    Fairytale of New York. I know it gets played to death every Christmas, but its still a great song.

    Also East 17 - Stay another day hits both the Christmas and 90's nostalgia buttons.

    Jeez, I hate Fairytale of NY. I have to switch stations when it comes on, I am sick to death of it and I think it is a very depressing song.

    But I do have a soft spot for "Walking in the Air". :o

    Last Christmas without a doubt. I've a soft spot for Mariah Careys 'All I want for christmas', which has to be done with a santa hat and hair-brush or no dice :pac:

    Classic. One of my favourites too. Relatively unknown today though, doesn't get played much....

    I would think Money For Nothing was worthy of being played all year round...

    A Long December by the Counting Crows is in my top 5. Also like Frankie Goes to Hollywood's The Power of Love, although I know I really shouldn't.

    A classic and would probably have made it to no 1 only for John Lennon's death in 1980. It was never intended to be a Christmas hit.

    Fairytale of New York, by far. Played it in a dixo that I was at last night and it was unreal!:D
    Mariah Carey's song is alright too.:o

    Fairytale of New York. Drunkeness, drug use, lonliness and lost love. An Irish Christmas!
