1 Don't Let the Bells End - Darkness
2 has the line 'What you forgot cranberries too?' and is about people who keep missing each other. I think...
5 I can sing but I don't know what it is called. It has the refrain 'Ring out ye bells'. I think.
9 is Merry Christmas Everyone - Shakin Stevens?

Oh gosh, I'm so bad at your quizzes, I don't know why I embarrass myself by commenting!

4 is Slade, 7 is Mud, 9 is Shaking Stevens. The rest, no idea!

No guesses as to which decade I was a teenager in!

Since a lot of the others I know have already been guessed, I shall add that number 10 is Little Drummer Boy as sung by the sublime Bing Crosby and the rather delicious David Bowie.

And why do I never get described as "sublime" or "delicious" ... ? ;-)

(And yes, it is - well done!)
