Let's find out what FOG's favourite Christmas song is!
To enter simply pm me (up to) ten of your favourite Christmas songs including the artist numbered in order please.
They can be pop songs or traditional songs or carols. Your number one song scores twenty points! number two scores 9, number three scores 8 and so on.
I'll do a countdown reveal of the songs nearer to Christmas. I won't include every song nominated due to the amount of different songs expected, I'll have to make a cut off somewhere.
Great idea Shane, have PMed my selections for you there
I'll get some songs in over the weekend. I'll struggle rating them though 🙃
If I get a chance to think it about it properly, I will have some for you.
Are you allowed to plug the lesser known and/or lesser heard songs that you might want to nominate??

I'll allow it
Julian Casablancas: I wish it was Christmas Today
Kurtis Blow: Christmas Rapping
Christina Perri: Merry Christmas Darling
The Greedies: A Merry Jingle
Lady A: A Holly Jolly Christmas
Captain Sensible: One Christmas Catalogue
Gilbert O'Sullivan: I'm Not Dreaming of a White Christmas
Band Aid 2: Do They Know It's Christmas
Dana: It's Gonna be A Cold Cold Christmas
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers: Christmas All Over Again
Bryan Adams : Christmas Time
I don't know how I am going to keep it down to 10 nominations, and how to rank them.
Edit: I just realised that I have 10 here, but I may not nominate all !of them yet!
Edit 2: I am up to 11 in the less played songs here, so definitely can't now anyway!

I asked ShaneU if it was okay to promote lesser known/played songs and he said okay. I have not decided on my nominations yet and there is no guarantee that all 10 will come from that selection!
Here is another less heard tune - Run Rudolph Run by Chuck Berry
Some more less travelled examples!
I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus -The Thrills
Grown Up Christmas List - David Foster and Natalie Cole (this version actually has backing vocals from David unlike the one normally played on Christmas FM)
Little Saint Nick by The Beach Boys
Doesn't look like this is going ahead. Only 6 entries and one of them was from boards! Declan clearly too busy spamming the thread to send his list in!
And don't send in obscure songs or they won't make the final list!

@
HildaSilvioOgden - great to see you back.
Sorry @
ShaneU - I had to change my top10 and send another PM, because I completely forgot about one of my favourites!
I don't like Christmas songs.

I don't really like Christmas.
Some of it is okay but if someone said it's cancelled next year, I'd say grand 😁
I will get the entry in tonight, sorry, last night ran away. Mine will be the ones everyone else hates.😁 Guaranteed.

Quick question before I send mine in - are you all sending YouTube links 9r embedding videos, or will a list of songs do?

I sent in links (or maybe embedded videos).
Probably better so the host doesn't have to spend time looking them up themselves

I just did a list of songs and the artists name. Which probably annoyed Shane in hindsight. Oh well.😜
I only sent a list. Tbh, mine are all the cheesy ones 😁
I'll make life difficult for Shane too so. 🤣🤣
List sent 📤
Links are beyond my capabilities 🤣🤣
Here is a newer one that I took a liking to in the last few years . I had forgotten about it this year until I heard it today on Christmas FM!
This is Christmas by The Goo Goo Dolls.
Ooh Cher has a Christmas Song out too! Heard it on Strictly last night!
Links are not needed
We're up to 12 entries including myself. Very close between the top 4 songs. 64 different songs chosen.
