oo a vinal collector are you? Thats an expensive habbit but im sure an enjoyable one!
Another +1 for this one, although I don't think it was intended as a Christmas song, was it?
Is there anything you don't do? :P
Stafford Railway Station have just posted about things they have going on, on Facebook.

Various things to raise money for charity - seems like as usual, they are getting into the spirit of things

I will post later about other songs I like - at present I'm too tired to think properly :P
One of versions with most hits on YouTube is a live version from paddy day 88

Not particularly expensive -- can pick up 2nd hand singles for around 50p per disc in my local market; albums for a few quid. Came back from the IoW (yes, we rode the Island Line and the Steam Railway) with a bagful of vinyl from an excellent shop in Shanklin called Groovy Records on Cross St.

No one gone for Getting Ready for Christmas Day by Paul Simon yet. Cracking song, came out last year in advance of the So Beautiful or So What album.

Does anybody remember 'Santa Claus is on the Dole' by Spitting Image ? Came out in 1986.

Christmas always reminds me of the song Cretin Hop by the Ramones.
I can expand on this if you wish.

I'm quite partial to Mike Oldfield's "In Dulce Jubilo" - reminds me of Christmas as a child. The 70's where especially good for Christmas songs in my view!

Was Killing in the Name played?
I never watched it that through, got bored when it got to all the x factor crap. Did spot a very young Jeremy clarkson in my blobbys music video!

Have been scrolling through looking to see if anyone posted that.
My other favourite is Malcolm Mclaren Presents Alison Limerick in "Magic's Back", the theme track from the film of the same name.

But when it comes to Winterval, nothing makes me feel more festive than the theme to and the series "The Box of Delights".
