What I have so far is:
“Santa Claus Is Coming to Town” - Bruce Springsteen
“A Wonderful Christmastime” - Wings
“Tennessee Christmas” - Amy Grant
“Father Christmas” - by Lit (and yes, I know The Kinks did it first!
Any suggestions? I prefer traditional Christmas tunes like those by Grant and Springsteen, but I’d like to hear all suggestions.
No smarty pants punk or new wave stuff? That leaves out of lot of mine.
Merry Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) - US
Run Run Rudolph - Bryan Adams
Run Run Rudolph - Dave Edmunds
Heck, go pick up the Very Special Christmas CDs. That’ll take care of you.
