A Very Iron Maiden Christmas

[Diesel 11]

A little chat in the Official Rankings thread got me thinking and leads me to this question: Over the holidays, are there any Maiden songs that you seem drawn to more than others? Are there any that hold emotional meanings to you with regards to the period, are there some that embody the spirit of it, or are there are that you just like to listen to more than at other times in the year?

Curious to hear this!

Another Rock 'N' Roll Christmas is always on my Christmas playlist on my iPod. And a fantastic cover it is too.

Dickinson's cover of The Zoo, by Scorpions - originally written by Rudolf, after all...

Anything off Dance of Death because an early xmas present for me in 2013 was Maiden tickets from my Dad - 1st time I saw them when I was 13

The entire Powerslave album because my mother bought it for me as a Christmas gift when I was 17. Hard to believe it was twenty one years ago today. In honor of that occassion this is the third year in a row that I listened to the entire Powerslave album on Christmas Day. Its a Christmas tradition for me which I revived here in China to mark the occassion.
Merry Christmas everyone and up the Irons!

"Mother Russia"... snow is falling on that song! (besides, the bells on "BYDTTS" forebade it)

The older you get, the more Christmas is about the kids and I generally don't get too excited about presents for myself.

However... I remember getting Eddie's Archive under the tree one year. My wife said I reverted back into a 6 year old as I tore off the wrapping paper with feverish intensity. Brilliant Christmas, that was.

I remember a great Christmas back in 2004. I got SIT and Killers. I basically had them on a loop whilst playing GTA San Andreas!
