Alternative Christmas Songs!

Nothing says Christmas quite like a cheesy Christmas song. Year after year shops blast an array of Christmas tunes, featuring such gems as Mariah Carey's 'All I Want For Christmas Is You', a questionable cover of Jingle Bells, and inevitably a delightful rendition of a Christmas classic by the latest X Factor people. Shops force festive cheer on their customers , while tinsel-clad cashiers slowly lose their minds after the 59th play of Rudolph The Red-Nose Reindeer.

I've decided, after spending the past afternoon being subjected to such songs, to compile a list of alternative ones - still festive, but for those bored of Buble and sick of Slade (and possibly those with a sense of humour!)

1. Won't Be Home For Christmas - Blink-182


2. White Wine In The Sun - Tim Minchin


3. My First Christmas As A Woman - The Vandals


4. All I Want For Christmas - Bowling For Soup


5. Deck The Halls - McFly


6.Once Upon A Christmas Song - Geraldine


7. Christmas Wrapping - The Waitresses


8. White Christmas - Stiff Little Fingers


9. Fairytale Of New York - The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl


10. We Three Kings - Blondie
