Third that. Great song.

Driving Home For Christmas - as soon as I hear those first few bars... ah Chris - bonus points for your daughter winning the Lovely Girls competition!

Basq

The Pogues - Fairytale Of New York

Was that not Chris De Burgh's daughter that won the competition and Chris Rea that sang Driving Home For Christmas? I could be wrong though?

On a side note - What do you get if you cross Dire Straits with Chis Rea?
Dire Rea!

As for more Christmas songs:-

Smashing Pumpkins - Christmas Time
The Vandals - Hang Myself From The Tree
The Darkness - Don't Let The Bells End
Slade - Here It Is (Merry Christmas)
Aled Jones - Walking In The Air (Damn you An Post)

and that music for the Coca Cola ad with the big lorry driving round lighting up Christmas lights and stuff.....

"Holidays are comin' , holidays are comin"

Johnny_the_fox

Thin Lizzy / Sex Pistols - A Merry Jingle

Would have to say Driving Home For Christmas too.

Last Christmas cos of my George Michael/Wham obsession but whether its a Christmas song or not. Frankie Goes To Hollywood : The Power Of Love : Classic, shivers every time I hear it

Victor_Meldrew

As far as I'm concerned, it's not Christmas 'til I've heard Fairytale of New York. Although, I do like a bit of Drivin' home for Christmas too, I must admit.

Sherifu

Wham - Last Christmas

Christmas purity.

What a song.
