My favourite is the vienna boys one in Home Alone and when he the clock strikes and it becomes all rocky. Goosebump times.

Pretenders, 2000 miles - to keep J70 happy
Litrtle Donkey...
Theres a good story about a young apprentice at Arsenal
Apparently at Arsenal all the apprentices had to get up in the bar at christmas time and sing a christmas carol....
All the pros then give the kids money for christmas...
The story goes that Ian Selley (tony Adams's apprentice(he's not related to Gerry EG)) got up and sang little donkey....
Would love to have seen TA's face then!!
After getting woken up by what appears to be the worst Christmas songs ever being played on loud speaker, I would have to say
Frosty the Snowman,
Mistletoe & Wine
Let it Snow
Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer
and Jingle Bells would not rate too highly on my list.
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=zs4OkFZWmfs
Happy Xmas (War is Over) - John Lennon
Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) - Phil Spector/Darlene Love
Let It Snow - Dean Martin
The Christmas Song - Nat King Cole
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=PHpye0M34JQ&feature=related
Best Hymn/Carol ever.
You need to listen the whole way through
I had never heard Little Drummer Boy (a rump a bum bum) until I saw it posted here and searched it on youtube. Hopefully I will never hear it again (a rump a bum bum).
Out of a rump a bum bum comes shite.
What is with the practice of many on this board to post youtube links without any indication of what the clip is? Is there supposed to be some element of suspense and tingly anticipation as we click on the link to see what joys await us? How many people actually bother to click? (I couldn't be arsed myself)
Post the name of the song FFS! >:(
Holidays are coming....

This is without doubt the best. Bates the shite out of Fairytale of New York. Hard to get it on Youtube.

Bloody brilliant.
I've always thought that Paul Brady's version of "Arthur McBride" the best Christmas song. A traditional song with amazing lyrics.

Christmas Morning - John Montague (on the front of the Irish Times this morning)
Lights outline a hill
As silently the people,
Like shepherd and angel
On that first morning,
March from Altcloghfin,
Beltany, Rarogan,
Under rimed hawthorn,
Gothic evergreen,
Grouped in the warmth
cloud of their breath,
Along cattle paths
Crusted with ice,
Tarred roads to this
Grey country chapel
Where a gas-lamp hisses
To light the crib
Under the cross-beam's
Damp flaked message:
GLORIA IN EXCELSIS
Posted it previously bur its classm Celine Dion singing Oh Holy Night

Tis a great tune but maybe a little depressing for the masses, now where is my shakin stevens cd...
Cheery effort - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzvQr8fidLo
Must be getting old because I seem to like the ole carols more very year.
Agree Arthur McBride is a great tune all right.
Like "Is that you Santa Claus?"by Louis Armstrong also.
