still waiting for the snow to fall, doesn't really feel like christmas at all

ok, for the first time in a long while, i am going to have to admit that i was wrong.


for a few weeks ago, i complained how nobody writes any good christmas songs any more, and i was wrong.
and now i'm going to review this years:


christmas was better in the 80s - the futureheads
try and listen out for this song on the radio. because the video is a little bit dull. mainly because this song is a bit of a rant, but its still as good as classics like heartbeat song. good song for revision maybe?

christmas lights by coldplay

this is coldplay, so it was always going to be quite excellent, but i never expected it to be this good. the sound has traces of previous hits, but this song produces a more all round polished sound. the video is different and not a video where you open a new tab halfway through. maybe a rival of x factor for christmas no.1 position?

shake up christmas by train
yes, it is the same train from hey soul sister. and it is on the 2010 christmas coca-cola advert. but theres not that much else to say about it, because it is quite frankly a bit dull. but i guess if you want to see what its like you should listen to it for yourself.


oh santa! by mariah carey
i have to be honest, i was quite doubtful when i heard that mariah carey had a new christmas song out,  and it was only when my own dad was clicking along and tapping his foot that i realised that it's quite a good, catchy, fun song. whether or not we'll be saying the same thing in 10 years if it becomes as much of a hit as all i want for christmas, we'll have to see!
