When you think of Christmas tunes apart from carols you probably think of Slade, The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl, Wham and flipping Cliff Richard. So for your relief & delectation I present a chart of alternative songs for Xmas
And in keeping with the season of goodwill, I shall refrain from my usual snarky comments appended to each song.
Festive greetings to one and all of my blog followers and here's to a good 2015

“ – the dangerous words, the padlocked words, the words that do not belong to the dictionary, for if they were written there, written out and not maintained by ellipses, they would utter too fast the suffocating misery of a solitude …” Jean Genet Introduction to “Soledad Brother – The Prison Letters of George Jackson”

Thanks Marc - the perfect antidote for the Carey Song which I have been avoiding with about a 97% success rate for weeks! :-D
I shall find a moment or three to listen to them all over the next couple of days!
best wishes to you and yours this festive season D x
