A purely subjective list, of course, but there are certain songs, and certain versions of songs, that I just have to hear at Christmas.
Bruce Springsteen, Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
The Drifters (Clyde McPhatter version), White Christmas
In the Bleak Midwinter (This one’s from Kiri Te Kanawa, gorgeous.)
Charlotte Church, What Child Is This
The Kinks, Father Christmas
The Ramones, Merry Christmas Baby
Darlene Love, Christmas Baby Please Come Home
Third Day, Away In A Manger
Blind Boys of Alabama, Go Tell It On The Mountain
Alvin & The Chipmunks, The Christmas Song
