Merry Christmas everyone :D
I know I had never heard that song Lodsie till I lived in the UK... popular bands doing Christmas songs is their thing.
My favourite is Fairytale of New York, closely followed by How to make the Gravey.

There a number of Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby songs that I would chuck in if I could find half decent versions.
And how could we leave out "Give her one for Christmas" by Sir Les Paterson?

Yep
Another glam rock group who were around the same time as Wizzard were Slade. Their best selling song was "Merry Christmas Everybody".
It's been re-released and covered ever since the 70's and was voted UK's most popular Christmas song in 2007.
Here's an Old Oz Ol'55 song..
