    Why dont you giiiiive your lovvvvve, fooooooooooooor christmaaaaas :D

    Ahhh this puts me so much in the Christmas mood. :D

    Also love:

    Merry Christmas Everybody - Slade
    Last Christmas - Wham
    I Believe in Father Christmas - Greg Lake
    Do They Know It's Christmas - Band Aid
    Happy X-mas (War is Over) - John & Yoko
    Step Into Christmas - Elton John
    Stop the Cavalry - Jona Lewie
    All I Want For Christmas - Mariah Carey
    It's Only Christmas - Ronan Keating

    Any of these make me really Christmassy. Although the last one is depressing.

    As far as I'm concerned, I Believe In Father Christmas and Fairytale of New York are the best and nothing can touch them.

    Special mention to Bowie and Bing, though :D

    I'd like War Is Over more if it didn't have Yoko's appalling catwail on it.

    Some others that are never played are The Christmas Song by Gilbert O'Sullivan, Thank God It's Christmas by Queen and the wonderful Troika by Sky.

    Christmas Time(Don't let the bells end) by The Darkness.
    An absolute travesty that it was kept from the Christmas number one by the Mad World cover.
