what are your favorite 80's christmas songs, if any? or christmas songs done by 80's singers/groups?

i admit i don't know too many of them. i would like to discover more. [Smile]

here's a couple of mine:
The Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping

The Eurythmics - Winter Wonderland
(not sure if this song was released in the 80s but it totally sounds 80s). [Big Grin]

Another good one: Bob Seger's rendition of Little Drummer Boy, my favorite version of that tune.

Was Barry Manilow's Because It's Christmas released in the 80s, for the record? If so, that would also merit inclusion.

"Fairytale of New York" is one of the best Christmas songs ever.

Bob Seger's version of The Little Drummer Boy

Wham--Last Christmas (I hate the Glee version--I know a lot of people like it but I hate it)

Run DMC--Christmas in Hollis

Ray Charles--That Spirit of Christmas (so it may not have been released in the 80s, IDK, but it was in Christmas Vacation)
