It's a shame Gary Glitter turned out to be such a contemptible blot on humanity, as Another Rock 'N Roll Christmas is actually quite a good one.

Ruling that out then, I'll go:

Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End)- The Darkness
Merry Christmas Everyone- Shakin' Stevens
2000 Miles- The Pretenders
Santa Baby- Eartha Kitt
I Believe In Father Christmas- Greg Lake

(If I'm honest, I could have picked LOADS, I love Christmas music and other tat)

Obviously this:



and anything from this:



This is not technically Christmas, but always will be to me:



This is not really a song, but is strangely moving and has some good backing from Michael Franti:



And this is now rivalling Fairytale of New York for me:

Given the abuse that the young blogger got on another thread a few days ago, it's probably lethal to post my own recent blog on Christmas songs...
But screw it, I'm gonna post it anyway :

Not particularly a fan of this as a musical piece, but it always reminds me of an episode of Alan Partridge when I hear it, so it makes me smile.
