Worked on the Xmas Market in town for 4 years, and they had only one xmas tape that lasted an hour and then started over. By year 2,  I was waking up screaming Feliz Navidad during the night

I remember as a kid watching this on TOTP with Ian Anderson pouring dimpled pints of bitter ( or bitter coloured water) over his head as he mimed the lyrics.

 

Fair play to him for that.

Any decent new Christmas songs this year?

 

When You're Here by Malka is delightful.

And this is a charity song that some friends of mine made a few years back that is both heartwarming and cynical:

Buy it, all proceeds go to charity.

Every time i see this thread, it reminds me that Ladbaby had the Christmas number 1 for about 5 years on the spin. It brings up a rage inside me.

 

Plan to stick my tree up tomorrow, so need to carefully curate a playlist tonight.

And given that this isn't really an amnesty thread, my two favourite Christmas songs:

 

 

 

White Wine In The Sun by Tim Minchin is a beautiful modern, secular take on a Christmas hymn, full of pathos. I've always loved this but since my daughter was born - near to Christmas in 2021 - it takes on an extra special meaning. No, you're crying.

 

And Christmas Was Better in the 80s by The Futureheads, because it was, wasn't it?!

I think you might be thinking about this clip. My mate sends me the TOTP Solstice Bells clip every year and there's no pint glass.

Fuck amnesty. Solstice Bells is my favourite Christmas song of all time, especially given that it not once mentions Christmas.

No.its not that clip good though it is. I had a quick look on you tube for the one I am referring to and couldn't find it. I do distinctly remember it though as I laughed like a drain while my Dad huffed and harrumphed as he often did through TOTP. As I probably would where it still on.

The BBC probably pulled it off YouTube in case it's offensive to old fashioned pint glasses.

This one brings back memories of my girlfriend, at the time, letting me do it to her and therefore popping my cherry. I was probably very shit but it was Christmas night '96 so very fondly remembered.

The Mariah Carey song that many love to hate is, for me, a bona fide Christmas banger. 
 

This doesn’t get enough festive love either. 
 

 

 

I believe they wrote this purely to have a song with Bell & End in it. Saw Justin Hawkins at the Taylor Hawkins tribute gig and he was superb.

Bona fide classic Christmas song this. Gets me in the mood.

 

My offering is:

 

it's Christmas when I hear this.

 

That Ladbaby cunt and his gobshite Mrs absolutely boil my piss so when this appeared on the radar I instantly fell in love with it:

This reminds me of older relatives who are no longer with us
