A spaceman came travelling is also one of my faves, just outside the top 10, however I still feel like it’s highly underrated 🤪

It's a beautiful song. Most of mine bring back memories.
Except Ed and Elton which sounds like it's been around for ever but was released in 2021. They both know how to craft a memorable tune .

1. Do they know it’s Xmas (original)
2. Fairytale of New York
3. Happy Xmas (war is over)
4. Last Christmas
5. Santa Baby (kylie version is fav but any)
6. I wish it could be Christmas every day
7. Step into Christmas
8. Christmas Lights (Coldplay)
9. mistletoe and wine
10. a spaceman came travelling (Chris de Burgh)

Christmas Eve/Sarajevo - Trans Siberian Orchestra
You make it feel like Christmas - Gwen Stefani
Its Beginning to look a lot like Christmas - Perry Como

Just some of my favourites that are not necessarily the classic ones.

Oh and The Darkness with Christmas time don’t let the bells ring.
