Until I hear Mariah Carey screeching "all I want for Christmas is yooooooooOOOOOOOooooouuuuuuuuuuu baby" it's not Christmas.

Jesus Wept · 30-11-2011 4:03am

Damn, I thought I made that poll public.

I'm listening to Cliff Richard and watching Die Hard.
Sick life.

Not to be a pedant, but The Millennium Prayer is my overall all time favourite song, whereas Mistletoe and Wine is my favourite Christmas song.

But isn't Millenium Prayer a Christmas song? if so, it must qualify as your favourite Christmas song?

Well technically speaking it's a prayer but I didn't want to confuse the serfs.

Fairytale of New York is my favourite but someone's already posted it.

I do like this one though

foxyboxer · 30-11-2011 9:43am

+1 to the Power of Love by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.

It doubles up as a song you can easily listen to all year round.

xzanti · 30-11-2011 9:46am

I quite like the little drummer boy.

Reminds me of my school nativity plays all those years ago

One I haven't heard for years, the old country classic "We won't have lights on the tree this year cos they're using the electric chair"

I'm surprised that I have not heard this belter yet.

One of the all time classics. Pure timeless.

he Teacher asked young Patrick Murphy: "What do you do at Christmas time?"

Patrick addressed the class: "Well Ms. Jones, me and my twelve brothers and sisters go to midnight mass and we sing hymns; then we come home very late and we put mince pies by the back door and hang up our stockings. Then all excited, we go to bed and wait for Father Christmas to come with all our toys.

"Very nice Patrick," she said. "Now Jimmy Brown, what do you do at Christmas?"
"Well, Ms. Jones, me and my sister also go to church with Mom and Dad and we sing carols and we get home ever so late. We put cookies and milk by the chimney and we hang up our stockings. We hardly sleep, waiting for Santa Claus to bring our presents."

Realizing there was a little Jewish boy in the class and not wanting to leave him out of the discussion, she asked, "Now, Isaac Cohen, what do you do at Christmas?"
Isaac said, "Well, it's the same thing every year...Dad comes home from the office. We all pile into the Rolls Royce; then we drive to Dad's toy factory. When we get inside, we look at all the empty shelves...And begin to sing: “What A Friend We Have in Jesus”.

"Then we all go to the Bahamas."
