    Ok, so I LOVE making playlists. Love love love.

    So i was wondering if folks would like to nominate a few songs for a Boards Christmas Playlist on spotify? I know everyone loves Christmas FM but I don't really like radio stations, i prefer just having constant music... :o

    If people pop a few suggestions in here I'll start it off and share the link :)

    **EDIT - Here's the link, keep the suggestions coming!

    Boards.ie Christmas Forum Playlist!**

    Great idea!

    My pick Shakin' Stevens - Merry Christmas Everyone and Once Upon A Christmas song - Geraldine McQueen.

    Great idea. My choices are "When a child is born" by Johnny Mathis and "Stop the Cavalry" by Jona Lewie.

    Thanks B & C.

    Don't put Last Christmas on it - in case any one is playing that game where you try to avoid the song for as long into December as possible!
    Or do and deliberately sabotage it for someone!

    My suggestion - A Winter's Tale, Greg Lake.

    Did you mean David Essex? Or did Greg lake do a version I can't find?

    Inevitable. Driving home for Christmas. All I want for chiristmas is you. Oh holy night.

    Robbie Williams has a Christmas album out. He has a duet with Jamie Cullum that’s very good.

    Greg Lake did I believe in Father Christmas, as far as I know.

    David Essex did A winter's tale.

    That version doesn't seem to be on Spotify, so I went with the Steeleye Span version instead.

    Going to assume you meant Grandma.

    Or maybe the reindeer were just fed up with the slave labour. ;)

    U2 have 2 Christmas songs.

    Christmas - please come home

    A fantastic Motown/ Phil Spector effort

    And a cover of I believe In Father Christmas - good cover

    Mel and Kim‘s Rockin around the Christmas tree is a good one and despite everything I still love Baby it’s Cold Outside - the original, not the John Legend/Kelly Clarkson one.

    Over forty posts and Fairytale of New York hasn't mentioned, so I'll nominate it now! :)
    Also Christmas in Hollis by RUN DMC is surprisingly good.
    Great idea for a Christmas thread OP.

    If it gets listened to, he gets paid, so rather not have him on there!

    Some suggestions, movie based...:

    Darlene Love - All Alone on Christmas https://open.spotify.com/track/5LcXgvFrPx26X8ZexNMT0s?si=QAgMWh-gTMiUWlaOyXi8kw

    The Drifters - White Christmas - https://open.spotify.com/track/72Z28IsvEVLjSWdUKEQgZ0?si=acz2_nHHTIiWcgCLpBvtYA

    Luis Prima - Pennies From Heaven - https://open.spotify.com/track/6qLbTCa3QZkqP2XSYuf93B?si=3f7s77wvQYWcq5Nrz4QXTg
    It's not traditionally a Christmas song, but being from Elf is good enough of a link for me!

    The Muppets Christmas Carol - It Feels Like Christmas - https://open.spotify.com/track/2NzSAmFZWgOe3q17jOEots?si=0-YNBs8pSmWxKWDwMPX70g
