Christmas songs

[Hijinks75]

The post about what would be your go to Christmas tv got me wondering what people’s favourite Christmas songs are, limited to top 3, for me, Slades Merry Xmas, The pogues, Fairytale of New York andWhite Christmas, Bing Crosby version

The Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping
The Darkness - Don't Let The Bells End
Elton John - Step Into Christmas (HAS to be the first song on any worthwhile Christmas playlist!)

I believe in Father Christmas - Greg Lake

Peace on Earth / Little Drummer Boy - David Bowie and Bing Crosby

Sleigh Ride - The Ronettes

I Believe in Father Christmas by Greg Lake
Mary's Boy Child by Boney M
Stop The Cavalry by Jona Lewie
The Christmas Song by Nat King Cole (chestnuts roasting etc)

I expect we shall hear a lot more than usual of The Pogues and Kirsty Macoll this year in view of Shane McGowan's passing. Might even be a number one - anything would be better than the hyped synthetic nonsense we've become used to in recent years.

I spent over a decade in retail so I tune out the famous ones that were on a constant loop but the ones that I'm not sick of are:

Mele kalimaka - KT Tunstall
I've got my love to keep me warm - ingrid Michaelson
Love is Christmas - Sarah Bareilles
Winter Wonderland - Newton Falkner & Nati
Have Yourself a merry little Christmas - Ella Fitzgerald
Christmas (Baby please come home) - Darlene Love
Christmas Wrapping - The Waitresses
Sleigh Ride - The Ronettes
