Ms. Fogarty's Christmas Cake

I think its the Irish Rovers version I have, has a nice solo at the end that took me forever to master on guitar

The Ramones - Merry Christmas I Don't Want To Fight Tonight

Two great shouts by Neil McD, but Bing is Mr Christmas, and this is the classic one:

This is the best one:

And of course, there's this, mawkish, cheesy, and utterly gorgeous!

Another great source of Christmas tunage is the mighty Tull, such as A Christmas Song here, live by Ian Anderson and band. Original is here.

And Ring Out Solstice Bells

Stay Another Day is an excellent song...

Wedding Present - No Christmas (with a little 120minutes nostalgia thrown in)

Ooh, and The Crystals (or any of that album):

my favourite of the traditional christmas songs is Oh Holy Night. Gives me shivers up and down my spine.

... I dunno. I prefer the simple honesty of the exercise on display here.

Surprised Mariah Carey's one hasn't been mentioned yet, I do like it through it's connection with Love Actually to be honest

Okay -given. Now talk us through

Wait, wait ...I'm still tuning up my banjo.

Incest brothers are still brothers Lionel, probably solved

Except for those sick freaks in East 17

christ, i didnt think this would be so bloody controversial...

first part - his brother dies
second part - have you never kissed a dead body (cue necrophilia jokes)

I'd like to nominate schmalzy Christmas Ballad:

"Killing in the Name" by Rage Against the Machine.

Any more to be added to this thread?

It’s Cliched to be Cynical at Christmas

Now how did I guess
You were going to express
Your disdain at the crane
With the bright fairy lights
And you moan at the snow
‘Cos your car wouldn’t go
Oh it’s cliched
To be cynical
At Christmas

You don’t have a tree
And your smile has a fee
All the same, here’s a card
For your boring facade
Jingle Bells, piney smells
All the boys and the girls
Say it’s cliched
To be cynical
At Christmas
Oh it’s cliched
To be cynical
At Christmas

See how we yawn
At your bile and your scorn
It’s a beautiful day
Peace on Earth has been played
Make a noise with your toys
And ignore the killjoys
‘Cos it’s cliched
To be cynical
At Christmas

Oh it’s cliched
To be cynical
At Christmas

I saw three ships
Come sailing in
Come sailing in
Come sailing in
I saw three ships
Come sailing in
On Christmas Day
In the morning
