Aye I know, the thread probably gets done ever year, but going back to Dec 08 and digging out the last one would be Theadomancy of the worst and foulest kind. So I thought I'd start a new one.
Been slowly going mad the past three weeks as some bright spark in head office decided early to mid November was a great time to start the Christmas track across the radio, however we've still had normal songs being the majority.
More and more have been played as the last ten days have gone on, and from Wens I expect to hear nothing but Christmas songs. So its either go mad and murdalize the rest of the staff, or get into the swing of it and name my faves, hence this thread.
So aye which are your faves, mine are probably as follows.
I believe in Father Christmas - Greg Lake
Fairytale of New York - the Pogues with Kirsty MacColl
Jingle Bell Rock - Bobby helms
Little Saint Nick - The Beach Boys
Happy Xmas (War is Over) - John Lennon
Pipes of Peace - Paul McCartney
"That's not an Ork, its a girl.." - Last words of High General Daran Ul'tharem, battle of Ursha VII.
Two White Horses (Ipswich Town and Denver Broncos Supporter)
Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer of course.
Ave Maria, not Christmasy per se.
Drummer Boy -the Crosby/Bowie impromptu gig.
Dreaming of a White Christmas.
Pachuko Clause

I pretty much just love the classics. Performed by a choir and orchestra, these songs are very moving.

I love the entire 'Phil Spector Christmas Album' thingy. 'Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) by Darlene Love is a particular favourite from that collection.
Also @MDS - Awesome shout for 'Happy Xmas...', I adore that song.

I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.
And so, due to rising costs of maintaining the Golden Throne, the Emperor's finest accountants spoke to the Demigurg. A deal was forged in blood and extensive paperwork for a sub-prime mortgage with a 5/1 ARM on the Imperial Palace. And lo, in the following years the housing market did tumble and the rate skyrocketed leaving the Emperor's coffers bare. A dark time has begun for the Imperium, the tithes can not keep up with the balloon payments and the Imperial Palace and its contents, including the Golden Throne, have fallen into foreclosure. With an impending auction on the horizon mankind holds its breath as it waits to see who will gain possession of the corpse-god and thus, the fate of humanity......

--The whole concept of government granted and government regulated 'permits' and the accompanying government mandate for government approved firearms 'training' prior to being blessed by government with the privilege to carry arms in a government approved and regulated manner, flies directly in the face of the fundamental right to keep and bear arms.
