Tom Dunne: Great songs to bring the Christmas cheer 

There's no shortage of schmaltz on the airwaves, but there's also a surprising amount of super seasonal tunes out there 

Noddy Holder, Phoebe Bridgers, and John Lennon are among the many artists who've released Christmas-themed songs.

It’s hard to be an indie music fan at Christmas. You are torn between on the one hand, maintaining your cool indie credentials, and on the other, not being a weirdo. You don’t want to be reduced to listening to Cure albums in your room while downstairs the party is in full swing.

“Is he in his room again listening to those weird albums?” someone will ask, but the sounds of Ed Sheeran wafting up the stairs only makes you turn up the volume on ‘Head on The Door’. It develops into a stand off until finally your children cry in unison, “Ah come down, Da, It’s Christmas Day, FFS!”
