Shane MacGowan - Christmas Lullaby, one of the darkest Christmas song there is.
"I hope you grow up angry
Just like your dear old dad
I hope you grow up brave and strong
Not like me - all weak and sad"
Wow, cuts like a knife.

"Oh... Anyone remember the cover of Rocking Around the Christmas Tree that Kim Wilde and Mel Smith did? (Mel and Kim  ) That always made me chuckle "
The version that she sings later in this clip is even funnier

There is only one Christmas song, it’s just not Christmas until Noddy Holder tells you it is. It should be compulsory for retail outlets to play it over the festive period.
On a more serious note though, remember folks, SLADE are not just for Christmas. |

I have two favourites which I just can’t split.Fairytale of New York Shane MacGowan unique voice and the exchanges in lines with Kirsty MacColl make it a very special song for me.Last Christmas by Wham I am a big George Michael fan the video in which he goes away for Christmas with friends and his ex girlfriend is there with his friend makes the song a bit of heartbreaker |

Driving home for Christmas
My ex husband started a new job approx 1 hour away so we had to relocate.
House sale completed 21st Dec. He & my daughter moved away on 21st. I had to stay with in laws to work my notice
I drove to join them 24th Dec and Driving Home for Christmas played on car radio
I've never forgot how I felt that day

"Elton John "Step into Christmas".
I wouldn't call Solstice Bells a Christmas song but it's one of my all time faves. "
Solstice Bells by Jethro Tull is classed as a Christmas Song by many and quite rightly so, along with Greg Lakes "I believe in Father Christmas" they would be my choice of Christmas favourites |

"Which is the best Xmas song and why do you think this?"
My fav is winter wonderland. There is a kiwi version of winter wonderland too. Search Air New Zealand winter wonderland. It is hilarious. |

"Gaudete - Steeleye Span or Ring Out Solstice Bells - Jethro Tull"
Pure class
These, and I Believe In Father Christmas by Greg Lake are my top three
Top trivia - Gaudete is one of two records sung in Latin to have charted in the UK. Anyone know the other? |

"Stop the cavalry - Jonah Lewie
Love a good trombone "
Another favorite, though his other hit "always find me in the kitchen at parties" reminds me as a kid of family Xmas parties when all the men were in the kitchen supping beer and aunties sat round the lounge Sipping snowballs... (that's the advocat drink) |

12 days of Christmas by either: Metro, Nestor Pistor, Faye McKay or Bob & Doug Mackenzie
O Holy Night - Haley Reinhart
And every other Christmas song by everyone who ever sang it I am not biased. I just chose those because I was watching F is for Family and adding videos to my youtube channel. |

"Always been partial to Santa Claus is coming to town - the Springsteen version. Love it!"
And just in case anyone needs help with a linky thing to it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76WFkKp8Tjs
Just had to listen to it again. Yep, still an absolute banger |
