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

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

[Thalamus.]

Of all the replies I can't belive that Dominick the Donkey hasn't been mentioned..:smileyshocked:

Here is my five - In no particular order..

The Christmas Song - Nat King Cole

Santa Baby - Ertha Kit (got to agree with Startthecar's comment)

Christmas Time - The Darkness

Do They Know It's Christmas - Band Aid (84)

Jingle Bell Rock - Bobby Helms

[hutchy73]
