It is this time of year that I tune into Jack FM - if it's the same as last year, they refused to play any Christmas songs

There's only a few I like/can put up with - going into Sainsbury's at lunchtime was painful

All of them . . . . . . .

I heard my first this year on November 11th.

Very tasteful.

You'd better not shout you'd better not cry or whatever it effing is.

Thank you.

That's one of the only ones I can stand - it's beautiful. Christmas Wrapping by the Waitresses is good, and 10,000 miles by the Pretenders is barely a christmas song anway. But Cliff, Shaky, Wizard, Slade, Wham etc etc - AAAAAARGH

Give me scumbags and maggots rather than misletoe and wine !

Light years aren't a unit of measurement for time, you prick!

BTW, what is this with Xmas songs anyway? Aren't they just songs for Xmas shopping? If not, what? AFAIAC, you're either a Xtian, and value a xmas carol, or you're not. This in-between thing is just ghastly, on a par with pseudo-christian services, with 'favourite songs', mock preachers, etc., at a cremation. Yuck.

That's the only one I like!
I can't bear the Slade and Wizard songs. I was longing for one of them to get caught kiddy-fiddling, just so their records would no longer get played.

I don't think there's anything Christian about it. It's just celebrating the winter festival in a tacky drink-fuelled overindulgent way. Just like it was done for centuries before the Christians hijacked it.
I have to say though, I'd much rather listen to carols than modern Xmas songs, and I'm definitely no Christian. They're simply far superior musically.
In reply to Hooo:

a) More or less what I was saying. b) It wouldn't surprise me if some Christmas carols have pagan roots.

Here's one by Howlin' Wilf which I've always liked: youtube.com/watch?v=1He0_Sp0Wpo&

He went to great things, did Wilf: as James Hunter, he was nominated for a Grammy in 2008. Not too shabby.

Are you familiar with the Stannington etc. carols from around Sheffield?

And another great one from the Commander:

In reply to Rob Parsons:

Yes, I went to that wonderful pub once before Christmas and tried singing along with some of them Most seemed medieval rather than pagan (and a lot of very boring Wesleyan) .. but I'm sure some have very ancient roots indeed.

Reminds me of when I worked Christmas Day two years ago.

Fekin depressing day, and one I would not like to repeat.
In reply to Chris the Tall:
Yes to the Waitresses and in a strange way I like Bob Dylan's 'Must be Santa' - so tongue in cheek and great delivery in that now gruff voice of his.
In reply to The Lemming:

I like all of them. And houses obscured by cheap lights, mad trolley filling on Christmas Eve, hyperventilating on the sofa on the big day, cramming nuts and port in whenever a wafer-sized gap appears in my stomach, and even the kids spiralling on cheap pop and tartrazine.

Everything about Christmas is ace and I won't be on call this year.

Shame on you, they're all brilliant.

Except that one by Cliff Richard. It's shit.

My Dad's favourite Christmas song - youtube.com/watch?v=hx5gACTWy1c&
In reply to Christheclimber:

Yes, that and Wonderful Christmas Time by Wings. Surely the two worst soppiest pathetic shamelessly commercial Christmas records of all time.
