Worked in Dunnes Stores for a stint once upon a while ago, and there used to be songs played on a loop that to this day nearly bring on a rash if I hear even one line. I always feel the height of sympathy for retail staff this time of year. I always reckoned I'd convert to Judaism or Islam each December and January if I was still there.
Fairytale is in a spot of its own, provided I can avoid overexposure- even it has a threshold.
Fairytale of New York
I believe in Father Christmas
When a child is born

Honorable mentions to Stop the Cavalry and 2000 miles.

I cannot drop one, so here's four:

2000 miles - The Pretenders
Christmas Time - The Darkness
Simply having a wonderful Christmas time - Paul McCartney
Sleigh Ride - The Ronettes

"It's the most wondertime time of the year" by Andy Williams was never my favourite but it has been absolutely ruined by a Holiday company. Barstewards.

Joni Mitchell - River
Paul McCartney - The Frog Chorus
Run DMC - Christmas in Hollis

Honourable mention to De Burgh for Spaceman came travelling, smashing tune to join in with in the shopping centre and embarrass the kids. Dishonourable mention to Springsteen for Santa Claus is coming to town, what was he thinking.

The Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping
Mariah
Queen - Thank God

He wasn't. That was brutal

The Jackson 5 version is ear-piercingly brutal as well .

I like this version of the song and more aesthetically pleasing than De Burgh.
