Just that really.

Is it a love it or hate it song?

It’s in my top 5. It was my late mums favourite though.
I do love shakin stevens too though! 😂

catgirl1976 · 08/12/2024 17:45

It is my favourite.

Second favourite is Tori Amos covering “have yourself a merry little Christmas” which is well worth looking up on you tube if you want to hear something beautiful

SaltLampFeelsDamp · 08/12/2024 17:44

I used to really like it, but I’ve heard it too much now and I never want to hear it ever again.

Pickingmyselfup · 08/12/2024 17:44

No, my favourite is Step into Christmas by Elton John.

I like all of the others but this for some reason is my favourite.

KierSnollygoster · 08/12/2024 17:43

It is the best Christmas song ever.

TigerRag · 08/12/2024 17:43

Don't like it either. Much prefer All I want for Christmas is a Dukla Prague Away Kit - Half Man Half Biscuit

x2boys · 08/12/2024 17:43

Love it .

Awrite · 08/12/2024 17:42

Yes, love it.

Skakin' too.

Treeof · 08/12/2024 17:42

Yes. That opening gives me chills before any singing starts.

Riddledwithguilt · 08/12/2024 17:42

Love it

MasterBeth · 08/12/2024 17:42

Good grief, there are a gazillion Christmas songs. Shakin' Stevens?!!

Fairytale of New York is a good Christmas record, but my favourite Christmas song is I'll Be Home for Christmas.

WaitingforStrike · 08/12/2024 17:42

No, I turn it off usually.

Floralnomad · 08/12/2024 17:41

Not my favourite but would be in the top 20 Christmas songs for me .

Zonder · 08/12/2024 17:41

Love it. Not sure how the voting works though. I guess YANBU because I love it too?

MounjaroUser · 08/12/2024 17:41

It's definitely my favourite. I absolutely love it.

VeterinaryCareAssistant · 08/12/2024 17:40

Love it, but it's not my favourite.

I prefer the Shakin' Stevens one.

I don’t hate it, but it’s not my favourite (that place goes to Shaky!)
