well cross Hallelujah off your list, its references are old testament.

Re: Christmas song question
The Buble is perfectly acceptable for some gentle Christmas crooning.

Re: Christmas song question
Some more drink and dance your ass off Canadian Christmas albums
Barenaked for the holidays ; Barenaked Ladies
Celine Dion ; chante Noel
The McGarrigle Christmas hour
Raffis Christmas album
Im sure those heavy rockers like Anne Murray, Rita MacNeil, Diana Krall and a host of others will get your guests rocking under the mistletoe.
I guess we should be thankful that the Bieber, Nickleback and Avril Lavigne have not released Xmas albums yet.

Re: Christmas song question
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?
Have a great time.

Re: Christmas song question
I was driving yesterday and on the country music channel the announcer said "And now Rolf Harris", I think it's the first time I said outloud "WTF"
A christmas song called something like "6 white boomers." It was crap and thank god he mentions the word australia in it, didn't want the Canadians thinking this was from my homeland

Re: Christmas song question
I keep hearing "Little Drummer Boy" which makes my blood run cold. I am old enough to know the link to the Hindley and Brady and have never lost that horror of association.

Re: Christmas song question
Canadians have the worse taste in music ever. I thought the US was bad until I cam up here. Its like living in a country of special needs gypos.

Re: Christmas song question
At times, I listen to online radio from the UK and other than bbc 6 music, uk radio can be as derivative as the Canadian versions.

I listen to 6Music on line all day and it is a godsend.
