I will build a great wall - ... of sound.

Coventry Carol


I was always struck by this one.


And as far as Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas goes, I agree and greatly dislike the happier lyrics version that emerged later.

Tricky one, I think it's probably this one:



Although, of course, there's Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Bowie and Bings excellent duet, 'Do they know its Christmas?', 'Spaceman came travelling', 'Only a Winters Tale', 'Stop the Cavalry', I'm even partial to a bit of 'Fairytale of New York' if only to try and judge how many pints MacGowan had had before that recording.

Then, of course there's the official British adjudicator of Christmas:



It's not actually officially allowed to be Christmas in the UK until at least three things have occurred, 1) The Famous Grouse advert has arrived, 2) The Coca Cola truck advert has arrived and 3) Noddy Holder has declared that it is CHRIIIIIISTMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS!

Then festivities may commence by royal decree.

Huh, turns out that the co-writer of this song lives down the coast, in the town where I used to live. Small world!

This is not a Christmas song but I think it is in the spirit of this thread. It is the story of "the most "wunnerfulest Christmas in these here newnited states." I have linked this video because at ten minutes I think it might too long for this thread.
Be forewarned although this is not a sad tale it might bring a tear to the eye of any ole softies out there.
