Christmas Songs You`re NOT Sick Of

Call me an old softie, but Seasonal music is part of what gets me in the mood for Xmas. I agree with the Doc that some of the Xmas pop songs start to grate when they play them mid-August, but there are some Xmas songs that I look forward to.

Last Chrimbo I was very taken with Howard Goodall's arrangement of Gaudete!. I love the cheesy Xmas songs from Christmas Vacation or John Williams' score for Home Alone with its variations on the Carol of the Bells.

Or how about Leslie Bricusse's wildly overblown 1970 Scrooge with Albert Finney?

I still love Slade. Actually a fair few of them mentioned (including the first) in the thread I like.

I reckon even the most miserable of our Scrooges would miss the Xmas standards if everybody stopped playing them.

It's only a matter of time before some cultural apologist working for a London borough bans all references to X*** for fear of insulting minorities.

I used to be with it, but then they changed what 'it' was.
Now, what I'm with isn't it, and what's 'it' seems weird and scary

TBH it was one of my favourite Christmas songs, but I will not ever play it again.

In the early 60s I bought a few Christmas singles & LPs. I still like playing them to this day. They are 'The Phil Spector Christmas LP.' 'Brenda Lee Christmas' with Rocking around the Christmas Tree on (I also bought the 45). 'Jim Reeves Twelve songs of Christmas' & The Elvis Presley 'Christmas LP'. It goes off subject a little but The Beatles always released an LP at Christmas, obviously non Christmas songs, & I always think of Christmas when playing those tracks.
