Favourite Christmas song and Christmas movie?

[PeppermintLatte]

What's yours?

Mine is Fairytale of New York, and favourite movie is Love Actually. I also love those cheesy made for tv Christmas movies

It's a wonderful life. Silent Night.

Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?um=1&hl=en&sa=N&biw=1366&bih=538&tbm=isch&tbnid=BUA9HBmPA38jrM:&imgrefurl=www.lovefilm.com/film/Rudolph-The-Red-Nosed-Reindeer-The-Movie/1793/&docid=fTg_ZZU8ekCsIM&imgurl=d12xmiixiuwp0c.cloudfront.net/lovefilm/images/products/3/1793-large.jpg&w=300&h=429&ei=99ODUPrnG4TI0QWWpICoBA&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=449&vpy=156&dur=79&hovh=269&hovw=188&tx=117&ty=254&sig=108772329801925683668&page=1&tbnh=137&tbnw=103&start=0&ndsp=24&ved=1t:429,r:11,s:0,i:102" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this one ,
Favourite song is also Fairytale of New York :)

What you said

Only Fairytale has to be the proper Pogues/McColl version and not that travesty by Ronan Fecking Keating.

Fantasia on Christmas Carols by Vaughan Williams.

My Fair Lady. It seemed to be on telly every year when I was a kid and I got all those frilly frothy costumes mixed up with snowflakes in my mind.

Elf

I don't like any christmas songs - doesn't stop me playing them though

Zat you Santa Claus - Louis Armstrong
Arthur Christmas AND Elf

Song: 'All I want for Christmas' - only Mariah Carey song I like. Always sing along no matter how many time I hear it.

Elf is also my favourite film.

Film choice is difficult - but we did watch National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation last week

I think movie choice I'm going to go with Home Alone....

Mariah's All I Want for Christmas & The Christmas Shoes.

I wouldn't advise watching the movie without some tissues handy!

Song: Fairy Tale of New York

Movie: Home Alone 1 and 2.

Very similar Peppermint - The Pogues Fairytale of New York & Love Actually & also It's a Wonderful Life

Watch both those movies every Christmas Eve eve & Christmas Eve itself without fail so can't choose between them!

Have been thinking again and my song choice might have changed - Tom Jones and Cerys Matthews singing Baby It's Cold Outside, or anything at all off the Boney M Christmas album.

Christmas Vacation

And, tbh, any of the 70s/80s Christmas songs, although I love O Holy Night (think Home Alone, Kevin going into the church).

O holy night
Miracle on 34th street or Arthur Xmas/elf.

Aaahhh "it's a wonderful life" a close second to "Love actually"

Kelly the christmas shoes is brutal! i sobbed for hours after it! have you seen the sequel to it? it's even worse!

other christmas songs i like -

anything by cliff
bing & bowie - little drummer boy
mariah - christmas, baby please come home
slade & wizard

there's too many to list, i love them all.

The Muppets' Christmas Carol.

and Wham! - Last Christmas. I want to live in the video for it, with all the apres ski and chunky knits and big hair.

i forgot about wham! who doesn't want to live in that video? it's so fabulously 80's.

I believe in Father Christmas = Greg Lake always loved it (Jona Lewie's Stop the Calvary is a close second tho.

Miracle on 34th Street definitely favorite film. The 1994 version with Richard Attenbough and Mara Wilson.

Nobody wants to be alone at Christmas and elf or home alone!

Oh charlotte you sound like me, as a 15 year old I used to wish I was grown up and spending Christmas like the Wham video. I used to think it was so sophisticated....

My friend and I had identical brooches like the one in the video....

I now work about an hour away from the location of the "Wham" chalet, in Saas Fe, but no-one wants to go with me there...

Wham - Last Christmas/Mariah Carey - All I want for christmas is you.

Nativity!/Polar Express

I believe in Father Christmas-Greg Lake

Muppet Christmas Carol genius film

Special mentions should go to;

Santa Claus is coming to town-the Jackson 5, Little drummer boy-Bowie/Bing and The power of love- Frankie goes to hollywood.

The Santa Clause, It's a wonderful life, and Elf.

Film: Bad Santa! This year we'll be looking forward to a family viewing of that festive special; Prometheus!

Song - Fairytale of New York and Grandma got run over by a reindeer

Film - Love Actually and Nativity
