There is nothing I love more then turning on the radio,
trekking through Winter Wonderland or walking into one of the many Christmas
shops and hearing the delights of, yep you’ve guessed it….CHRISTMAS MUSIC!
Nothing, and I mean NOTHING makes me feel more festive than this. So I thought
it was only appropriate to put together a little list of the BEST Christmas
songs of all time, or at least some of my favourites. So, sit back, grab a
mince pie or 10 and have a little listen to some of these absolute classics.
Does what it says on the tin really! It has
become some what of a tradition for my folks to play this song when
picking me up from the station, when I am quite literally 'Driving home
for Christmas' and I love it. Absolute winner!
Old Mariah has been in the press recently
for an apparently terrible version of this song...but who cares, its
Mariah and she will always be ON FIRE!
One word...Classic. Everyone loves a bit of Wham and nothing says 'Its a Christmas Miracle' quite like this 80's spectacular.
4, Band Aid - Do They Know Its Christmas?
...I think they do. Now in its 30th year
this Bob Geldof classic has been raising money and awareness for 3
decades. Well done Bob, where's your life time achievement award?!
5, Wizzard - I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday
...this would only cause financial instability and BOREDOM! So no thanks Wizzard, I'm glad its not Christmas EVERYDAY!
6, Frank Sinatra - Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
Oh Frank, he never disappoints with this
old time classic. No doubt everyone will be playing this little number
on Christmas Day.
7, The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale Of New York
I personally don't like this song but apparently the rest of the world does, so I couldn't not include it...I don't have anything else to say about this one as it hurts my feelings to talk about it anymore! Ha!
BONUS TRACK
For me Christmas reminds me of my childhood which was of course in the good old 90's, and it seemed at the time every Pop Star and TV personality with half a brain was jumping on the Christmas song bandwagon. So I thought what better way to celebrate this occasion then to watch this phenomenon...
8 more sleeps to go until the copious amounts of alcohol, merriment and FOOD! If you have a piano, be sure to stand around it singing with your eyes closed...its just a joyous dream!
Have a wonderful Christmas everyone x
