There are so many fantastic Christmas songs that I have to add another one. Song #24 1/2 of my 25 Days of Christmas Songs is The Kinks’ Father Christmas.

Father Christmas was released in 1977, a magical year for me. Despite the seemingly anti-Christmas appearance – a gang of kids beating up a department store Father Christmas and telling him to give them money instead of gifts – at its heart is the spirit of Christmas: the spirit of giving.

Have yourself a Merry, Merry Christmas
Have yourself a good time
But remember the kids who got nothin’
While you’re drinkin’ down your wine
