Favourite Christmas Song
 

I thought I'd start this discussion as well so it can run parallel to my topic about people's favourite carol.

Maggy has already started us off on this by stating her favourite Christmas song:
so what is yours?

Re: Favourite Christmas Song
 

Fairytale is a very good one; personally I think Greg Lake’s I believe in Father Christmas is hard to beat. As part of my job at this time every year is trying to unpick the celebration of Christ’s nativity from everything else that comes with this time of year, I find his lyrics prescient, and the video is poignant too.

December Song (I Dream Of Christmas) - George Michael

Re: Favourite Christmas Song
 

Slade :)

Re: Favourite Christmas Song
 

Another vote for Greg Lake.

His use of Lieutenant Kijé by Prokofiev is sheer genius.

Re: Favourite Christmas Song
 

Any off the Phil Spectors Christmas Album








And Santa Claus Where's my Bike Kevin Bloody Wilson hahaha

Re: Favourite Christmas Song

Just in case someone suggests Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer, I suggest this response.

At school we used to sing "Come and Join the Celebration"

Brings back so many memories..... And now I work in the school where I was a little boy so each Christmas the memories come flooding back.

I've just been setting the music and lights up in our hall for the children's performance.

This all time favourite takes a lot of beating Bing Crosby - I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

A couple of favourites for me are

Bruce Springsteen - Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town.

Chris Rea ~ Driving Home For Christmas

Re: Favourite Christmas Song
 

There are just too many good ones. How about John Lennon’s ‘Happy Xmas (War is over)’. We live in hope.

:xmas:

Re: Favourite Christmas Song
 

War will never be over (unless we manage to destroy everything).

Re: Favourite Christmas Song
 

An old school favourite.

Re: Favourite Christmas Song
 

Time To Remember the Poor - great song for those of us more fortunate this time of year.

Re: Favourite Christmas Song
 

I like this one

Re: Favourite Christmas Song
 

It has to be Chris Rea. Driving home for Christmas.

Re: Favourite Christmas Song
 

Very true. Right now, I'd settle for peace in Europe.

Songs about Christmas are great but (and I don't want to stray too far from the topic) 3 local card shops did not have a single Christmas card depicting The Nativity. It's not everyone's cup of tea I know, but, well, it is Christmas.

Re: Favourite Christmas Song
 

Proper Crimbo - Bo Selecta
Fairytale of New York
Solent Night - Sinead O’Connor

Re: Favourite Christmas Song
 

Solent night

Re: Favourite Christmas Song
 

It’s her Irish accent

Re: Favourite Christmas Song
 

+1

I remember a few years ago driving down to Cornwall at Xmas and in drifting snow on the Okehampton bypass this song on the radio. Much like the video.

Re: Favourite Christmas Song
 

Or this years version

I'm Walking home for Christmas, I just can't afford the petrol

Re: Favourite Christmas Song
 

Agreed about Driving Home for Chrustmas by Chris Rea as this is my second favourite Christmas song.

Re: Favourite Christmas Song
 

Good choice.
This is my favourite: The Power of Love

Re: Favourite Christmas Song
 

Kind of taints them for me

Notice a Wombling Merry Christmas hasn't made this list which whilst disappointing is perfectly understandable

Re: Favourite Christmas Song
 

I take it 'Hey Santa Claus' (Kevin Wilson) won't be on many lists... :erm: Though it is a good song.

Boney M (Mary's Boy Child) for me. It's paired with a happy early treasured memory.

Re: Favourite Christmas Song
 

Yet an all time favourite Christmas song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upH1QZU4Z0Yng
