I'm not religious in any way, but mine is "Oh Holy Night"
When I was younger I remember sitting in church with my grandfather at midnight mass one Christmas Eve. The cathedral was lit up only by candles and the heating wasn't working so I was snuggled up next to my Grandad, who was crying because of the song. The choir sang Oh Holy Night with no musical accompaniment, and it just filled that big cathedral with warmth. I felt so safe and secure.
He passed away the next day, but every time I hear that song I am reminded of that moment we had together.

I have so many favorite Christmas songs that I cannot come up with any ONE favorite at the moment (although "O Holy Night" ranks up there).
Okay, I kind of like "OY! To the World" by Saving Ferris.
However, I just wanted to write a response because your story is so beautiful and bittersweet! What a lovely memory you have of your grandfather, and that beautiful a capella version of the song "O Holy Night." Thank you so much for sharing this lovely memory! I hope you and your family have a wonderful and blessed Merry Christmas!

Hard to pick a favourite but two of my fave christmas carols is Silent Night and Little donkey (so soothing, like lullabys) I also like We wish you a merry Christmas, simple but catchy. As for christmas songs in the charts(don't think these type of tunes where what you are talking about but I will add them anyway) Santa Baby, George Michaels "last Christmas" and Shakin Steven's "Merry Christmas " are some of my favourites although its hard to choose, such a shame we don't seem to get any original new Christmas tunes released anymore. Seems like all the catchy novelty Christmas tunes/songs have stopped many of the classics now being from the 60's, 70's and 80's/ early nineties. I always find playing a CD of the traditional carol songs really makes the atmosphere feel alot more Christmassey and they remind me of when I was a young child at school performing in the choir and in the annual Nativity play.

Oh Holy Night is one of my favourite christmas songs - the music is just wonderful,
but,
Little Drummer Boy by Bing and David Bowie is also one of my favourites.
and,
Fairy Tale of New York is a must at christmas.
then,
White Christmas is also a biggy,
also,
Solstice Bells by Jethro Tull.
Not forgetting
In Dulci Jubilato by Mike Oldfield
and Finally
Stop the Calvery by Jona Lewie and I Beleive in Father Christmas by Greg Lake

In the Bleak Mid Winter, not a really Christmas song, but just listen to the words

Silent Night.... sends shivers down me timbers... it's very mellow... of course I prefer it when a choir sings in tune rather than the kids at the local primary school who cannot hold a note.

It's got to be 'Fairytale of New York' by Kirsty Macoll and The Pogues. Any xmas song that contains the line 'you cheap lousy ******' is ok by me
