          I wanted to say Fairytale of New York - it is THE christmas record.

          Much as I hate carols, I do love this one............

            I quite like Fairytale, but I cannot see how it's classed as one of the GREAT Xmas songs.
            A. its maudlin.
            B. the radio shows & TV shows are always editing the lyrics to avoid offending various people groups.

            If it's not transmittable, how can it be great?

              It's all a matter of taste really - my Mum likes White Christmas for petes sake!!!!!

              I reckon that it's a pretty honest reflection of most households at some point over the christmas season!

              And anyway, I hate christmas. Bah humbug and all that!
