12 days of Xmas: Day 2 – My favourite festive songs!

Hi everyone! On today’s day of Xmas I thought I’d share with you my favourite festive tunes! 🎵 What is Christmas without a song playing in the background or being carried over from a distance? I don’t really know either!..🙄😂 Memories are made by these songs and even just writing this brings a smile to my face when I remember some of them! 😆 The year before last when I was Christmas shopping with my dad we were in an underground carpark and Santa drove in blasting Robbie Williams – Millennium and it was absolutely hilarious as he waved to us and acted all cool 😂 not exactly a festive tune 😕 but a merry moment all the same that I don’t think I will ever forget! 😂   

I’ve tried to put as many of my favourites as I can think of down on this list but I know that I’ve left out a few that I love especially the ones that always comes on the radio but I don’t know what they are called! 😣 The frustration is real 😂 Here are my favourite festive songs I hope you love them too! (They are in no particular order although Step into Christmas is my favourite and just so happened to be the first one I could think of….so in slight particular order here we go! 🙈😂).
