MK - Christmas Connections?

[Jules]

Winters covers between December and February. I think that mentioning winter is not enough to think about Christmas as a connection.

If we are going to be picky about it, Winter is actually December to March....
Advent is the end of November to 24th December, Christmas is 25th December to 6th January so the mention of winter alone is good with me...

Lol

Whatever works for you,

So with many contributions the MK 'Christmas/Winter Playlist looks like this so far....

What it is,
Corned Beef City,
One more Matinee,
5.15am,
Vic & Ray,
Skydiver,
Yon Two Crows,
River Towns,
Hard Shoulder,
Radio City Serenade,
The Ragpickers Dream,
Hard Shoulder,
Matchstick Man,
Secondary Waltz,
Old Pigweed,
After the Beanstalk

Exactly my playlist.

Just hearing Seattle and it fits perfectly for Christmas even it has nothing to do with it

I guess anything from MK can fit in with Christmas depending on one's mood?!

In the interview for The Ragpicker's Dream album and about the title track in particular Mark said it's his ultimate topic and what he's music is about — human dignity. He said everybody deserves to get a Christmas gift, so in a way yes, any MK song could qualify for Christmas just by design

JF, that article is just perfect - well done. It is written just how we've been discussing it. Thanks to those who have contributed to making this an exciting thread and I think we have collectively produced an awesome MK Chrimbo playlist!!
'Merry Knopflermas to all'

Love and Happiness - that works with that lovely Christmassy photo montage. It just proves like I said earlier I reckon most Knopfler tunes would work at Christmas time...

Shame we didn't have any Love and Happiness on this forum earlier today...
