I'm really in the Christmas spirit this year and want to get some Christmas songs playing in the house to really get the mood going, i have no idea what to get so im where everyone go's when they have a trivial non important (most of the time) prioblem fixing, OcUk! so whats your Christmas play-list?
 
There's only one song on it and it's The Pogues & Kirsty McColl - Fairytale of New York. It's all you need.

However if I'm feeling especially festive I might consider:
Jona Lewie - Stop The Cavalry
Mike Oldfield - In Dulce Jubilo

After just hearing a bunch of essex reality ****s murder the living **** out of Last Christmas I'm cleansing my soul with Florence's version. Which should be released.

 
My Christmas playlist will include Metallica, Slayer, The Wildhearts, Ramones, Sex Pistols, Lamb Of God, Children Of Bodom, Kansas, ELP, Yes, The Sweet, T.Rex, The Supremes and Slade.
There will be no Christmas songs though.
 
Nat King Cole! How could he not have been mentioned yet?

The Christmas Song is undoubtedly the most christmasy song I know.

My Christmas songs are made up of soul / rnb and country, so here is a few of my picks.

Ray Charles - The Spirit of Christmas, again another absolute classic.

Dean Martin - Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer

Amy Grant - Winter Wonderland

Absolutely everything on the Brad Paisley Christmas Album. Here are a couple:




Also everything from the My Gift To You album by Alexander O'Neal:


 
This would be my recommendation

I'm putting one together that mainly consists of 'The Trans Siberian Orchestra' and another thats full of 70/80's Cheese!! :D
 
All I Want For Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey would be literally perfect, if it weren't for one horrible backing vocal in the bridge.

That was the point - why do people have summer & christmas playlists? - just play music.

The seasons change, following this are peoples moods, i think it is a good thing and the cycle that is involved is healthy for society so that they remember that we are not just living in one continuous time line with no start or no end we have reference points to be involved collectively in, we are not singular we are together.
