15 Alternative Christmas Songs That Will Still Make You Feel Festive
Who needs Mariah bloody Carey?
It's that glorious time of year when everyone is forced to put up with their family because theyre trapped in a room together for the entire day. Only excessive alcohol and the occasional back-handed comment about an unwanted gift can get you through it. Sadly, the soundtrack to this bickering is usually the same old dirge thats regurgitated by whoever's in charge of the music every year. Are you sick of the sound of warble-voiced lunatic Mariah Carey screech her way through All I Want For Christmas?
Do you ache to remove the vocal chords of balloon-faced crooner Michael Buble and his ubiquitous schmoozing of the Christmas market? Perhaps you just fancy a change from the same sickly repetitive poison thats poured into your delicate little ears every Christmas? We love you, Noddy Holder, but no. No more! Wizzard, if your wish came true and it was Christmas every day, wed all be fat alcoholics ready to bludgeon a family member, and wed all be skint causing total economic meltdown.
Its just not practical. So with that in mind, its time to change the record. Hopefully the following fifteen tracks will offer a bit of a change to the bog-standard fare that Christmas has been lumbered with. And theyll still make you feel as Christmassy as ever.
