All I want for christmas - Mariah Carey

Re: christmas songs

My least favorites:
Rocking Around The Christmas Tree
Jingle Bell Rock
Feliz Navidad

Reason: Around here those three songs are practically ALL they play on the radio every 10 minutes during the Holiday Season.

Not an Xmas person, personally, but the only song to listen to on Xmas day is Bad News - Cashing In On Christmas.

Re: christmas songs

I often wonder - when/what date (give or take) do people start listening to Xmas Sog's? I think i'll be starting my annual marathon run that starts in the middle/late november (perhaps after the 20th this time) until early Janruary. When do other members start listening to Xmas Song's?

Re: christmas songs

My favourite is a punk rendition of 'Silent Night' that I heard on Radio 1 c.1980, once and once only. I've never heard it since, and know not who recorded it, but that's my fave alright!
I also like 'I Believe In Father Christmas' as I think it's such a good cynical assessment of all the crass commercialism and forced jollity that has come to surround the festive season. 'Merry Christmas, Noel, be it Heaven or Hell, the Christmas we get we deserve' - absolutely.

LEAST favourites are 'A Spaceman Came Travelling' by Chris De Burgh- I HATE it!! Apologies to David, but I can't stand 'When A Child Is Born' either- who did that by the way, was it Johnny Mathis? I know he did a version if it, at least.

Re: christmas songs

I love xmas songs
Mariah Carey - All I want for Christmas
Wham - Last Christmas
Shakin Stevens - Merry Christmas Everyone
Pretenders - 2000 Miles
Love Unlimited - It may be winter outside

Nothing like these blasting out at xmas...brings a smile to my face every time...

Indeed. Xmas Song's, they just never seem to age like normal non-Xmas Song's! I love them for that alone!!

Re: Xmas Song's ... which are your favourite's

I have just got some TV Station(i'm unsure of the name, sadly) on with Olly Muirs presting a countdown on and Cliff Richard is on with Misletoe and Wine and it is a pheoniminal song .... one of Cliff's best best ever song's Xmas or non-Xmas i think as is Saviour's Day I think. I used to have both these on video - Misletoe and Wine when it was first broadcast from I think The Royal Albert Hall in 1988 and Saviour's Day probably taped off Going Live or the 8:15 From Manchester or something similar!

What memory's these are ... they are so far away but still so so near (in time context I think).
