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.

Wham's Last Christmas and The Pougues Fairly Tale of New York. Do not like Kylies Xmas, her nasal voice developed over the past few years is awful.

I like that too. My absolute favourite though i,s Santa's a Scotsman - only ever played by Ken Bruce when he was on radio 2 and now on Greatest Hits Radio. His fans are up in arms on FB if it's not played on 1st December!,

It has to be Chris Rea and Driving Home Fot Christmas. I have always loved his music and this year it has a special poignancy.

I think it counts. I like it too. I mentioned it as one of my favourites way back on page 2.

Fairytale of New York by the Pogues and Blue Christmas by Elvis.

White Wine In The Sun by Tim Minchin. It sums up perfectly what a lot of people feel about Christmas.

"Mary did you know" sung by Celo Green is a beautiful song.
