I'd have to say that, by and large, Christmas songs are loathsome things that should never have been invented. So there!
Bah Humbug!!!.....
Chris Rea's "Songs of Christmas" might be considered ok, tho'. If you can stomach Chris Rea.

Well having assisted TGW Chris with the grave robbing this week, I had better post on the subject, hadn't I?!
I'm definitely in the camp that supports The Pogues feat. Kirsty MacColl - Fairy Tale of New York - but I think that it has come from being a cult track to over played in the last few years.
Sadly, I am also of the age where Wham - Last Christmas has very fond memories, having bought said single on 7" for a devoted Wham fan who's affections I was also seeking... Unsucessfully, unfortunately...
I'm not a huge Elvis fan - but this is one great bluesy Christmas Track - Merry Christmas Baby - http://open.spotify.com/track/2Hxvl0ZZcKbfCi1W5gtGfp - or how about the original by Charles Brown - (just love the way it breaks into jingle bells in the middle 8!) http://open.spotify.com/track/7kBPXZ0CMtwU4GGBlW66Bx

That is amazing - Ali and I were just listening to that in Spain in the pouring rain as I read your post.
But for me its Jona Lewie - Stop the Cavalry

When I was 12, I went on a school trip for a week in Normandy, staying near Rouen, in a cheap but chearful hotel with 30 other school kids - every meal time (and I mean EVERY meal time!) they had Stop The Cavalry on 7" single on continuous repeat (must have been a Dansette record player or similar) - I figured it was probably the only English record they had, which was ironic as it was a French field trip! It has taken nearly 30 years for me to be able to appreciate that song! (Oh, and it was April when we went!)
