What are your favourite Christmas songs?

A couple that always make me feel 'Christmassy' are....

Jonah Lewie - "Stop the Cavalry"

Paul McCartney with 'Wings' - 'Simply having a wonderful Christmas time"

My favourite might be that music that I can't remember (or don't know) the name of.
It's the music that's the theme music for the Woody Allen film "Love and Death".
Kind of Russian classical music sounding, don't know if it is though.

those 2 are good choices plus Greg Lake's song about snow at christmas with the video of him in the desert.
Roy Wood and Slade are good choices too.....

'Last Christmas' by Wham!

'All I Want For Christmas Is You' by Mariah Carey

'Do They Know It's Christmas?' - Band Aid - ONLY THE ORIGINAL WILL DO - ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES

And a very under rated one, that isn't played much, is 'New Year' by The Sugababes

Wizzard - I wish it could be Christmas every day
Eartha Kitt - Santa Baby
Mariah Carey - All I want for Christmas is You

I must be one of the only people who can't stand Feed The World - sounds like it was written in about 5 minutes (which I seem to remember that it was).

my favourite Christmas songs are:

1) Stay Another Day, East 17. it's the best song EVER and because i was a East 17 fan, plus it's the only song i remember from them.

2) Band Aid & Band Aid 20, Do They Know It's Christmas

3) Jona Lewie, Stop The Cavelry (dum a dum a dum dum)

4)Paul McCartney & Wings, Simply Having A Wonderful Christmas Time

5) Slade (the one where he screams 'it's christmas near the end) i can't remember the title because there is so many other christmas songs featuring the word 'christmas'.

Extract from a film site
"Woody Allen's 1975 Love and Death is an homage to classic Russian music, literature and films. Dealing with such weighty topics as love and death, Allen chose music that is highly dramatic and moving.
Consequently, most of the music used is the film is from Russian composer Sergey Prokofiev. Moviegoers will recognize Prokofiev's Lieutenant Kije suite and the Alexander Nevsky Cantata. "
