A good choice, but I'm a bit schmaltzy with Christmas songs...

Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping - "What you forgot Cranberry too?" - Great song!
Wham - Last Christmas - Love the video and the lines "Now I know what I fool I've been, but if you kissed me now, I know you'd fool me again" stab like a knife every time!
Slade - Merry Christmas Everybody - I said to my mum last week, whenever I hear the lines "Does your grandma always tell you the old songs are the best, then she's up and rock and rolling with the rest" - It reminds me of her mum when we used to visit a neighbours for a new year's party every year!

Although my favourite Xmas music is "A Christmas Gift for You from Phil Spector".

Just heard this on the radio - never heard it before even though it's from 1986! A Gibb brothers song performed by a group of Welsh session musicians. I thought it was Abba when I first heard it:

As mentioned in another thread, Christmas single by Big Big Train:

Gaudete by Steeleye Span as mentioned above. Probably my favourite 'traditional' Christmas song:

And can't leave out Last Christmas. George really did write some great tunes. Has to be the Pudding Mix version though!:

Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence(Heart of Asia) ......wait, i might not be doing this right.


Santa Claus is Coming to Town -The Boss, just for the fact he seemed to be having fun doing it.

A Winters Tale - David Essex,not sure its a Bona fida Christmas tune, but I only put it on at this time of year

I believe in Father Christmas - Greg Lake, not Christmas in my house without this nor Happy Christmas(war is over), but you only wanted 3....
