It's going to be short, so that you might spend the time you've saved on reading this post onto listening to my list ;) So, let's begin. Let me just note in the passing that the songs are not put in any particular order.
1. Wham! - Last Christmas
This song has so much to do with Christmas as I with DIYs. That is, little ;) I guess, there's only a word Christmas, that appears in the title and in the chorus. And despite that everyone associates it tiwj Xmas. Why? Perhaps because of the typical christmas melody? Who knows... It's so deeply embedded in our culture that no one pays attention to the lyrics. I am also a member of this group. Despite the awareness of the fact that it does not fit Christmas at all, I cannot imagine this time without this very song ;)
2. Banaroo - Coming Home for Christmas
I have no idea where I've got this song from. I've not heard about the band, ale it is in my playlist. What can I say? You just must listen to it.
3. Bryan Adams - Christmas Time
I wasn't me if I didn't put this item on my list. Bryan Adams is one of my favourites artists. This song is a real masterpiece, as the whole repertoire od this musician. I highlt recommend getting familiar with his output.
4. Cliff Richard - Christmas Time
The same title, different performer, but again a brilliant composition. The pace here is a little bit slower. You may sit, relax and let the Christmas atmosphere fill you.
5. Shakin' Stevens - Merry Christmas Everyone
Have you heard this one? Of course, you have. Who haven't? ;) Another Christmas classic, but this time it has a bit more to do with Christmas than just a title.
6. Czerwone Gitary - Jest Taki Dzień
And finally a polish item. The song, which can set me in a Christmas mood in no time. It has always been the very first Christmas song I had heard. That is probably the reason why I associate it with the beggining of December - the pre-holiday sezon.
So, another Christmas challenge have been completed. About Christmas songs one may write much more, but I wouldn't have that much time to put it all into one post, and you wouldn't have that much time to read and listen to all that ;)
How do you like my list? Have you known all of the items? What do you listen in the Christmas time? Or, prehaps, you don't listen to this kind of music at all? Please comment on the main post (the one written in Polish; feel free to comment in English).
