Fairytale of New York:
Andy sharp:I sat down with Andy and asked him why it was his favourite song for the December time. “Fairytale of New York is an icon of Christmas music during this time” asked him how the song makes him. “Puts me in a good mood in the festive spirit.” I asked him where he listens to it “mostly Christmas party, pubs and anything to get in the mood for the holiday.”
Leah Johnston:She mostly likes to “listen to fairytale of New York at the pub or a night out with friends and family.”
Skye Reilly:I asked Skye if there was a personal significance with the song and she replied with “I have attachment to the song from childhood and how it gets me in the mood for Christmas, it always lifts up the spirits and gets me through hard times and how it is such a classic Christmas song.”
In conclusion, the favourite Christmas songs of the college students not only highlight the diverse musical tastes with this age group but also serve as a soundtrack to cherished memories and traditions. These songs create a sense of community and joy during holiday season.
