Probably been done,but hey-ho.. Best Christmas songs of all time!

[merrylissiemas]

The Pogues, Fairytale of New York

closely followed by

John Lennon, Merry Christmas (War is Over)

Elton John-Step into Christmas
or
Shakin' Stevins-Merry Christmas Everyone

I prefer the more partyish tunes!

And how is Mull of Kintyre deemed a christmas tune?
It was in the countdown for the Nations Favourite Christmas tunes today.

lol

I would second those two. Plus I know its been played to death but Slade's Merry Christmas! I love Noddy Holder shouting 'Its Christmas!!'

i like the kirsty mccoll version of fairytaleof new york. best christmas song for me...

I grew up listening to Slade! My dad was a big Glam rocker!
Let's not forget Wizzard!!

I love the John Lennon one.

Also like A Spaceman Came Travelling

Wombling Merry Christmas for me! Reminds me of my childhood Christmases.

Also, Fairytale of New York and much of the Phil Spector Christmas Album (even though he's a complete w*nker).

Another vote for Fairytale of New York here, closely followed by A Spaceman Came Travelling - beautful song. My favourite religious one is Oh Holy Night. Not that I'm remotely religious though.

which one was "a spaceman came a travelling"?

i loved the wombles!

Chris de Burgh

Jonah Lewie-Stop The Cavalry. Yes to Fairytale of New York. Also love Bing's White Christmas - am unashamed fan of old films

Oh Christmaspresence, I used to be in a majorette troupe and we made up a routine to Wombling Merry Christmas .

the ronan keating cover of fairytale of new york was horrendous!

Yes love the Phil Spector album. Especially the bit with the horse whinnying on Ronettes version of sleigh ride!

except think it is probably suppposed to be a reindeer!

last christmas
driving home for christmas
fairy tale in new york

oooh,last christmas is agreat song!

shameless bump

I love the song O Holy Night - the version by Il Divo is brilliant but could never outdo the version by Pavarotti.

I also like:

Do they know it's christmas - Band Aid
White Christmas - Otis Redding
Fairytale of New York - The Pogues

There are plenty more but can't think at the minute xx

Fairytale of New York- Love it

Oh Holy Night- makes me blart on xmas morning- any version of it gets me going

ds is 2y8m and was singing away in a manger last night, made me cry

.

My top festive three (in no particular order):-

Christmas Wrapping by the Waitresses

Fairytale of New York by Kirsty McColl (sadly deceased) and the Pogues

Stop the cavalry by Jona Lewie

The Power of Love -Frankie Goes to Hollywood

Another vote for Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses (Bah, humbug! - best Crimbo opening line of all time!)

Also like Last Christmas by Wham because it's so ridiculously soppy, and The Power of Love because it makes me cry...
