Following last year's tradition (probably not a tradition just yet, but let's just go with it) of writing about Christmas films, I thought we'd turn up the volume this time around and focus on Christmas songs.
Every year for a few weeks during winter, popular music and the charts fall into a time warp. Turn the radio on, and you are transported 25 years back. At least.
Is the reason nostalgia, or is Christmas music so darn good? Or so bad it's good? Not all Xmas songs are created equal, afterall.
Which festive tunes are worth losing your voice over as you sing them at the top of your lungs? Which are your favourite holiday songs?
They can be global, local, in different languages or mega-hits we all know and love (or loathe). After the last couple of years, it would make sense to go for some happy tunes to cheer the mood, but there is no restriction - as long as the songs are about the festive season.
I'll do the honours with - yes, you guessed it, the title was a bit of a spoiler - Mariah's ultimate 1994 hit, All I want for Christmas is you. Which one would you follow this with?
Let's create the soundtrack for our holidays 🎵🎄🥂
