"Do They Know It's Christmas?" - Band Aid (1984)

I do like a list! So, just for fun.......

1: Little Saint Nick – The Beach Boys: Super upbeat and with their default great harmonies I could certainly dig a Christmas in California.

2: Christmas – Darlene Love: From possibly the best Christmas album ever (A Christmas Gift for you: 1963) it is the ‘Wall of Sound’ covered in tinsel.

3: Plastic Mistletoe – Aidan Moffat: Few things are more festive than a bit of a moan.

4: Santa Baby – Eartha Kitt : Nope, I had no idea what a “sable” was either, great track, wonderfully performed.

5: Fairytale of New York - The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl: Christmas officially starts for me when I hear this and start singing along (usually to both parts)

At the start I thought I would struggle to think of 5, turns out there are quite a few decent Crimbo songs. With that in mind, and as I can't win, I am having a wildcard!

Wildcard: Christmas TV – Snow Club: Lovely track that captures the highs and lows of the festive season

Lee.

Tried to chose something a little different for my list, I'm sure that it would not be a prize winning list though.

For me Christmas does not start until I hear the Coca-Cola advert so my first choice would have to be

1 Holidays Are Coming - Coca Cola

Thinking of those who's loved ones have to be away from their families during the festive season for what ever reason brings me to my second choice.

2 Please Come Home For Christmas - Charles Brown

This leads nicely to those who have to travel long distances for Christmas, yes I know some of you may be thinking of Driving Home For Christmas but for me my choice would be if only for thinking of the Griswolds.

3 Holiday Road - Lindsey Buckingham

From what you hear on the news this year has been a difficult for some people so hopefully Christmas can be a time to forget & enjoy yourselves which brings me to.

4 Thank God It's Christmas - Queen

And lastly my wish to you all

5 Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas - Frank Sinatra

Fairytale of New York - The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl. Wonderfully 'mournful but joyful' folky tune and glorious lyrics that remind us Christmas doesn't always go smoothly.

Merry Christmas Baby - Ray Charles. A festive blues classic played by many different artists but Ray absolutely nailed it for me.

Stop the Cavalry - Jona Lewie. Beautiful marching song, sounds like a church carol and carries a strong political punch delivered in a wonderfully deadpan voice. Great because it's a successful oddball.

Santa Baby - Eartha Kitt. So sexy. Very memorably covered by Kylie too.

Merry Xmas Everybody - Slade. Down-to-earth lyrics about a family Xmas, the most ridiculously dressed band ever, and that great screaming voice. It's ubiquitous at this time of year, but for good reason.
