I find it unbelievable that nobody can find that jingle anywhere.fishy fishy wrote: »for me, it is the old jingle from Penny's that started in the early 80's
Penneys.......got a whole lot of things for Christmas got a lot for the family.
I wish Penneys would bring it back, LOVED it!!
For me, it's not Christmas until I see the CocaCola trucks ad.

I'm listening to Shakin Stevens on my ipod now! I also like Last Christmas- the video for it is so snowy!
I don't get the East 17 or that sad Gary Jules song though. Being a Christmas no. 1 does not a Christmas song make!0 -

I couldn't disagree more, a fantastic Christmas song. Lyrics are fantastic, it's actually what real life Christmas is like. The best of them all by a country mile!
"I kept them with me babe, I put them with my own, can't make it out alone... I have built my dreams all around you" A perfect lyric
nah, too maudlin, fighting and crying.
I prefer my christmas to be happy, joyful and not be in a paralytic state of drunkeness at a bar.:D I think a lot of people "like" this song because they are "supposed" to like it, but in reality they just "grin and bear it". 0 -

I think people like this song because its real... It's dark and cold, and at the same time has a wonderful positive message beneath the darker parts of life! The commitment of people to their partners through the harder parts of life, maybe Christmas is one time of the year that people consider the important people in their life!
Christmas isn't just for the happy happy families in the world. Some people have it tough and I think this song was written from their perspective! It has real deep meaning! Like the thoughts that a bit of luck on a horse might mean the sign of better things to come. Can you not see a chap down on his luck seeing things in that way? "Got on a lucky one, came in at 18 to 1, I've got a feeling, this years for me and you, So happy Christmas, I love you baby, I can see only better times when all our dreams come true" ?
It's gritty and tough, but also poetic and soft... It's a jaysus masterpiece0 -

nah, i find it so depressing. Christmas is about being happy. I don't think there is such a thing as a "happy happy family" - I think every family has their own issues. But at least make an effort to be happy instead of sitting at a bar talking sh*te due to being so drunk you can't even think straight. It's the drink talking, and as usual talking sh*te in this song - you can hear it any day of the week, not just at christmas.:D
it ruins my Christmas every year. 0 -

I love 'Stop the Cavalry' and am always thrilled the first time I hear it played at Christmas time. Sorry, Fishy, I know it's about being miserable at Christmas away from home, fighting a in the trenches of the first world war, but it's my favourite! 0

Absolutely adore this one! One of my favourites. I can picture it now. Me browsing through the packed shops and bum bum bum da dum playing - ooh the excitement, only 73 days to go or 10 weeks which sounds really close if you ask me!0 -

I'm not kidding! No Wham and you put Zig and Zag and the Bublé on your list???!
Be gone heathen!!! :eek:
Well okay, I'll forgive you since you have Let it Snow there, but it was a close call!!
He's a-comin', not a-runnin'
He's got eight reindeer and lots of good cheer
He's a movin', and a-groovin'
Hey Santa baby why don't you break it down?
Zig & Zag were brilliant at Christmas when I was young. The Christmas specials on RTÉ from 1990 - 1994 were brilliant. Christmas No.1 is the first tape I ever bought. Still have it.
I like Bublé around Christmas, it goes well in the background.0 -
