I quite like Christmas songs but at this time of year I do get fed up with hearing the same ones over and over again.

I too love Wham. The Springsteen version of Santa Claus is coming to town is one I like too along with Fairytale of New York.

My parents loved Jim Reeves and we always had his Christmas Album playing at Christmas in our house. Even now it doesn't really feel like Christmas for me until I have heard the album.

Fairytale of New York is my favourite as well, Veggie.  When you listen to the words it's not exactly full of peace and goodwill, though,  is it?

this reminded me that used to love Steeleye Span (I've still got Now We Are Six on vinyl somewhere)... I went googling and found they were still touring this year.. and saw this...

 

For Steeleye's Spring 2011 tour, the first half set consisted of them playing the album in its entirety, some 37 years after it was first released

Can't stand the blooming Carey woman...or any crimbo songs mullered by Westlife/Britney/other rubbish peeps!

 

LURVE Jim Reeves singing Silver Bells, When a Child Is Born by Johnny Mathis always gets me too. Also love the crimbo stuff by Enya. In Dolci Jubilo by Mike Oldfield is another fave along with the afore mentioned Gaudette. In fact, there are few I can't stand!!! 

 

To get me in the mood.....
