    Sorry I'll try and be clearer- WHAT HAS IT GOT TO DO WITH CHRISTMAS?

    Mentioning the word Christams once or twice hardly ties it in with the greatest story ever told.

    To be fair, very few "Christmas" songs have anything to do with 'CHRISTmas' stockings on walls, presents under tress, kissing under missletoe etc etc, none have 'relevant lyrics' to the true meaning of Christmas don't stop us singing and dancing along though.

    Phil Spector's Christmas Album, recorded in 1963 with The Crystals, The Ronettes, Darlene Love etc. Magical then and still gives me goose bumps 50 years later.

    This. Plus the 'Wall of Sound' album for the Boxing Day party. Can't go wrong!

    it's looking at Christmas from Mother Christmas' perspective.

    she doesn't want her husband to leave on his journey around the world delivering presents so asks him to stay another day, that's what Brian Harvey said anyway.

    the clues are in the lyrics

    Santa if you've got to go away
    I don't think
    I can take the pain
    Won't you stay another day
    Oh don't leave me alone like this
    Don't say it's the final kiss
    Won't you stay another day

    Don't you know
    We've come too far now
    Just to go
    And try to throw it all away
    Thought I heard you say
    You love me
    That your love was gonna be here to stay
    I've only just begun
    To know you
    All I can say is
    Won't you stay just one more day

    Santa if you've got to go away
    I don't think
    I can take the pain
    Won't you stay another day
    Oh don't leave me alone like this
    Don't say it's the final kiss
    Won't you stay another day

    I touch your face while you are sleeping
    And hold your hand
    Don't understand what's going on
    Good times we had return
    To haunt me
    Though it's for you
    All that I do seem to be wrong

    Santa if you've got to go away
    I don't think
    I can take the pain
    Won't you stay another day
    Oh don't leave me alone like this
    Won't you stay another day

    I remember years ago in the Venue, Shakey would come on and snow would fall! 'Snow is falling all around me....' Brilliant!

    They wear white coats, it snows in the video, they use church bells in the song, it was Xmas number one.

    I'm certainly clutching at straws here!

    No I agree, it is a very christmassy record! (I was just mimicking Riveria's questioning!) Another Christmas record that I love is Pretenders - 500 miles.

    Christmas Eve. You've fnished work. You get in the car and face an hour in the cold, dark and wet evening rush hour to get home for a few days off with the family.

    There's only one song that does it for me.

    Christmas songs .... Room 101 for me, I'm afraid. Haven't had the radio on in the car this last week for the fear of hearing Noddy Holder blasting out 'it's Christmas' for the umpteenth time. Give me a Christmas carol any day of the week ... bah humbug
