My Cool Christmas Playlist

Hey everyone!
Apologizes for being radio silent for a few months but I've been busy with my new job at Harrods. Now Christmas is only 7 days away and let's face it we all love a good Christmas song. But for those who like Christmas but can't bring themselves to listen to Wham! this playlist is for you.
I've found all these songs and have been listening to them to get in the Christmas spirit....

1. Peace- Last Christmas.
This is definitely my favourite cover of this song and means you can listen to Wham! and still be cool...

2. Bastille- O Holy Night.
Now this is one of my all time favourite Christmas songs ever and I love all covers and interpretations of it but Bastille bring something completely new to this tradition song. I also love the sound bites from Home Alone... very Kanye/Jay Z. Short and sweet this cover is fabulous.

3. Lily Allen- Somewhere Only We Know.
This has only become a Christmas song because of the tear jerking, heart warming John Lewis advert called the Bear and the Hare. It's so lovely and Lily brings her unique voice to it.

4. Swim Deep- Sycamore 
So NME just released this tune by my summer band, it's a Christmas song, yes, but don't expect Christmas trees and mistletoe... maybe just watch the video which reflects on a great year from this new up and coming band.

5. Bon Jovi- I Wish Everyday Could Be Like Christmas 
This is amazing. Nothing else needs to be said really.

6. Dandy Warhols- Little Drummer Boy
This descriptions of the songs are getting shorter as I get more excited for Christmas.

7. The Pogues- Fairytale Of New York
This is a classic and it's not a proper Christmas till my Irish uncle John leaves a drunken voice mail of his rendition of this very song.

So that's my short and sweet Christmas playlist, hope you enjoy.
I'll be blogging more in the New Year.
Have a great Christmas everyone!
