Best Xmas Song?

What's the seasonal tune that personally gives you the feeling that Christmas has arrived?

Greg Lake - "I Believe in Father Christmas"

Because I usually only hear it when my dad sticks on the compilations on Christmas day. Ergo it's not overexposed, blah de blah. Hearing that = actually Christmas.

yup - shame Kirstys gone.
I think that song is the most accurate xmass song, but for sheer good fun not much beats slade.

As a Christian, my favourite Christmas songs are all carols, though I'm not sure how I'd rank them. Still, I recently heard the worst Christmas song of all time. The horror of the ninteen sixties. I'm gonna spend my Christmas with a Dalek which features "Dalek voices" that sound like they've been made by something along the lines of holding your nose.

That's you of the Christmas list.

These'd be my choices. And those of a few other people who heard 'em at the Christmas party I went to a week and a half ago...

It just didn't feel like Christmas til Nerf Herder kicked in.

Actually for that proper Christmas cheer, I usually plump for "Walking Round in Women's Underwear" which has got to be one of the funniest Christmas songs ever.

I miss Simon Mayo on Radio 1 this time of year. He always used to play Bob Rivers...

Einstein's favourite christmas song is Let it snow, with Frank Sinatra on song.
So ya'll just need to shut the [composite word including 'f*ck'] up.

I've had numerous hit novelty records, including Mr. Blooby, Mel and Kin and the Beatles.

I tried Smooth's suggestion of Christmas Eve in Sarajevo, and it is indeed awesome.

Very moody.

My own favourites are child-songs in swedish, so perhaps not much to suggest.

My personal favourite is probably a song called "Tip tap". It's about little gnomes, or "tomtar" as we like to call them. ^^
