    Some great suggestions in the thread so far.

    Very hard to pick just 5..I'll go with these for the moment, I could change the order too!

    5. 2000 Miles - The Pretenders
    4. Same Old Lang Syne - Dan Fogelberg
    3. River - Joni Mitchell
    2. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas - Judy Garland (the original and the best version :-))
    1. I believe in Father Christmas - Greg Lake - despite the cynicism of the lyrics, I always look forward to hearing this song.

    It absolutely belongs in this thread IMO and in fact was in my top 5 & after the job I had of limiting my selection to 5 & having no 'honourable mentions' as Loughc had requested i'd be aghast if it deemed as unworthy :D So if you feel like changing your 5 to include it, rock on my friend!!:)

    5. Last Christmas - Wham. Possibly the greatest Christmas music video of all time?

    I was thinking it would be more in a "Top 5 Christmas music pieces" list.
    Funny though, I also always associate it with Tom Dunne. It was another thing that marked the start of Christmas for me a decade ago. Absolutely loved hearing it every day
