Tell me your favourite Christmas songs

[Nightell]

And then tell me the ones you hate 😂

I hate most Christmas tunes - forced jollity isn't my thing. I love All I Want for Christmas is New Years Day by Hurts (which is telling). I have a soft spot for Greg Lake's I Believe In Father Christmas as well.

Ah yes, the Greg Lake is a winner here too. 😀

Christmas Wrapping by the waitresses for me

This is my FAVOURITE song, Christmas related of course.

Chris Rea: Driving Home for Christmas.

Especially with the YouTube video. 🎄

Love love love Santa Baby by Eartha Kitt. It’s perfection.

And, absolutely hate Santa Baby by Kylie Minogue 🤣.

I love this song so much!

I totally agree!! Eartha Kitt version is a million times better.

Also, I can't be the only one who can't stand Mariah Carey All I Want For Christmas Is You - overplayed imo.

Not sure if it's favourite but definitely underrated- Thabks God it's Christmas by Queen

You know, these posts come up every year. I’d like to compile a list sometime with Spotify or YouTube links to every song.

And every year I have that same desire to do that list but never actually do it!

LOVE

Slade - Merry Christmas Everyone
Jonah Lewie - Stop The Cavalry
The Pogues and Kirsty McColl - Fairy Tale of New York
White Christmas - Bing Crosby

HATE
Lonely This Christmas - Mud. (Hate the faux Elvis crooning.)
I believe in Father Christmas - Greg Lake - just bloody depressing
That awful one by the Darkness,- Justin Hawkins shrieking so high it sets off car alarms.....

@RomaniIteDomum

Totally right about Thank God It's Christmas - always gets forgotten and it's brilliant!

Fairytale of New York, infact everything on your LOVE list, is fab.

I agree about the Darkness song. Bleurgh!!

The Coventry Carol by Bella Hardy

The Power of Love by Frankie

How To Make Gravy by Paul Kelly

Christmas Without You by Trixie Mattel

Stop The Cavalry by Jona Lewie

Most of the songs from the Ally McBeal Christmas album.

Yeah, it's definitely in my top 5 but think Slade pip ot to the post.

Think the lack of music video did for it and it never really got established as a Christmas Classic

Love Greg Lake's song.

A couple of the less obvious ones I love are

Tim Minchin's White Wine in the Sun (makes me incredibly emotional, especially now I've lost a family member close to me)

Tracey Thorn's Joy (again, hits me in the feels for the same reason). Her whole Christmas album, Tinsel and Lights, is great actually

Merry chrstmas everyone - Shalin Stevens
Lula lulay - girgeous
Lots of spooky carols that i have on a playlist - as soon as advent starts the playlist goes on!

Argh excuse all tnhe mistypes!

Favourite LP is Christmas with Nat and Dean from the 50s.

I love Fairytale of New York too, but Christmas isn't here until I've heard Slade!

Feliz Navidad 💃👯‍♀️

Chris Rea..Driving Home for Christmas
George Michael…Last Christmas

For anyone looking for lesser known songs, there is a great Christmas playlist on Spotify by kvcsdavid, it’s called alternative Christmas Playlist.

Oh and 'Christmas vacation' - the opening track on Lampoon.

Gaudete by Steeleye Span, spine tinglingly good!
