Mine is Stop The Cavalry (Jonah Lewie?)
I know lots of people really dislike it but I find myself humming it when it’s played on the radio.

So many fabulous ones including Wham and Mariah Carey. I also like Kelly Clarkson's Underneath the Tree, Leona Lewis' One More Sleep and Wizzard I wish it could be Christmas every day.

‘Last Christmas’

And, because I can do a decent rendition on the piano, both ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas’
and ‘Chestnuts roasting on an Open Fire’ (I think it is properly known as The Christmas Song. Tricky key change seven bars in).

I hate ‘Fairy Tale of New York’.

I also like Lily Allen's 'Somewhere Only We Know'. It must be a Christmas song as JL used it for their advert and my choir has it in our Christmas repertoire.

Has to be O Holy Night sung by Perry Como. Always reminds me of my lovely dad.

I like a lot of Christmas so gasoline difficult to chose a favourite.
I am quite surprised that so many love Fairy Tale of New York. We sing it in our choir and I hate it.
It is really a sad story and I usually think I’d like to leave the room when we get to it in the programme.

I cannot pick just one 🤷‍♀️

Fairytale of New York, reminds me of a fabulous Christmas Eve

Last Christmas, just wonderful

Feliz Navidad, a piece of my heart will forever be in Spain

Shade, Merry Christmas, reminds me of my teenage days.

“Baby it’s cold outside” now has connotations of coercion - apparently - and is on the norty step.
