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?

Incidentally I heard Holly Johnson sing once, at Kirsty MacColl's memorial service in 2001, and he has a fine singing voice.

It's one of my favourite songs. But it's only the second best Christmas song, because the Pogues/Kirsty = better.

It is up there with Fairytale of New York. Although we have a soft spot for Dominic the Donkey in this house... jigged jig ee aw EE aw
