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
