FAVOURITE CHRISTMAS SONG # 18 - Merry Christmas Everybody

 

Despite the general awfulness of the Christmas song there are however always exceptions to the rule and I have a short list of personal favourites.

Without exception all my choices not only include the song but the best performer of that song and so in no particular order here is my Eighteenth selection.

 

Merry Christmas Everybody

Music & lyrics by Noddy Holder and Jim Lea

Performed by Slade

 

Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?
It's the time that every Santa has a ball
Does he ride a red nosed reindeer?
Does a 'ton up' on his sleigh
Do the fairies keep him sober for a day?

Chorus:
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
Are you waiting for the family to arrive?
Are you sure you got the room to spare inside?
Does your granny always tell ya that the old songs are the best?
Then she's up and rock 'n' rollin' with the rest

Chorus:
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
What will your daddy do
When he sees your Mama kissin' Santa Claus?
Ah ah
Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?
Are you hoping that the snow will start to fall?
Do you ride on down the hillside in a buggy you have made?
When you land upon your head then you've been slayed

Chorus (3x)
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS # 1

 

Well I only got a sweater for Christmas

Not the best thing to get for a dreamer

Because I got a sweater for Christmas

When I wanted a moaner or a screamer

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – GOLDEN WINTER (2012)

 

Only child, Oliver Richmond (Andrew Beckham), is a lonely kid because he hardly ever sees his workaholic parents, Jessica (Shannon Elizabeth) and Jeff (Jason Burks).

Because of that he reaches out in desperation to some classmates, and although they’re bad news he reluctantly joins their gang and on his first day as a member, the gang take over a foreclosed home for the holidays.

The former owners had abandoned the house and contents and left town, even leaving behind a Golden retriever and her five puppies, animal welfare had taken the mother to a shelter but the puppies were left behind.

When they were discovered the gang leader saw an opportunity to make some money but Oliver just fell in love with them, and that’s when the adventures begin as Oliver attempts to reunite the puppies with their mother and along the way roles are reversed as the dogs help him reconnect with his parents as they all foil a robbery on Christmas Eve.

The vocal talents of Haylie Duff, Kim Little, G.K. Bowes, Darrel Guilbeau, Steve Sirkis, Kyle Hebert, Roel Navarro and Megan Miller bring the canine characters to life in the pleasing children’s movie.

“All I Want For Christmas Is You” written by Mariah Carey and performed by The Puppini Sisters

 

All I Want For Christmas Is You –

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is...
You

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
You baby

I won't ask for much this Christmas
I don't even wish for snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeers click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
Ooh baby
All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
Won't you please bring my baby to me...

Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is...
You

What do a Christmas tree

And a priest have in comparison?

The answer is simple to see
