Apologies if it's already been done - did a search and didn't find anything
Best for me has got to be Fairytale of New York and best by a big margin
Why doesn't anybody write any good Christmas songs these days? Can't think of anything from the last decade that particulary comes to mind.
not a xmas one but i love 'forever autumn'.....
Agree on Fairy tail of New York. Slade does it too.
I think there all shit.
You cant write a good xmas song
sleigh ride off the phil spector xmas album
Fairy tail of New York & Slade here too. Also Queen's Thanks God it's Christmas just because Freddie's great. There's another one I like that I can't get into my head at the moment....
...John Lennon!

Hives and Cyndi Lauper in a Christmas Duel[/url]
Not really a fan of christmas songs, but I enjoyed this one. The lyrics are hilarious and it owes a debt to Phil Spector and Fairytale of New York.

I cant stand any song with a mention of the 'C' word , nah I dinnie mean c**t, thats fine, I mean C***s; Isn't it time someone came up with a proper secular-atheist seasonal choon?.
Having said that, the most recent amusing C***s song is probably The Darkness's Dont Let The Bells End- cheesy, camp, funny and a wee bit cynical.
Fairytale of New York???
You've all got to be kidding.It's utter,utter shite.

Driving Home for Christmas by Chris Reah (or however you spell his name) is probably the only one I could listen to without wanting to turn off. Not heard of the Slade version of Fairytale of New York...
i really want Charlotte Church and Goldie Lookin' Chain to make "Fairytale of Newport"
"Alien for Christmas" by Fountains of Wayne.
I want an alien for Christmas
Bring me an alien this year
I want a little green guy
About three feet high
With seventeen eyes
Who knows how to fly
I want an alien for Christmas this year
(see You Tube, etc). Class
I'm a basket case when it comes to Christmas songs and now we have kids it's all the more a part of the general build up a couple of weeks before. There've been a few recentish ones though. The Darkness, Bo Selecta, the Wombats to name 3 I've found.
They are all sheet and generally not somethign you;d listen to for musical prowess but sod it.
How about The Joy Formidable's "My beerdrunk soul is sadder than a 100 dead christmas trees"?
driving in this morning I heard "fairytale of New York" as sung by Ronan Keating ( and some Irish bird ) ... I wanted to kill my radio.
Theres'a great Shonen Knife christmas song, can remember the title.
Altogether in a Japanese accent....
"Velly melly chrismas, velly melly chrismas, happy new year"
Why there isn't anymore these days? Well, probably X-factor has presumably killed off the Christmas record as we know it.
