Has to be I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day for me too - one of my brothers sent out a reindeer soft toy with a christmas hat which rocks around playing the original recording when you press a button on it's toe. The first year my kids freaked out and we had to put it away but now it's a annual feature.
Honourable mention goes to my 4 habitual vinyl Chrimbo songs that get the day started in our house (Wham, BandAid, The Pogues and Slade).
The Bob Dylan album could be interetsing this year though.....

The Pogues have not just the greatest xmas song of all time, it's one the best songs of all time. MacGowan was a songwriting genius.

Great thread.Don't laugh but East 17s- (Stay now?) does it for me.

The Greg Lake (from Emerson,Lake and Palmer) song is a timeless classic.No idea of the title unfortunately.

No it isn't, believe me i've heard it. Thea Gilmore's "Strange Communion" is a much better non typical "Christmas" one.

Keith Emerson did NOT do 'I Believe etc'

Greg Lake, did. Fact.

You are absolutely WRONG-ish.

Greg Lake, of course, had the hit, but if I am not mistaken there is another version by E, L & P, so Emerson DID do it, just not by himself.

Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping.

 

[Gwylan]

Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping.

That's a big fave of mine too.

Does the Handsome Family's So Much Wine count as a Christmas song? It does mention Christmas?
