A few faves : Driving Home for Christmas - Chris Rea, Merry Christmas Everyone - Shakey, Silent Night always makes me well up and feel sad, but I love it! And the old traditionals - I’m dreaming of a white Christmas, Rudolph the Red nosed Reindeer, Let it Snow, Let it snow, Let it snow etc...

I’m actually not a huge fan of Slade, it’s probably the most played but least liked (by me at least!) of all the regular Xmas songs!

What are yours Mrs C?

White Christmas is my favourite but there are so many that I enjoy

Driving Home for Christmas always gives me a sense of ‘its almost here’. Love it

Here occasionally, but mostly somewhere else

Slightly off the beaten track, the version of Santa Claus is Coming to Town by Bjorn Again is a fantastic arrangement, that I always enjoy hearing.

Not a fan of Cliff though.

"The power of love by Frankie goes to Hollywood.

It was a number one in December 1983 but not the Christmas number one. It had a Three Kings/nativity theme to the video which explains why it’s seen as a Christmas song.
