FabSwingers.com forum: Your FAVE Christmas song!

By (user no longer on site) OP

C’mon it’s as good as Christmas already!

I know you all love it, so let’s hear it.. tell us your fave Christmas choon, Fabsters!

Maybe it’s modern, maybe it’s traditional, maybe it’s a carol or something a little offbeat?

Me? Well from a traditional perspective I like Carol of the Bells, but for a pop-tastic festive song you can’t beat a bit of Shaky and Merry Christmas Everyone!

Carol of the Bells is so good! It's the perfect Gothic, dark Christmas sort of music.

I do have a soft spot for a rather problematic song. And Fairytale of New York.

I wonder how many of you know this wonderful song "Nothing but a Child" by Steve Earle - with gorgeous harmonies provided by Maria McKee. You may thank me later.

Wrapped in red - Kelly Clarkson is a cracking tune.

I love Winter's Tale by David Essex.

And It came upon a midnight clear is a great sing, plus it has the best descant

I liked him with Queen, but other than that I hate everything from him.

It doesn't make him less talented though.

I would rather have a pine tree or a cactus in my arse, than listen to Last Christmas one more time.

Well it was released around Xmas and has jingly Christmassy bells ringing in it ergo it must be festive

(No, I don’t understand why either, but it keeps their royalties flooding in every November and December so I doubt they’re complaining!)
