I've been both Whammed and semi-Mariahed, so I now accept the Xmas songs playing everywhere. Dentist, supermarket, greasy-spoon – all letting it rip now, and I accept my fate.
My preferred Xmas songs change year to year, and I've been thinking about which ones are my favourite this year.
Gonna share my top ten Xmas songs for this year in the next toot…
Here are my favourite seasonal songs this year. In no particular order.
- Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
- White Christmas
- Silver Bells
- It Doesn't Have to Be That Way (Croce)
- Song for a Winter's Night (Lightfoot)
- The Christmas Song
- Caroling Caroling
- Merry Christmas Baby (BB King)
- Jingle Bell Rock
- Rockin' Around the Xmas Tree
A mix of traditional and modern-ish.
My LEAST favourite Xmas songs list?
Here are the five worst for me…
- Baby It's Cold Outside
- LIttle Drummer Boy
- Holly Jolly Christmas (Ives version)
- Christmas is A-Comin' - May God Bless You
- Here Comes Santa Claus (Mills Bros version)
@ottaross It's not so much that I dislike the song, but in "Do You Hear What I Hear?" there are the words, "A child, a child shivers in the cold/Let us bring him silver and gold."
Utterly ridiculous!
A warm blanket, some firewood, a pot of tea for Mary... Something useful, please.
