Topic: Odd and interesting Christmas songs

Time to brush up on some xmas songs. What are some that are a little bit more fringe than the normal xmas carols?

Please Daddy Don't Get Drunk This Christmas by John Denver

My wife hates it when I play that one.

Re: Odd and interesting Christmas songs

I know some Christmas songs. No xmas songs.
The Gift by Garth Brooks.
A New kid in town by Kathy Matea
And The Angels Cried by Alan Jackson    these are all out of the norm.

We pronounce it "Guf Coast".

I like the following three:

I'm dressin' up like Santa (as soon as I can get out on parole) - Bob Rivers
(That one is hilarious, but it's tough to find.  Email me if you want the chords for it.)
Christmas is the time to say I love you - Billy Squier
Merry Christmas Everybody - Slade

Re: Odd and interesting Christmas songs

We used to play this on the "ole turntable" every year at Christmas.
I remember me and my brothers giggling thinking "dirty thoughts as young kids would, about women's lingerie".
It brings back at lot of good memories.

I hope you enjoy this. Merry Christmas to all my Chordie friends.  smile
