MY TOP 5 FAV 80S CHRISTMAS SONGS

Hello and welcome back... Its that time of year again.. Christmas

I Love Christmas, its got a certain feeling about it.

From the department stores that have been decorated, warm weather, family get-togethers, good food and the birth of Jesus Christ.

A friend asked me the other day, what was the best Christmas you remember?
I would have to say... Christmas 1984

It was a warm day, about 32deg (90f), both my Grandparents turned up (that was rare) and i got my first Walkman from Santa. I could now listen to FM Stereo for the fist time although my fav station was 2SM (rock of the 80s) on the AM band.

I put the new battery's in, sniffed that new plastic smell, turned the Walkman on and the first song i heard was 'Band Aid - Do They Know Its Christmas' in 'stereo'.
I had chills and its a time i will never forget, even now, as both my grandparents are no longer alive.

So this is my top 5 Christmas songs that i love to listen to at this amazing time of year.


1. BAND AID - DO THEY KNOW ITS CHRISTMAS



2.THE PRETENDERS - 2000 MILES



3. WHAM - LAST CHRISTMAS



4. JOHN LENNON - HAPPY CHRISTMAS



5. PAUL McCARTNEY - WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS TIME




I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THE TIME TO SAY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL MY READERS OF THIS SITE.

SEE YOU IN 2018
