Your name reminds me of another one of my very favourites Felice (Happy)

Feliz Navidad, preferably sung by Mr Buble [swoon]

DBF and I one year decided to visit as many Christmas markets as we could.
We must have been a bit flush that year !!!
So off we went during December to Aachen, Maastrict, Brugge, Ghent, Leuven, Lille, Brussels and any more we could find.
Everytime we arrived at one the first thing we heard was Mistletoe and Wine, every single market.
We decided we were being haunted.

I loathe and detest Slade's 'Merry Christmas Everybody', it makes me cringe!
However, I love Roy Wood and Wizzard's 'I Wish it Could be Christmas Every Day' and will happily bounce around to that at any time after mid November,
I also love Fairytale of New York, but only the Pogue's version, can't bear the sight or sound of Michael McIntyre, and he's just not funny!

Well, I thought the worst Christmas song ever was Slade until I heard the Christmas Jeremy ( we're voting for Jeremy) song by his fans.grin

I quite like them all but The Pogues is my favourite and I love the Michael McIntyre version.

There is a lovely video on You Tube of Michael McIntyre doing Fairytale of New York - hilarious. I quite like it as my family all roll around pretending to sing it when they have had a few at Christmas.

I love Fairytale of New York too despite the cynicism in the lyrics! I actually like the Little Drummer Boy video and singing too though!

I love Fairy Tale of New York Nelliemoser It is probably the only one I don't tire of hearing.

Anniebach Thu 17-Nov-16 11:33:34

Dislike them all, with one exception - Fairytales of NewYork , the Pouges

"Driving home for Christmas"is totally depressing with banal lyrics.
Misletoe and wine is pretty awful.
The Fairytale of New York. No one seem to really listen to the words and realise what it is about. It has a point to make but It is incredibly cynical.

Thinking about it banal lyrics are the rule of the day for a many bands statutory christmas offering. Cheap xmas pot boilers.

I still like Slade's Happy Christmas Everyone. The tune and words are irrestibly enjoyable. Even for me who does not get to enjoy much Christmas jollity.

I agree Mistletoe and Wine very annoying. Also can't stand Last Christmas by Wham.
I do find they all get irritating after the first few hearings.

ALL of them ...lol.We worked as photographers in Santa's grootos in the 70's from November until Christmas eve...non stop christmas songs and carols .Its all great for the first week and goes rapidly downhill after that.We'd get in the car and blast Led Zeppelin as a cure to christmas overload

gillybob Thu 17-Nov-16 11:15:52

I'm with you there DaphneBroon Truly awful.

DaphneBroon Thu 17-Nov-16 11:09:24

Cliff Richard's Mistletoe and Wine -dreary doesn't do it justice!!

Soon the shops will be playing Christmas songs on a loop and I have been known to leave a shop playing this one as it drives me potty- Little Drummer Boy.. Big Crosby and David Bowie - cant stand either of these singers and the song is so morbid. What's your worst Christmas song?
