Fairytale of New York has to be one of my all-time favourite Christmas songs. Some people call it an anti-Christmas song, but I think it's just honest. We don't all get to have picture-perfect holidays every year, but that doesn't mean they're not worthy of song. And what a song! The call and response is so fun, Kirsty MacColl's voice is the prettiest thing ever, and the juxtaposition of a jaunty tune with devastatingly sad lyrics is just perfect. Sadly, Shane MacGowan, frontman of The Pogues, passed away just last week, but the music lives on. And for those familiar with the controversy surrounding the lyrics of this song, we used "haggard" as our substitution.
I'm so spoiled to be joined by always lovely u/BonSoirAnxiety for this Christmas duet, and I hope everyone enjoys the song! And if you'd like to share your own favourite seasonally-themed song, go check out this month's challenge!
The bells are ringing out for Christmas day
