to ask you to collate a Christmas songs playlist?

[InTheNameOfAllThatIsHonest]

I would like a playlist to play really loud when we put our Christmas decorations up next month. So I thought, what better place to ask then MN? What are your favourite Xmas songs? I need ideas to create a playlist - thank you all!

I usually hate Bob Dylan with a vengeance but absolutely love his song - Must Be Santa - a real rollicking singalong (I know! This isn't usually a feature of Bob Dylan songs!)

Susan Boyle and Elvis.
Gives me goosebumps hearing him.

Fairytale of New York.

Obviously.

probably be slated for this but what about the good old popular ones like step into Christmas; Rocking Around The Christmas Tree etc guaranteed to get a sing-along and dance too! oh and don't forget Fairytale of New York

Love Suzi snowflake and the dolly parton one. I just can't remember what it's called. Ffs.

Merry Xmas Everybody is essential.

Elton John Step in Christmas
John Lennon Happy Xmas
Destiny's child 8 days of Christmas

Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses

Hard candy Christmas! I remembered. Well, I looked it up on Spotify....

Chris Rea - Driving Home for Christmas

Darlene Love - All Alone on Christmas

Absolute favourites! 🎄

Warm This Winter.

Underrated.

If you are a classy person ghen Annie Lennox cornucopia is amazing.

Me? I mix them all up with a load of slade and mariah clary classics. I bloody love marys boy child by boney M.

Ooh forgot to add for xmas tree decoration i like the kelly clarkson song underneath the tree.

I love the Kelly Clarkson one!

And Aretha Franklin's version of Joy to the World. Its a proper bop!

Christmas Lights by Coldplay
When the Thames Froze by bloke from Editors
River by Joni Mitchell
Alien for Christmas by (I think) Weezer

Hey Mister Christmas by Showaddywaddy. It's one of those Christmas songs that's been neglected since it first appeared in 1974.

If you can cope with funny looks and being struck off several Christmas card lists, have Another Rock n Roll Christmas by (whispers) Gary Glitter. The song isn't t half bad, even though we all know GG is a shit.

Mary's Boy Child by Boney M.

I Believe In Father Christmas by Greg Lake. The Troika bit with the choir at the end of the song calls for substantial volume!

Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire by Nat King Cole - one for quiet reflection.

I was born on Christmas Day: Saint Ettiene and Tim Burgess

River by Joni Mitchell
Just Like Christmas by Low
I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas by Kacey Musgraves (she has a great Christmas album)

My favourites
:
Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses
Driving Home for Christmas by Chris Rea

Low's Christmas album is great if a bit melancholy.

Don't Let the Bells End is brilliant.

And I Hear The Bells is great and underplayed.

All I want for Christmas by Mariah Carey
Happy Christmas (War is Over) by John Lennon
Thank God it's Christmas by Queen

The Wombles "we wish you a wombling merry Christmas" and Feliz Navidad

I mentioned these on another thread but:
Carol of the Bells
In the Bleak Midwinter
Run run Rudolf by Motorhead
Also
Christmas lullaby by The Pogues
Morningtown Ride by The Seekers
Jingle Bells by Skid Row
Feels like Christmas from Muppets Christmas Carol

Lots of the ones already mentioned (Merry Xmas Everybody -Slade, I wish it could be Christmas every day - Wizzard,, Lonely this Christmas - Mud )
But also 1 more sleep Leona Lewis, Jingle Bell Rock (not sure who by) and Santa Claus is comin to town - Bruce Springsteen.

Jona Lewie - Stop the Cavalry
Cyndi Lauper - Early Christmas Morning
Cocteau Twins - Frosty the Snowman
