What is the best Christmas song of all time?

I say the Pogues with Fairytale of New York. Absolute Belter.

I'm by no means a Cliff Richard fan, but Mistletoe & Wine is one that always sticks in my mind as a good Christmas song.

Yeah that one also sticks out for some reason, dont know why.

But the best one which i think is Chris Rea - Driving Home For Christmas.

Its excellent blasting loud in the car when you are actually driving home for christmas and its all snowy etc

Merry Christmas

Yeah the Pogues number is kind of a great christmas anthem isnt it?Great singalong of a pile of Christmas classics on Friday night at a disco I was at-seeing a crowd of thousands of 14-17 year olds singing along to tunes by the likes of the Pogues and Slade from decades ago shows that these classics will be around for a while yet.
P.S-Is it just me or are there no real new Christmas anthems anymore?The likes of RTobbie Williams may have reached number 1 but even if ppl did sing this song at Christmas 20 years time i doubt itd be the robbie williams version they would be thoinking of would it?There hasnt really been a proper Christmas tune since the Pogues,and that must be at least a decade old.For some reason the late 70s-80s was the decade of the Christmas tunes.

Greg Lake - I believe in father Christmas

Bing Crosby - White Christmas

Can anyone tell me the name of this song and the arist.

Its a happy party song and the main chorus goes something like this:

Merry christmas merry christmas, but i think ill miss this one this year,

merry christmas merry christmas, but i think ill miss this one this year

etc etc etc...

Its a really happy party tune and a woman sings it, who is it? Any ideas please?

Cheers

Would agree with the Pogues song, pulls at the heartstrings.

Also Fountains of Wayne's 'I Want An Alien For Christmas' is excellent.

I want to know what's it called as well

Silent Night by The Dickies

My fave's are:

Let it Snow by Dean Martin
Lonely Pup by Adam Faith
White Christmas by Bing Crosby
The Christmas Song by Ella Fitzgerald
Blue Christmas by Willie Nelson

Another great one is 'Christmas wrapping' by the Waitresses.

think it's the one i just mentioned, christmas wrapping.

The Pogues/ Kirsty McColl - best xmas song by miles

Greg Lake - I believe in Father Christmas and Jona Lewie - Stop The Cavalry are belters also

Also anything off Phil Spector's Christmas album

Jonathan Ross played some less obvious Christmas stuff on his brilliant R2 show on Saturday including a hip- hop track from Run DMC I think -can anybody tell me what its called and what CD I wwould find it on
As SHAKY!!!! once said
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!

My favs are:

Wham - Last Christmas
East 17 - Stay Another Day
Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas
Spice Girls - Christmas Wrapping

I WISH IT COULD BE CRISTMAS EVERY DAY BY WIZZARD
MERRY CHRISTMAS BY SLADE
BLUE CHRISTMAS BY ELVIS

Thats the one i was after. Thanks Lee and Hutchio

Merry Christmas

As people have already said, it is "Christmas Wrappin'" by the Waitresses & the Spice Girls did a cover version of it.

That song is about 20 years old believe it or not!

As Covers go......i think the spice girls cover of christmas wrapping is pretty good!

I think i will have to agree with you there.


Its probably one of the better covers of an already good song

Merry Xmas

Chris rea,driving home for christmas.
Stevie nicks, Silent night.
Mistletoe and wine by Cliff richard.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
