    Getting very tough now. Not mad about 'A Spaceman Came Travelling' but I'd happy enough with any if the rest of these winning.



    Slade - Merry Christmas Everybody VS Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas - it may ot have aged well but at least the intentions were good.

    The Pogues and Kirsty McCall - Fairytale of New York VS John Lennon and Yoko Ono - Happy Christmas (War Is Over) - not jumping on the "anything but FoNY" bandwagon because it is a great song....on the other hand, its also the most predictable winner, and I really like War Is Over as well.

    Chris De Burgh - A Spaceman Came Travelling VS Dean Martin - Let it Snow - Yes, let it snow indeed.

    Wizzard - I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday VS Andy Williams - It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year - I couldn't tell you a single other song by Wizzard so I like to imagine that they formed just for that song and then disappeared like magic (or like wizards, if you will! )

    M1 : Slade because it fun
    M2 : The Pogues for reasons given previously
    M3 : Dean over Chris this round because as much as I love Spaceman, Let It Snow is a Christmas morning kinda song
    M4 : Wizzard although I don't wish it was Christmas every day, it is my favourite time of the year & I love everything about Xmas (well except putting up decorations, hate the effort of that)

    Blame Necro. Most of us just copy and paste what he writes.

    And Necro will tell you to blame whoever nominated because he just copy and pastes from the PMs.

    NO SUCH SONG AS MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY BY SLADE
    THEY ARE ELIMINATED AND PREVIOUS OPPONENTS REINSTATED

    If we're being pedantic it's actually called "Merry Xmas Everybody".

    By Elvis Presley. :p

    Blame Necro you say

    I am enjoying this game
    But Jona Lewie was eliminated (shame!)
    Necro is the person to blame
    LeVar Burton and I agree on same!

    (Maybe LeVar Burton didn't EXACTLY say that buuuut!

    Driving Home for Christmas - Chris Rea?
    Last Christmas - Wham?
    Santa Claus is coming to town - Bruce Springsteen?
    White Christmas - Bing Crosby?

    Driving home was knocked out by Wizzard in the last round

    Wham is still going, ditto Bruce

    Bing Crosby lost a tiebreak vote against, ironically - Bing Crosby. :pac::pac::pac:

    Slade - Merry Christmas Everybody VS Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas - Timeless classic beats overplayed bore hands down!

    The Pogues and Kirsty McCall - Fairytale of New York VS John Lennon and Yoko Ono - Happy Christmas (War Is Over) - Both overplayed but this one still has a bit of magic about it.

    Chris De Burgh - A Spaceman Came Travelling VS Dean Martin - Let it Snow - The better of the two.

    Wizzard - I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday VS Andy Williams - It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year - See above! Incidentally, Wizzard did have some other hits, for the poster in question! Best known would be See my Baby Jive.
