Just imported our Christmas playlist into the ipod, we have 447 songs!!! Kind of sad i think, but we both love Christmas songs, what is your favourite? Think i will respond to my own question in a few weeks
Prokofiev Troika from Lietenant Kije. All jingle bellsy and jolly. Always has the family trotting round the house pretending to be reindeers pulling sledges. Or joining in with Max Bygraves singing 'I Saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus'. Seriously weird house is ours!
I wrote Gau Day Tay earlier....but better known as Gaudete.....Steeleye Span....Go to youtube and select 35th Anniversary World Tour version only 2min 14seconds..........but really marvellous.

Nothing like getting you in the festive spirit with a song with lyrics like 'scum bag' and 'whore' in it.
It's got to be Noddy shouting "It's Christmasssssssssssss!"
Adam Faith's 'Lonely Pup':
'Soft brown eyes that seem to say
Stay a while, I want to play
Could you, would you
Do please stop
He's a lonely pup
