I like Stop the Cavalry too,Shakin Stevens Snow is Falling and Wizzard,I wish it could be Christmas, also like the David Bowie and Bing Crosby Little Drummer Boy.
My faves are Bruce Springsteen , Santa Claus is coming to town . Wham last Christmas and Chris Rea Driving home for Christmas. RIP so sad to hear that he’s died
I know I said earlier that I coul stand Fairy Tale of New York, seems I’m unusual. A song about a couple who met with great expectations and ended up broken and disliking each other intensely. Doesn’t seem very much like Christmas to me.
That’s what I think too, it’s basically about a couple of drunks on Christmas Eve.
I love all the Phil Spector Christmas songs but when I hear “White Christmas “ by Bing Crosby I get a tear in my eye as it was my mum’s favourite Christmas song . I sing along to the 70s stuff by Slade, Wizzard, Shaking Stevens, Mud and even the Wombles!
