Listography - Top 5 Xmas Tunes!!

Kate this week has handed over her listography to These Precious Things who has chosen the festive theme.  Being the scrooge that I am, I was not going to join in this week, but then began making a list in my head anyway so thought I would share it!  I must stress that I hate christmas songs - mostly because they do not get played at christmas any more but about two months beforehand so that by the time christmas comes, I hate it!  So, the point of my list is to highlight the fact that there once was a time when I loved christmas and these songs remind me of the magical christmas' I had as a child:


1:  East 17 - Stay Another Day

Being a huge fan of the band at the time, this one song always reminds me of being a teenager, and the warmth and fluffiness of xmas

2:  Queen - Thank God Its Xmas



Love anything Queen related, and this song reminds me of shopping!(Probably because it gets played all the time in December!)

3:  The Darkness -Dont Let the Bells End



Got to have a bit of humour through all the madness and this song always cheers me up!

4:  Cliff Richard - Mistletoe & wine



Oh dear,  I cannot believe I am putting Cliff on my list but this song reminds me of family xmas' as a child, the excitement of seeing all those presents and eating chocolates, the nostalgia from this song alone makes me long for it all again!

5:  John Lennon - Happy Christmas (War Is Over)



Ahh, love this one, I definetely feel all xmassy when I hear this!

I just have to add that my favourtie xmas song of them all is Fairytale of New York but I didnt include it because Im sure everyone else did!  Plus, Coldplays song, Christmas Lights from last year is in there but thats because Im a Coldplay fan, not because it reminds me of xmas!

Bah Humbug!
