niblick1874 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Greg Lake, I believe in father Christmas, by a long way. Why, I don't know, it leaves me bitter and angry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xKGc0-PUp8 Imagine and Do They Know it's Christmas remind me of Christmas but don't make me feel all Christmasy where as Mull of Kintyre and Merry Xmas Everybody by Slade do. Just an age thing I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debut 4 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Never got the love for Fairytale of New York? It's ok but doesnt even sound like a christmas song and too folk song-ish. Give me the usual Slade, Wizzard or Paul McCartney any day. John Lennon and Jona Lewie well before it too. For old classics I love White Christmas by Bing Crosby and my Dad had Perry Como's Christmas Greetings Album and would play it every Christmas Eve night when I was a nipper to capture the mood ....

I said it. and I believe a Hearts fan wrote it too! I know a bloke from Edinburgh , Bob Heatlie, wrote the song but someone on here from another thread said he frequented The Wheatsheaf in Gorgie at one time. I think he's from Craigmillar originally.

queensferryjambo Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Slade for me. Great band, great fun era for Christmas songs. The lyric 'Does your Granny always tell ya that the old songs are the best' sums up my Gran on Christmas day in the 70s to a tee. Wizzard a close second.

i wish jj was my dad Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I was 15 when Fairytale of New York was first in the charts and had a rather special school Xmas party that year so that's always going to win for me .

martoon Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Slade. White Christmas (but only Bing, everyone else murders it). Best of all though is "Winter Solstice" by Jethro Tull. Not technically a Christmas song but it's on most of those compilation albums and is festive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
