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!

Dominick the donkey
What Christmas means to me
Fairytale of New York
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Carol of the bell
A spaceman came travelling
The power of love
Oh holy night
In Dulci Dublio
Feliz navidad
Do they know it's Christmas
Merry Christmas everyone
Mistletoe and wine
Saviours day
Mary's boy child
Driving home for Christmas

Some old fashioned
White Christmas Bing Crosby

Christmas song (Chestnuts roasting on an open Fire) nat King Cole

A couple of carols from Kings/similar

Oh all of these and Last Christmas.

I have a soft spot for Robbie Williams' Bad Sharon as it makes me think of our office Christmas party. And it's cheesy and sing-a-long able.

Don’t let the Bells End by the Darkness is my favourite

What is the point of nominating the same old, same old Christmas songs that are on every Christmas album and every Christmas playlist?

Fairytale of New York and Stop the Cavalry? Really, I’d never thought of those…

Has anyone heard the Christmas songs by Mariah Carey, Slade or Wham?

A Snowflake Fell (And It Felt Like A Kiss) - Glasvegas

This open.spotify.com/track/2JGft1hrWuBdUkQnqUcgHg?si=_EUCCOIpTzSxCiWWBVczwQ&utm_source=copy-link

Play it at full volume - so cheery and almost circus-like.

The She and Him Christmas albums are firm favourites with us

What are yours then?

I'm also going to say Christmas Day by Dido and The Power of Love by Frankie goes to Hollywood. Not very jolly but great songs

Thank you @ShinyMe!
I love that song and had never seen that video.
That has made my day

Here's the first chunk of the playlist we have on repeat...

DSS and I put it together a few years ago. I taught him to waltz to Eartha Kitt and now everyone has to have a little spin around the kitchen the first time it plays

open.spotify.com/track/6HA6r647BX7lOIDzQ3PBb9?si=mGmyC6UfT4W3Qxyt8WMS_g

The Ramones Merry Christmas

I also love this George Michael one open.spotify.com/track/2I6IeSyW701c7OP82Juhvo?si=p9KSV0HsRQOGiKcL7LwIaA

And Train - Shake up Christmas is ok

My absolute favourite is The Power of Love by Frankie Goes To Hollywood which some would say isn’t Christmassy, but it is to me

Feliz Navidad - Boney M.

Straight banger.

Oh and while I'm here.

We wish you a Merry Christmas. Booker T and the MGs.

Funk it up

My Only Wish by Britney, cheesy Christmas pop
