I enjoyed running the game show eliminator earlier this year and thought it might be fun to do one for Christmas songs.
As we are only 2 weeks or so away from Christmas Day, I think we should keep this to a more manageable number of nominations rather than 100. And so please only nominate two songs. I'll probably let people pick extra ones if we're low on songs after a few days.
I'll keep the definition of a Christmas song relatively loose, pop, rock, classical, hymns are all acceptable. But it has to have something to do with the festive period, an X Factor number 1 isn't a Christmas song for instance.
There are songs that have been sung by more than one artist. This is about songs not artists and so a song will only be allowed on the list once. I'll add extra artists to the song nomination if there is demand.
I'll be looking to get around 25 songs for this one. But can expand that if loads of nominations come in, that might mean some days where there will be double/triple eliminations as I doubt anybody wants to be voting for Christmas songs in February.
Ok, let's open up the nominations! I'll start us off with my two:
1. Wham - Last Christmas (Moggy)
