What song defines Christmas for you?

Which of the following songs says “Christmas” to you? Which song makes you think of Christmas as soon as you hear it? Ian Dempsey on Today FM this morning asked this question and the result surprised me.

Silent Night
Fairytale of New York

A poll of Today FM listeners this morning found that 85% thought of Fairytale of New York as a Christmas song.

The song he has me thought at Christmas is “Last Christmas” – Wham! (1985).

Queen’s “Thank God It’s Christmas” comes to mind!

And here’s Thank God it’s Christmas via Toutube. Unfortunately 99% of the time that I hear that song it’s not Christmas so I skip forward over it!

Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire! Glad I found this old post to get into the season – two years late, but it’s a good thing Christmas is upon us again.
