its all about Fairytale of New York. Thats the main reason i look forward to christmas - i can legitimately listen to that song

its like the coke adverts on the tv, when you hear it that means its christmas. considering whether its worth £30-ish plus train tickets to catch the pogues live this christmas. to hear that would be magic, but wouldnt be the same with someone else singing kirsty mccolls part.
apart from that one...im digging the manic street preachers version of last christmas, then theres stop the cavalry or whatever its called, that trumpet bit makes it

cant go wrong with a bit of slade, and then for the morning after when your head is suffering a bit you can listen to the noel gallagher version they did for the royle family christmas special
last year the manics also put out 'christmas ghost' for free which is pretty darn good. they're ruining it all for me, cant complain about christmas songs any more...
(thanks to my sister 'lonely this christmas' by mud is also one thats a family thing...im not much of a fan but listening to it makes me think of us all sitting round the tv being amazed that htey can do a top 100 christmas songs show)
