Although it is the only song to be uk christmas number 1 twice by the same artist. I don't consider Bohemian Rhapsody to be a christmas song.

Fairytale of New York has to be in my top 3. I don't really know what the other 2 would be.

Fairytale of New York - Pogues
Little drummer boy - David Bowie and Bing Crosby
Driving home for Christmas - Chris Rea

Then a bit of Slipknot or "System of a down" to  redress some balance
There's a man with a mullet going mad with a mallet in Millets

Aristo 60

Brenda Lee's Rocking around the Christmas Tree. Excellent in Home Alone.
Brenda Fricker was then excellent in Home Alone 2.

Tenuous link.

Back in '86, I had to get up in front of the whole school and their families and sing this song by myself, all whilst banging a little toy tin drum. Hated the song ever since.

Always liked Last Christmas by George Michael, it would be my favourite.

Probably Thank God it's Xmas by Queen then Driving Home for Christmas by Chris Rea

Someone reassure me that I'm not the only person in Ireland who doesn't really like fairytale of New York

Rufus T Firefly

1. I Believe in Father Christmas - Greg Lake
2. December Will Be Magic Again - Kate Bush
3. Gaudete - Steeleye Span

1. Fairytale of New York - The Pogues and Kirsty McColl......Just a masterpiece.

2. "O' Holy night" - Any good singer though I prefer a tenor for this song. It gets the hairs standing on the back of the neck for me.

3. "All I want for Christmas" - Mariah Carey. It's fun, it's lively....get's people buzzing.


Christmas Lights

1. Dropkick Murphys - The seasons upon us
2. Coldplay - Christmas lights  ;D
3. 2000 miles - The Pretenders

3 is not enough tbf, Last Christmas, FONY, All alone on Christmas from Home Alone, the list is endless.  So many Christmas yossi's out there, it s hard to condense a list down

I hate X factor for what it done to Christmas numbers 1's

On that, is there any new or recent Christmas songs that we will be listening to in 20 years?

I think my favourites are those that transports you back to your younger years when Christmas was a more innocent time. And not the commercial debt-inducing fecked up monstrosity you realise it is as an adult. Bah humbug! :D

So for me it's:

Pogues and Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale of New York
Wham - Last Christmas
Band Aid - Do they know it's Christmas?
