    2000 Miles by The Pretenders really makes it feel like Christmas.

    I also love the Sixpence None The Richer version of Silent Night and Step Into Christmas by Elton John.

    I play it every year - the only worthy successor to 'Merry Xmas Everybody' by Slade.

    Gary Glitter...

    I'll get my coat.

    Seriously though I love David Bowie and Bing Crosby's 'Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth' amongst several of the old favourites. Holidays are coming, Holidays are coming...the old Coke advert music rocks too.:D

    ^^^ this, times 1000.

    (Though I do have soft spots for Macca's "Wonderful Christmas Time", Shakey's "Merry Christmas Everyone" and Greg Lake's "I Believe In Father Christmas")

    Tim Minchin's sentimental song, White Wine in the Sun, is my new favourite Christmas song.

    Definitely Wizzard. THE Christmas song for me.

    Shakin Stevens and Mariah Carey claim 2nd and 3rd prize respectively.
