Top 20 Christmas Songs.

So, this morning, I decided it was high time I made my Christmas playlist on Spotify. Generally I hate Christmas, but I do love the food, the drink and the amazing music that comes with it. Which brings me to my Top 20 Christmas Hits. There were no real criteria for this list; originally I was going to insist that they had to directly mention the festive season, but I broke my own rule. Obviously you probably won't agree with this list, and there are a multitude of reasons why these tracks have made the cut. Go write your own list if you're that bothered. Don't judge me for #1 - I genuinely believe it is the best Christmas song EVER written.
