An Unwanted Gift/ Dragonette - Merry Xmas (Says Your Text Message) - one of the few i knew already, this is very good - quite an affecting vocal to narrate a 2007 melodrama
Ed Milliband/ Celtic Woman - Carol of the Bells - this was delightful, after all for me Christmas is all about screaming
Nigella's Christmas Kitchen/ Pantha du Prince - Es Schneit (It's Snowing) - i get it, i just don't want it
The Bedswell Tundra/ Alan Jackson - Please Daddy (Don't Get Drunk This Christmas) - very judgemental song from the perspective of an annoying child - maybe he drinks because you never let him sleep?
A White Christmas/ Todd Terje - Inspector Norse - well i guess i wasn't shopping in New Look in 2012 because i had never heard this before. want to get pushed out of a moving car to this.
The Gävle Goat/ Emmy The Great & Tim Wheeler - Home for the Holidays - i understand that straight people celebrate Christmas too and i have honestly always been an advocate for this - you guys are so sweet sometimes
Caga tió/ Maria Mena - Home For Christmas - i know this singer and she's
always upset
Little Drummer Boy/ J Soul Brothers from Exile Tribe - Rat-Tat-Tat - not music
Sprouts/ Jennifer Saran - Sweetest Christmas - you just know that two hours and a bottle of white wine later she was slumped by the window, glasses resting on the edge of her nose, single teardrop falling down her face. mummys depressed...
Christmas Island Red Crab/ Valerie Sassyfras - Christmas Party - i know i should like this but i found it too spooky. this is a song that hides behind your curtain in a christmas horror movie that Buttertart ranks #87 on his list of christmas horror movies.
Artisan Mince Pie/ Bjorn Again - Love's Not Just For Christmas - i do like this but it's always hard for returning acts to make their mark again
Clementine/ Tarkan - Yolla - i really appreciate the direction this poster took us, thank you for the eurovision interlude
WHOEVER INVENTED CHRISTMAS SHOULD BE NAILED TO A FUCKING CROSS/ Low - Just Like Christmas - a real keeper for me, i also think the name of the sponsor is a perfect accompaniment
Delia Smith/ Sally Shapiro - Anorak Christmas - so damn cute
Lump of Coal/ Set It Off - This Christmas (I'll Burn It To The Ground) - if Sally was heaven this is...
Jack & Jill Christmas/ Dead or Alive - Blue Christmas 2000 - weird that this
should work and yet here you are, with no points from me

Muppet Ghost of Christmas Past/ Majestica - Ghost of Christmas Past - how dare you!
Prawn Ring/ The Sisters of Mercy - Driven Like the Snow - how dare you! (part 2: the remix)

Netflix Fireplace/ Linneah - Season's Greetings - this gave proper lols - a masterclass in portraying a terrible christmas
The Holy Spirit/ Within Temptation - Pale - i see what you did there poster, and i am respecting you and i am backing you
Sarah Cawood presents TOTP Christmas/ Paloma Faith & Gregory Porter - Christmas Prayer - apart from Verona, name me one duet that has ever actually worked. quickly.

Gremlin In Xmas Tree/ Cherylyn Barnes - It’s All A Lie (Xmas Song) - good luck to you
The Ghost Of Christmas Present aka The Scrooged Fairy/ Hurts - All I Want For Christmas is New Year's Day - good, but quite knowing.
Billy From Black Christmas/ The Primitives - You Trashed My Christmas - i had never heard this before and i will keep this forever! This is why i love doing this competition, for finds like this.
Lovely Baubles/ Mrs Mills - Don't Bring Lulu - this is quite gammony
Pingu's Igloo/ Foals - In Degrees - Purple Disco Machine Remix - good but there are two other dance songs that have swallowed you up

Sexy Jesus/ Pan Amsterdam - Carrot Cake - this stands out with a delightful vocal and video
Festive Lesbian Yellow Sour Fruit/ Passion Fruit - I'm Dreaming of… a White Christmas - clubbing in Austria and everyone is upset (and dead)
Lisa Scott-Lee Religious Festival Candle/ The Fizz - Amen - maybe slightly too good? it definitely stands out and is another keeper.
