Fave Christmas Song?

[Kurt.]

Jingle bells probably

 

[BlueLlama]

 

[Donald Twain]

This ruined christmas for me .

 

[The Cowboy]

I'm pretty much sick of all of them. There's only a catalogue of about 30 songs to choose from, and that catalogue has barely been added to in the past 15-20 years - The Darkness and Bo Selecta the only notable additions in the past 10 years - and so you end up hearing them all so often they become unbearable.

I think the best is either Mariah Carey or East 17 - both well made pop songs, and the latter actually makes no reference to Christmas at all, and is only festive due to the jingly bells, so doesn't feel too contrived.

 

[Lacina]

Stop the cavalry - Jona Lewie or The pogues feat Kirsty McColl - Fairytale of New York

Merry Xmas Everyone, just because its Slade, but more than likely Auld Lang Syne as it means its all over and done with

Oh boy, I think Auld Lang Syne might be my most hated song of all time. OF ALL TIME!

Fairy Tale of NY for me as well, but Cocteau Twins - Snow EP has these two gems:

 

[The Cowboy]

How could I forget the Phil Spector Christmas album? Pretty much every track is a solid Christmas winner.

Some friends of ours brought that round last Christmas day, it's brilliant innit?
