Looking to put together a playlist to listen to as we get nearer Christmas, and wondered what songs people would suggest/recommend? I have a list, but may be missing some songs that haven't sold very well. I'm after the classics as well as hidden gems

Cheers Daz, I have a lot of those on my list already, and some I don't, so will pop and have a listen and see if they grab me. I was thinking of doing the playlist on spotify, not sure if I know how, but will give it a go soon

It's pretty simple. Just click +new play list and right click and add to play list
The best thing about doing a play list on Spotify is you can search Christmas albums or Christmas playlists and steal song ideas from there

You really only need the Phil Spector Christmas album, plus a collection of your favourite carols.

The one thing that stands out as missing from Daz's list to me is 'Proper Crimbo'. Yes, it's cheesy and awful, but it's absolutely undeniably Christmassy.
