  1. Slade. Absolutely reeks of shit British Christmas, it’s almost too perfect.
  2. In the bleak midwinter. Fuck you I’m having a carol.
  3. Pogues. Obvious, but ah it is great though
  4. It was on a starry night. Another carol, sorry. A modern one too, ugh.
  5. Chris Rea. Makes me think of Bob Mortimer, which is always a nice thing

Wonderful Christmas time - Paul McCartney DO NOT AT ME.

Christmas Wrapping - The Waitresses - BANGER

Stop the Cavalry - Jona Lewie - BANGER

Mistletoe and Wine - Cliff Richard - YAAAAASSSS

Making your mind up - Bucks Fizz - Debatable if it’s a Christmas song, but their name is Bucks Fizz so you’ve got to play it when you’re drinking a Buck’s Fizz. MANDATORY. WOOO SKIRTS OFF!

Calypso Carol #2, think the ddue who wrote it lived in Tonbridge or Tunbridge Wells.

Today is truly a bright day in the annals of DiS. We’ve all opened our hearts and accepted the word of Cliff Richard. As the famous philosopher Paul McCartney once said, “We’re simply having a wonderful Christmastime!”

It’s In the Bleak Midwinter

Close runners:

O holy night
Silent night
O little town of Bethlehem
O come all ye faithful

Actually quite tempted by a Cliff Richard Christmas calendar now, he’s having so much fun! I think it would add a bit of Joie de Vivre to my life

I have clear memories of attending the church I grew up in, the first Sunday in 2000. They were blasting out The Millennium Prayer on the PA system and a few people were very excited about it being number one in the charts
