What are your top three Christmas Songs? Just that.

[CrystalSingerFan]

Last year, a lovely MN person started a thread suggesting people posted their top 3 favourite Christmas songs. No explanations, just three songs.

As my little town had its Christmas light switch-on ceremony this evening, I reckon it's time to start this year's list. Go, MN-etters! Mine are...

1. Glee version of 'I Need a Little Christmas Now'

1. Tim Minchin's 'Drinking White Wine in the Sun'.

1. Trans-Siberian Orchestra, “Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24” (1996)

Carol of the Bells

I Believe In Father Christmas by Greg Lake
Gaudete by Steeleye Span
It’s Clichéd To Be Cynical At Christmas by Half Man Half Biscuit

I have a sneaky soft spot for
All I Want for Christmas is You
and the Ariana Grande one from a few years ago which is basically counterpoint to it.

But nothing can beat the line from Bono:
”Tonight thank God it’s them instead of you!”

O Holy Night
Ave Maria (Beyoncé version)
Hallelujah

Fairytale of New York - pouges
Merry Christmas Everyone- shakin Stevens
Christmas in Killarney- the Irish Rovers version.

Hard question though. I adore Christmas music. Also any carol played by a good brass band.

Does Rachel Read know it's Christmas. I just wrote it.

Fairytale of New York
White Christmas
Christmas Through Your Eyes

Driving home for Christmas
Last Christmas
The Christmas Song

Queen - Thank God it's Christmas
Carol of the Bells
500 Miles - The Pretenders

Silver Bells - Bing Crosby or Dean Martin version
Last Christmas -Wham!
Stay Another Day -East17

When I hear Wizzard on the car radio then I really know it's Christmas! No idea why I like that one, probably because it's been around longer than me, for every Christmas I remember!

Same of course could be said of Slade, Johnny Mathis, David and Bing etc!
