners doing Christmas on. ‘The Christmas Song’ by Nat King Cole is superb.
‘I Was Born on Christmas Day’ by St Etienne is a great alternative.
For a Carol, has to be ‘Hark the Herald Angels Sing’.
‘Mistletoe and Wine’ was played on Radio Scotland this afternoon.Quote:

There is a great Frasier episode where Martin is rehearsing 'Oh Holy Night'. He visits the church a lot and everyone thinks he's dieing. And he cannot hit the high note for love nor money.
Anyway, on the back of that I heard Mariah Carey singing the same song. She hits the high notes just fine!
Never a big fan of hers and it isn't even her big Xmas song. I love it though.
Leona Lewis, cant remember the song title but its about Christmas 😀
All I want for Christmas is You. Mariah Carey
Probably be #1 again and again and again
I wish it could be Christmas everyday by Wizzard for me, second to The Pogues ofcourse.
Fairy tale of New York ..
Dean Martin .. let it snow , let it snow .
Crosby and Bowie .. The little drummer boy / peace on earth.
Merry Christmas everyone.
Seether - No Jesus Christ
Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus
Scott Stapp - Jesus Was A Rockstar
The Longpigs - Jesus Christ
It's Christmas So We'll Stop - Frightened Rabbit.
Beautifully dark Xmas tune.
I Believe In Farher Christmas - Greg Lake is my favourite.
A Spaceman Came Travelling is up there with my favourites but Fairytale of New York is the winner for me.
Fav Christmas album is Frank Sinatras.
Kelly Clarkson - Underneath The Tree
Streets ahead of Mariah Carey's screeching in the pop divas category.
I used to be a real bah humbug barsteward about Christmas until total apathy took over. So I loved Kevin Bloody Wilson's "Hey Santa Claus" for its pure offensiveness. The only Christmas song I really like is Fairytale of New York and after hearing it played everywhere constantly (especially the muzak versions played in supermarkets and shops) I am usually sick of that by the time the 25th comes around.
Away in a Manger sung by kids. Gets me every time.
Aye right. No crisps or a bed. Idiots.Quote:
