When you have a Christmas party over here and have locals over, do you play all the good UK Christmas songs or do you put on crap ones that they know?

I would consider myself a poor host if I were to subject guests to Canadian music.

Do they have any Christmas songs? Not heard any

If they do and don't like ours F**** em. Nowt wrong with a bit of Shackin

Slade every time whether they like it or not!!!!!

The reason I ask, is; I was having a somewhat impromptu Christmas party on Friday night and people moaned about the Slade, Wizard, Shakin’ Stevens etc. Christmas music, until I pointed out it was my beer, tequila, vodka and sausage rolls and if they didn't like it they could naff right off. They seemed to warm to the music after that revelation. I'm not so sure if we have another party where people aren't quite so dependent on our booze, if they’d like UK Christmas songs?

I would expect so. Whats not to like?

You shouldn't be giving them Sausage rolls and booze. You will never get rid rid of 'em. Probably turn up New years eve now

I put on some nice Christmas music, basically all the number ones from 1973 to Mr. Blobby and they were ambivalent at best. I suspect if I put on Randy Travis or Dwaight "I'm a **** Yokum they'd be all over it.

It's not Christmas till I hear the pogues and Kirsty McColl.... I've heard just about every other Christmas song but this one.... :-(

I know.

Blatant plug

songs are a bit pants tho !!

Probably not. Seems a pretty clear study to me. Your booze is infinitely preferable to UK Christmas songs. Anyway, not all Canadian Christmas songs are rubbish. Hallelujah was a Leonard Cohen song and that's pretty decent. Can't think of any others though ...

Nope - our party is on the 20th, the same nght that some or other country music christmas celebration is on TV - as soon as the inlaws saw that advertised it was a foregone conclusion that, once again - country music goes on.

It's my ringtone - the only way I get to hear it

Good looking kids!
