Apologies if I have missed anyone. Let me know if you spot any omissions 😊

I’ve two more outstanding -

Crystal bits of snowflakes
All around my head and in the wind
I’ve no illusions
Clue - 🇯🇵

Well the weather is cruel
But the season of Yule
Warms the heart
But it still hurts

Clue - 🔔 🔔 🔔🔕🔕 (kind of!)

Sorry DB, forgot it's your birthday Christmas Eve!!! Hope Mr FB gives you something nice 🎁💕

Good guess Shiny

@midgebabe

They said there be snow at Christmas they said theeed be peace on earth

Male singer, possibly with letters J at start of name

Correct 👍 And yes Greg Lake, ClearingSpace 👌

Oh crumbs, FB not DB 🙄

While shepherds watch their flocks by night
They see a bright new shining star
They hear a choir sing a song
The music seems to come from afar

@Honeyroar

Flea that’s I believe in father Xmas (HATE IT!)

😂 I keep hearing it on the radio, sorry Honeyroar Nobody's posted my most hated Xmas tune yet

Honey will you STOP putting emojis on as clues. I have to enlarge them to have a hope of seeing what they even are.

That woman is a nightmare!

It’s a time for giving
A time for getting
A time for forgiving
And for forgetting
(80s)

There's still time, flea. Personally I generally hate all of them. Fairytale of New York excepted

Well I wouldn’t have to put clues if you could bloody guess them!

@Honeyroar

Flea that’s I believe in father Xmas (HATE IT!)

I used to quite like it until that line ‘be it heaven or hell, the Christmas we get we deserve’ started to really annoy me.

That’s exactly the line that makes me hate it!

Mistletoe and Wine Honeyroar

I got sent a REALLY funny video parody via WhatsApp which would have been perfect for putting on here for you guys. But I couldn't work out how to link it. 😞

Mary's Boy child

My dreams were full of strange ideas
My mind was set despite the fears
But other things got in the way
I never asked that boy to stay
(80s)

Yes to Mary’s boy child and Mistletoe and wine - although we need artists too!

I know that one! Can't think. I might not be entirely sober!

Boney m Cliff Richard

Friends and relations
Send salutations
Just as sure as the stars
Shine above (yes they do)
(90s?)

Crystal bits of snowflakes
All around my head and in the wind
I’ve no illusions
Japan - Merry Xmas Mr Laurence? Wild guess at song.

Words
Playing me like deja vu
Like a radio tune
I swear I’ve heard before
(90s)
