Best Christmas song ever!

My first nomination would be Driving home for Christmas.

Don't we all like that?

I would then go with some of Gene Autry's Xmas songs which I have always loved since I was a kid.

Xmas songs by Dean Martin and Nat the King are lovely

Steeley Span - Gaudete

We built this city on sausage rolls-ladbaby

There's only one & it earns Noddy & Jim who wrote it about £250k each in royalties every year it's played leaving Dave & Don to scrape a living as a toupee on the cabaret scene.

Peace on Earth, Bowie & Crosby.

Nearly as bad as The Laughing Gnome - Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum

Wham-Last Christmas for me.

The A list for our Xmas morning is:

Fairytale of New York -Pogues and KM
Greg Lake - IBIFC
Mary's Boy Child - Harry Belafonte
December - The Waterboys
Gaudete - Erasure.

steerforth - just checked out Erasure's version of Gaudete . Haunting video but not Steeleye Span

Fair enough Reynard - But I really like the bell.

I just checked the Erasure song out and it was good
I liked it,but what i really,really like is the Waterboys song
I've never heard that before, and I think it's absolutely brilliant.Some of the lines like "After long years in the monkey house,I'm ready for the storm" those lines could have been written about myself and my own madness.

I'll be playing this song many more times
tonight and tomorrow








Happy Xmas,steerforth.
BIG HUG to you.

imagine the fun they had writing that.

Christmas wrapping,sadly the lead singer  died at the early age of 40

A Mistress for Christmas......AC/DC

I'm still hearing the Waterboys song December that Steerforth introduced me to on this thread....I must have heard it 10 times or more yesterday and I'm about to happily hear
it again right now before I go out shopping for a few bits'N'pieces.

Jona Lewie...."Stop The Cavalry"

Mike Batt....."The Wombles"

"Wombling Merry Christmas"....brilliant for the kids...
