Just to sour the festive mood a little, I thought I’d ask what are your least favourite Christmas songs and carols. I’ve got lots of least favourites. ‘Look to the future now, it’s only just begun’, from Slade’s Merry Xmas Everybody is probably the most stupid line ever written in a song. But I like the rest of the song for its sheer good nature and chutzpah. But……….. that spaceman drivel from Chris De Burgh. Mistletoe and Wine is a given, obvs as is Gilbert O’Sullivan’s Christmas offering and Taylor Swift’s Christmas Tree Farm (go back to it, you woke tart). Carols? If I never hear Oh Come All ye Faithful again I’ll be very happy, ditto Ding Dong Merrily On High. I’ll bloody well give you a ding dong, mate. Over to you.
