Love:
Stop the Cavalry
A Spaceman Came Travelling (in very small doses)

Dislike:
Just about everything else, sacred or secular. Neither Christianity nor sentimentality are my thing.

Winter Tori Amos
Christmas Through Your Eyes Gloria Estefan.

@lemmein Feliz Navidad is awesome!

River Joni Mitchell

Slade always gets me in the Christmas spirit.
FTONY

Can't abide Wham's Last Christmas, but it's the video more than the song I can't stand. All those glossy perfectly coiffed people doing 'Look at us, aren't we having fun!!' It feels so fake.

I wish it was Christmas today by Julian Casablancas.

I'm off to add some of these other suggestions to my Spotify Xmas playlist!

Christmas Nights in Blue by Trans Siberian Orchestra
Christmas in Hollis - RunDMC
I believe in Father Christmas - Greg Lake
For Unto Us a Child is Born from Messiah

(my Christmas playlist is a rollercoaster!)

I'm fond of Eric Cartman's O Holy Night.

Sinead O Connors version of Silent Night is beautiful

A choirboy singing the opening solo of Once in Royal David's City. Especially when heard live in a cathedral.

And 'sing, choirs of angels' with the descant in O Come All Ye Faithful.

Does Freheit's Keeping the Dream Alive count as a Christmas song? Because it always feels like it to me and I love it.

I love Christmas songs - the cheesier the better !

Thank you everyone, I have some new ones to add to my list!

Ooh @TheFeistyFeminist i forgot that one That would be on my list too.

I love Fairytale of New York!

I love Merry Christmas by Ed sheeran and Elton John. It is so nice to have a new favourite after 20 odd years of the same old on repeat, I mean I love most of them but it's nice that a new one actually tops the list.

Don't like all I want for Christmas is you.

i believe in Father Christmas by Greg lake is my absolute fave
coming in close behind
fairytale of New York
christmas wrapping
last Christmas
stop the cavalry

I like chris rea - driving home for Christmas, in small doses
and not a massive fan of when a child is born by Johnny Mathis

A lesser known one I love aswell is a spaceman came travelling… it’s very rarely played on the music channels.

December will be magic again by Kate Bush - preferably the bongo version.

SLAAAAAAAAAADE

I love them all really

but once I've done the descant for Hark the Herald things can really kick off.

@HonoriaLucastaDelagardie isn't that the point of the Last Christmas video?

Oh, I love Gaudete by Erasure but hadn't heard the Steeleye Span. It's very good isn't it?

The one that always makes me smile is Eric Idle's 'F*ck Christmas'. Entirely unsuitable for families or children. Best with a glass or two of wine.

My absolute favourite 😊
