Fairy tale of New York!
Without a doubt!
@Long_live_rock_n_roll Thank you for the posts, music memories and fun.
For me it has to be John Lennon's Happy Xmas (War is Over)
@Long_live_rock_n_roll @sharongascoigne ever since I saw the film “A Midnight Clear” and was blown away by it and listened to the song during the credits- I never realised how the lyrics fit an anti war song - It Came Upon A Midnight Clear has been a favourite.
@Long_live_rock_n_roll Oh, you’re a hard taskmaster. I’m going to rebel tonight, these are my three favourites:
Christmas Wrapping - The Waitresses
I Believe in Father Christmas - Greg Lake
Christmas Time is Here Again - The Flirtations
I suspect most of you will know the first two; if you don’t know the third, have a listen to it on Spotify (other streaming services are available…)
Emerson Lake and Palmer - I believe in Father Christmas

Tom Waits- Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis
Favourite Christmas song is a sort of rare cover by Ingo Star Cruiser of "Just like Christmas":

Only saw it because the original wasn't on a streaming service and it suggested this cover, now I'm stuck liking this one more
Can't find any trace of the band that did this, presumably they're a pseudonym or something...
@Long_live_rock_n_roll "Merry Christmas (I Don't Want to Fight Tonight)" by the Ramones
@Long_live_rock_n_roll Not R&R, but this song, this particular version - hands down, and for years and years. Little Drummer Boy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ag4_Z6DsTsc
