As far as I know, there haven't been any new ones written for quite a while. They just seem to cover old ones.
I like The Pogues, but tha's just me

Washington Square by Chris Isaak is a great christmas song from a few years ago that I think slipped past most people's radar.

The next three weeks?
They've been played to death for the past three weeks too. (I also don't listen to pop radio, but always overhear what my OH has on the radio in another room). |

Who'd have thought we'd consider them classics decades later during the x-factor years.
Still waiting to hear The Pogues. Then xmas can officially start. |

Fairytale of New York is the only Christmas song worth listening to.

I prefer the Phil Spector Christmas album, myself.
(And Greg Lake's 'I Believe In Father Christmas'). |

I can't believe I've made it to the 6th December with only hearing Last Christmas by Wham once and neither The Pogues, Mariah Carey or Slade, etc. at all. It's a miracle!

That Pogues one is the most annoying one because at least the other Christmas songs (Wham, Wizzard, Slade) "know" that they're novelty and fun but "Fairytale of New York" is so earnest. I'd rather here slightly rarer ones like "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" (Belinda Carlisle), "Frosty the Snowman (Fiona Apple), "Jingle Bells" (Skid Row) and "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen/We Three Kings" (Barenaked Ladies and Sarah McLachlan). The Phil Spector Christmas Album is great.

I've been trying to avoid Christmas songs until after my exam's over as having them stuck in your head while trying to study is not good ![]()

Snowed In by Hanson is a great Christmas album. Mostly covers but a few originals too. They've also just recorded a new Christmas song but its only available as part of a Xmas bundle on their website.
