The Pogues and Kirsty McColl - Fairytale in New York
I just love the words to it, It always makes me smile when I hear it. I know its Christmas when I hear that one.
My favourite traditional song is Silent Night, it gives me goose bumps when I hear it.

Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas?
A great reminder that there are some in the world that will live in poverty and inhumane conditions over Christmas.
East 17 - Stay Another Day
It's on all the Christmas albums in the UK even though the song itself has nothing to do with Christmas. The link with Christmas is the fact it was the 1994 UK Christmas no.1. Even so, I just think it's a great song. It reminds me of my nan who passed away a few years ago.

"Happy Christmas (War is Over)" by John Lennon
At the time I thought that's what Christmas was all about. Now, being less naive, I realise that's what Christmas should be about and "Peace on Earth" should be more than a cliche.
A close second is "Peace on Earth / Little Drummer Boy" by Bing Crosby and David Bowie. It brough together two generations with different styles of music. Alas, it's not the spirit of Christmas anymore. Was it ever?

ooh too many
Fairytale in Newyork because I love Shane McGowan and Kirsty McCall and I'm Irish
The first Noel because my friends name is Noelle and in school during the Christmas concerts everyone used to give her a push when we got to the chorus
Anything by Bing Crosby and co.
and I love the Christmas song from Love Actually that Bill Nighy sings.

Fairytale of New York By The Pogues & Kirsty McColl. I love it because it reminds me of when i went to NYC for Christmas & i was stood on Times Square outside the NYPD station & this song came on my Ipod & it was snowing so it reminds me of an amazing trip & i'm always brought back to that moment when i hear that song

Silver Bells by Kate Smith - she just really knows how to belt out a song and I just love the words and sentiment of this song. She also sings a great "God Bless America".

Fairytale of New York - because its different I love the Shane Mc Gowan and Kirsty Mccoll and the gruffness is better than the twinkly happy clappy stuff which annoys me
