Christmas songs

I defy you all to name a good Christmas song since 1994. I think there should be an amnesty on Christmas songs over the last 20 years. Let's decommissio the garbage. We already have enough quality Christmas songs, no more should be made.

You obviously haven't heard the 'Christmas Shoes' song. Fabulous example of the genre.

Every Christmas song is a steaming pile of ****e with two exceptions

The snowman - walking in the air
And
Chris Rea - driving home for Christmas, provided you are ACTUALLY driving home for Christmas

That's it
Just 2 and one with a major caveat

I agree on the Chris Rea point because I've drove a long way home for Christmas on a few occasions and the song is really great when it comes on the radio.

Although disagree on the steaming pile. Christmas songs are great because they're boxed into one month if the year.

Not a true Christmas song. Although it is a great present.

It's awful.

I might add I worked in retail and pubs/clubs for years so I've heard them all so often they give me the rage

found this christmas song recently and quite like it. its very haunting and i can imagine walking home through the cold full from the local pub adn listening to it.

latin is such a cool and evil language. the song itself dates back to medieval times

I hate Christmas and Christmas songs. Love the snowman but I'd add one more to make a perfect trinity. Darlene Love and Springsteens E Street Band - All Alone on Christmas. Pity about the cheesy video with the eminently punchable McCauley Culkin but it's an absolute cracker of a song.

This isn't really a song, but it's a track on an album I got about 20 years ago, and it has music and is set at Christmas (and it's a great story).

William S Burroughs with his own The Junky's Chrismas (from Interzone).

Of course, The Fall also had the very seasonal No Xmas For John Quays.
