Wizzard - I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday

 

Which means that our favourite 1970s Christmas song, finishing with a total of 44 points, is I Believe In Father Christmas by Greg Lake from 1975

 

wow at Felice Navidad, a record that had zero radio plays in the UK until it started cropping up in the noughties, I;d never heard it in my life and I love Jose felciiano. Now it's everywhere! Right winner BTW! Elton not making the top 10 is a surprise!

 

Oops, I meant to vote in this, will try and remember for the next decades x

 

In Dulci Jubilo finishing that low is insulting, at least I wouldn't have changed it's placing that much. Wonderful winner though :heart:

Yeh Step Into Christmas not doing as well as I thought!

I'm glad that BuzzJack appreciates 'I Believe In Father Christmas' enough for it to have won here :wub: fabulous top 3 in general.

Linda Bennett - An Old Fashioned Christmas (Daddy's Home)

 

I love this song, don't why some blogs called it "Worst Christmas song ever".
