I was thinking about this when they were talking about Cliff Richard this morning. I'm not a Cliff fan at all, I find him a bit creepy - but my favourite Christmas song of all time is Saviours Day. As long as I don't have to watch the video.

I don't know i'm not even supposed to be here.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snoooowwwww.....

Die Hard = best christmas movie EVAR!

[Yudster]

Why do you keep saying you aren't supposed to be here? Are you expecting someone to remember you from yeeeeeears ago or something? If so, you'll have to wait for Topher, he'll know what you're on about I'm sure.

My favourite Christmas song ever is Merry Xmas Everybody by Slade

[Lew]

Topher never knows what anyone is on about

[MK Chris]

I know everyone says it, but Fairytale of New York is just sublime. It's one of my all time favourite songs, never mind Christmas songs.

Topher never knows what anyone is on about

What are you doing back Mr Lewis?

[Andy B]

Mull of Kintyre.

[Boboff]

Joana Lewis Stop the Cavalry

[Zoot]

come, they told me
arump a pum pum

[MK Chris]

I also agree with Boboff and Zoot's suggestions as great Christmas songs, but not the best.

[Yudster]

They're all good. I love Christmas songs.

[Zoot]

Actually the best ever is Little Donkey.
I'd forgotten about that one.

[Munki Bhoy]

No idea, but there's one I can't stand. Last Christmas. What a miserable song for a happy time of year!

[Yudster]

Quite a few of them are pretty miserable really. Fairytale of New York isn't exactly a bundle of laughs.

I've thought of another one I absolutely love - Gaudete by Steeleye Span.

[foot-loose]

Anything by Westlife.

(although I dont know if they released a song called "Anything")




This is a shit post.

[Jacqueline]

I liked the Power of Love by Frankie Goes to Hollywood

[TIAL]

Fairytale of New York is a classic, but I've heard it way too many times.
I'll throw in a curve-ball and vote for Soulful Christmas by James Brown.

I really love Gaudete too - but it always makes me think of Alan Partridge now.

[Bonanzoid]

The Pogues and their dental plan.

[Andy B]

Hang on. Surely the best Xmas song has to be Dominic The Donkey?

What are you doing back Mr Lewis?

Dunno. Thought of this place and decided to do my annual random posts. Any of the old guard still about?

I agree with you on fairytale in new york, absolutely amazing song whatever time of year you listen to it. Another one just came to mind... "Step into Christmas" by Elton John, for a funky festive feeling (alliteration ftw)

Edit: Just realised a gapingly obvious one that has been unmentioned.... Wizzard "I Wish it could be Christmas Everyday"

Now that is a good choice that would be my personal greatest song ........

[lemon lyman]

It has to be Fairytale of New York for me, but do have a soft spot for 2000 miles by The Pretenders
