Which Rock Star/Band gives you the biggest Christmas Vibe?
Every Holiday Season, for some reason unknown to me, David Bowie goes into heavy rotation in my car, house and head.

I don't know if it's because of the famous Christmas duet with Bing Crosby, or the copy of "Heroes" that an old girlfriend once gave me as a Christmas gift. Maybe it's because he was in "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence" or his penchant for fluffy sweaters and scarves.

Which Rock act screams Christmas to you?

1. I got Heroes that Christmas too
In the show with Bing, they showed the video for "Heroes" I remember.

I can't think of just one right off the bat. It used to be Elvis, but it would be because I played the Christmas albums. John Lennon does, because of the song and the time of the year he was murdered.

That's one thing I do miss about Christmas from the past, getting record albums every year. You could always tell what presents under the tree were mine. :)

2. The Kinks
When I was small I believed in santa claus
Though I knew it was my dad
And I would hang up my stocking at christmas
Open my presents and Id be glad

But the last time I played father christmas
I stood outside a department store
A gang of kids came over and mugged me
And knocked my reindeer to the floor

They said:
Father christmas, give us some money
Dont mess around with those silly toys.
Well beat you up if you dont hand it over
We want your bread so dont make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

Dont give my brother a steve austin outfit
Dont give my sister a cuddly toy
We dont want a jigsaw or monopoly money
We only want the real mccoy

Father christmas, give us some money
Well beat you up if you make us annoyed
Father christmas, give us some money
Dont mess around with those silly toys

But give my daddy a job cause he needs one
Hes got lots of mouths to feed
But if youve got one, Ill have a machine gun
So I can scare all the kids down the street

Father christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
Well beat you up if you dont hand it over
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

Have yourself a merry merry christmas
Have yourself a good time
But remember the kids who got nothin
While youre drinkin down your wine

Father christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
Well beat you up if you dont hand it over
We want your bread, so dont make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys
