Festive Favourites #2- Top Christmas Tunes (Plus An Announcement)

Hello all! As promised I return this Monday to present you with my favourite Christmas songs. Friday I talked about my festive favourites & I mentioned that I liked Christmas music but decided to leave my favourite songs till today, as it is Music Monday.

So without further ado, allow me to give you my top 5 Christmas tunes:

'Fairytale Of New York' by The Pogues ft. Kirsty MacColl

Such a good song- it may be be rather melancholy in places, but the tune itself is mostly upbeat. Gotta love this classic tune!

'A Spaceman Came Travelling' by Chris De Burgh

This is one song which I find odd that I like this time of year. See, I'm an atheist, yet this song is very much based on Christianity & the nativity. I think what draws me to this song though is the space theme- plus the song itself & the way it's sung is good.

'Gaudete' by Steel Eye Span

Again, another one I find odd that I like as it's religious & I'm an atheist, but I really just like how this song sounds!

'Feliz Navidad' by Jose Feliciano

The reason why this song is in my top 5 is because of the good memories it brings. I went to Florida for Christmas 2012, & whilst in Seaworld this song was playing. Hearing it takes me back to the sun & the good times!

'Santa Claus Is Gunning You Down' from Futurama

What's better than a murderous robot Santa? A song about a murderous robot Santa, that's what! Gotta love this little parody!

Well, that's it for my Christmas songs. Now it's time for an announcement:

As you're all probably aware, I've been very busy recently, what with Uni work & getting things sorted for Christmas. Unfortunately, I have a lot of Uni work to do over my Christmas holiday, so I'm putting the blog on hiatus until my hand in. After then it should be running as usual on a Monday (or Tuesday) & whenever possible on a Friday.

So that's that my readers. I'll fill you in when I return, but for now, I wish you all a merry Christmas & a happy new year!

See you in 2015! :)
