Even though they are getting on my nerves by the end of december I love listening to some crimbo songs to get me feeling festive.
A couple of my favourites are Fairytale of New York by the Pogues and silent night
Whats your favourites?
"Santa Claus Is Coming To Town"
My daughter (16) and her mate are driving me mad at the moment by constantly playing Mariah Carey's version of 'All I want for Christmas is you'. If I never hear it again it will be too soon.

My favourite one has to be Wizard - I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day. Very cheesy but it gets everyone in the mood for a party along with Slade's Merry Christmas Everyone.
My all time favourite is the Pogues and of course the late Kirsty McColl (1987), it's pure class, and only got to number 2. Band Aids "Do the know it's Xmas" was also a great one (1984).
"Let it snow" always reminds me of the late "Phil the clown", he used to run around spraying snow at the kids.
There must be a great recent one, but I can't think of any

As a young teenager in the early 70's, Slade were my favourite group too and 'Merry Christmas Everybody' has got to be one of the best Christmas songs ever. I also really like 'Fairy Tale of New York', John Lennon's 'Happy Xmas (War is Over)' and Greg Lake's 'I believe in Father Christmas'.
"I'll be home for Christmas" - can't help a tear or two when I hear it.
Pogues and Kirsty McColl reminds me of sitting in a little 'spit and sawdust' pub near college on Xmas eve in 1988. Happy teenage memories!
I also love the Mariah Carey one, I have no idea why but it gets me bopping around the house!
Heck, I just love them all!
It can be heard in the video for the Christmas Album.
Oh, and "Stop the Cavalry" by Jona Lewie......
Dub a dum dum dub a dub
Dub a dub a dum
Wish I was at home for Christmas

Away in a manger sang by our schoolkids! It can bring a tear to my eye!
Shakin' stevens one is great and the one that creases me up is the Chris De Burgh one: A spaceman came travelling.... the chorus just has me in stitches especially when its on in a shop and I start singing it to my boyfriend at full volume: it goes, la la la la la la la la la la!
I bet he wishes I had a mute button!
If you have Sky/Cable then all the music channels play the xmas stuff the whole time which is fab! Gets you in the festive spirit especially when I am getting ready for work at 7am!
The Pogues and Kirsty Macoll, Fairytale of New York..
never liked the Poges did like Wizzard and slade but what about i'm walking backwards for christmass
I know Christmas is nearly here when I hear it playing on the radio.
Merry Christmas to everyone

Wizard - you must be nearly as old as me if you remember that!
Mine are - Fairy tale of New York, Do they know it's Christmas, I wish it could be xmas everyday and (while it's not a 'pop/ christmas song) I love In the Bleak Midwinter
White Christmas nobody sings it like Bing.

Favorite carol - Once in Royal Davids City
Sarah
