Best Christmas song is The Power of Love (Frankie)

[Justiceisblind]

because

• they sing about what love actually feels like (including what parental love feels like)
  

and

• we all sat frozen to our lumpy sofas in 1984 during top of the pops waiting anticipating a two-headed baby appearing because this was Frankie Goes to Hollywood - but instead they gave us a straight-down-the-line nativity play and it was much sweeter because it was from them
  

• it's just great
  

hopefully you all agree?

[IdaArnold]

100% agree.

I get where you are coming from but for me the best Christmas song (as opposed to hymn sung in church) is Fairytale of New York.

[dontlikebeards]

I spend every Christmas trying to choose between Frankie and The Pogues. Nothing else touches these.

[Justiceisblind]

I hear you Noss. Something eternal in that middle section.
I arranged and performed it last year in a church which was lovely. So it just needs a couple of fallow years in my brain

[Ereshkigalangcleg]

Yes, this is my favourite Christmas song.

[RenegadeMrs]

Its a fantastic song. OH wants it as our first dance song when we finally get married. However I wouldn't call it the best Christmas song ever as its only a Christmas song by association. There isn't anything explicitly christmassy in it.

[OrigamiOwl]

Noooooo! It's not even Christmasy! The song has no reference to Christmas, they just stuck a nativity scene on the cover.

[grafittiartist]

After Mariah-yep I agree.
Beautiful song!

[Chickenwing]

Merry Xmas Everybody by Slade is my favourite.

[DrDavidBanner]

It always brings a tear to my eye. Its such a powerful song and yes its about love in it's purest form.

[JessCat75]

I love that song but also Queen, Thank God It's Christmas and The Pogues of course

[TragedyHands]

Dear God, no. It's so miserable and crap.

[Figgygal]

It’s one of my favourite songs generally I listen to it all year round

When he says “I’m so in love with you, purge the soul” I fucking believe it with every ounce of my being - the delivery of that line is sublime

[beebbeep]

No
1 :all I want for Christmas is you
2 :merry Christmas everyone

[AliceMadHatter]

Love it.

[TildaTurnip]

It’s the song most skipped in our house. Great sentiment but so drearily delivered.

[Butterbeeeen]

You couldn't be more wrong OP. Mariah will always be the best Xmas song and I won't allow anyone to convince me otherwise

[peakygal]

1000000% agree 😂

[Biglumpycustard]

Merry Christmas everyone & last Christmas

[Tweacle]

I love it. But I would as it's our song so to speak. Met at xmas had our first snog to it. Had it at our Xmas wedding as first dance song too x

[Justiceisblind]

i believe it too figgy x

we didn't think he knew what love was.

[Justiceisblind]

"I do love Dominic the donkey and never do a tango with an eskimo too."

ah, what wonders await me.....

[StormBaby]

It’s probably one of my favourite songs of all time, not just Christmas. It’s beautiful

[foxyknoxy30]

Exceptional song
