What's your favourite Xmas song?

[MontyVeda]

since they get over played every year, it's more a case of least despised rather than a firm favourite. Slade's here it is merry Christmas is enjoyable the first fifty times, as is Wizzard (above).

Jethro Tull's solstice song is good, but seldom gets played on the radio..

...but their A Christmas Song is bloody dire (sorry @Drago)

Inevitably Fairytale of NY has been getting played a lot, I can't remember the station it was on but they played a version which censored 'slut', but not 'faggot', which seemed odd.

The pogues and Fairy tale of New York of course.

FFS no !!! - not a bad song - but its cult status deived from really boring people who look on there mundane miserable existence - and thing "I ll be a bit out there" and like a punk record because they swear in it.
The song itself is bang average.

Might not be popular view but the pogues are right down at the bottom of my Christmas song list.

Tell it like it is why don't you. Seriously, don't be bashful or hold back.

I believe in Father Christmas - Greg Lake
It'll Be Lonely This Christmas - Mud
Santa Claus is Back in Town - Elvis

A perfect Xmas, musically, would be to hear all of those just once, and then it all be done and dusted.

I remember hearing this as a child and thinking it was by Elvis

Are you serious, it's not punk.

Mine too...it's the way every time its played on radio the DJ chips in with the tagline " this is the greatest Christmas song ever"

Like why ? Because the singer says "slut' ?

I do think the tide is turning though - I expect one Christmas soon everyone will go " actually it's a bit shoot" !

One out of three ain't bad.

Meanwhile, this is rather splendid

None of them! I hate schmaltzy Christmas music.

(Dunno what the word schmaltzy means but it seems to describe Christmas music.)

True, it's worse than that even.
