A little early I know, but I thought hey ho, lets hit the ground running.


For me it's

"Merry Christmas Everyone" - Shaking Stevens. (for the dance floor)

"Little Drummer boy" - David Bowie / Bing Crosby (for sitting around the Christmas tree).

[David]

Fairytale of New York all the way.

[B1ue]

Fairytale of New York all the way.

Oh boy...yes, that does it for me too!

[Ballbag]

It does for me too, and probably would be my fave, but it's (in my humble opinion) somewhat overplayed at the festive time. Plus you can't really get up and dance to it.

Fairytale of New York all the way.

Snap! a true classic, and always gets me in the christmas spirt... (no pun intended)

[B1ue]

I wouldn't even risk getting up to dance to anything after eating a big Christmas dinner...

U'd only be sick if u did the "disco dancing" of Borat lol.

Joana Louis, wish I was at home for Christmas...................

I love Christmas singles. Fairytale of New York is amazing, I like the old ones too, the Dean Martin and Bing Crosby jobs - but I have to say, my favourite actually surprises even me - it's Saviour's Day by Cliff Richard. Who I don't normally like at all.

you scumbag
you maggot
you cheap losey faggot

Nothing comes close to fairytale of new york!

[Ballbag]

Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God it's our last


It is genius, and Shane McGowan, man he's a looker.

[Yudster]

Have you seen his girlfriend? She is really rather lovely - and to think, she kisses that mouth......eeeeeeuuuuwwww!!!!!!!!!

[kendra k]

i'm such a sucker for "do they know it's christmas?" sad, but true.

WHY AM I UP RIGHT NOW?

[Yudster]

Good point Kendra, it's EARLY!!!!!!!

[kendra k]

the DJ trainee didn't show up at my station, and it's my job to sit in. i'm currently "DJing", but really just playing long songs and messing about here.

i'll crash in a few hours.

[Boboff]

Kendra, glad your up, the Jewish festival of Akhlah Hanukah starts on the same day as Thanksgiving, any connection ?

[kendra k]

nothing more than the stars aligning just so...
which is why we're having lamb a week from today.

[Yudster]

When you say "we" - have they discovered a new kind of vegan-friendly lamb?! Or will you just eat the flat bread and bitter herbs?!

[kendra k]

we=my family members who eat meat, not me. i'll probably just chew some twigs.

[Quincy]

last christmas

[Zenon]

For me it's a toss between Fairytale of New York and Last Christmas

[Boboff]

Isn't last Christmas a bit of a gay tune ?

Gave you my heart and the very next day you gave it away.

Who gives Offal as a gift ?

[Yudster]

The lyrics and video to Last Christmas are so annoying - I mean, if they were together for Christmas just last year, how is she going to not remember or recognise him? Or maybe she had some sort of breakdown when she realised she'd had an affair with an ugly, fat, hairy repressed homosexual, and had effectively blocked the whole episode from her memory. Or maybe I'm over analysing lyrics again.

[SAV1OUR]

The reason Christmas and the songs alike work so well is it taps into an area of our mind which reminds of the joy and magic from our childhoods, and we aspire to live up to that again, theres a challenge, for me its the pogues i spose, its not naff or cringey like everything else, proper crimbo was rubbish but the video as expected was funny.
