Surely, you can't leave out Wizzard's ' I Wish it Could be Christmas Everyday'



And Slade's 'Merry Christmas Everybody'

Just to mention: Miss Vincent's version of Lonely This Christmas is a charity release, "All the proceeds from this track will go to Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice".

Looks like the over 60's party started without me!  Pass me a Watneys Red Barrel someone!

What about 'Mary's Boy Child' by Boney M (or even Harry Belafonte - now that's showing my age!)
'All I want for Christmas is You' Mariah Carey
'Lonely This Christmas' by Mud
'Blue Christmas' by Elvis
A Winter's Tale' by David Essex
'When a Child is Born' by Johnny Mathis

and of course you can't forget the classic .... 'All I want for Christmas is a Beatle' by Dora Bryan!!!  I remember my mum and dad buying me this one when I was in junior school.  What were they thinking????
... and, not forgetting ... 'Christmas is All Around' by Billy Mack!!   :x-iroll:

... Just remembered one my mum used to sing to us when we were little and it always made me cry ... 'The little boy that Santa Claus forgot' - various covers including Nat King Cole & Vera Lynn   :x-no:  A reminder to be grateful for what we got I suppose!

Merry Christmas Everybody!!  :x-btu:

I'd stick with the Ouzo 12, mate! Or get a drop o'decent beer while joining in with the Tyke version of While Shepherds Washed Their Socks By Night. As suggested by Neil & Maz, here's

Kate Rusby - Sweet Bells:




Another classy Christmas song, this one from Steeleye Span:




Bit of eye candy for the girls anyone who likes good looking young men, a young David Essex:




and of course you can't forget the classic .... 'All I want for Christmas is a Beatle' by Dora Bryan!!!

Oh yes we could!!! But just for you, Mary, here it is:




For those not quite as old as Tony, that bit of black plastic going round and round is how we used to listen to music, that or Radio Caroline.

Lucky Social Services didn't find out yer mum & dad bought you that, Mary, they'd probably have put you into care.


As Billy Mack might say, "Oh f*ck, wank, bugger, shit, arse head and hole":

For those who.. didn't request Dora Bryan's "All I want for Christmas is a Beatle" - that's what we used to call "music" back then.  We were just so cool in the sixties!   ;)

I did enjoy the blast of Steeleye Span, though.  Only thing was in those days I used to practice their stuff but had to go to hospital to get my middle finger surgically removed from my left ear!   :lol:

Hope you all had a good one.
