    Fairytale of New York. Beats the pants off any Cliff Richard anyway. ;)

    Frankie goes to Hollywood - The Power of Love, always reminds me of Christmas as a kid. Carol of the Bells is a nice alternative for whistling along to. There's too many good songs :)

    Try get people to sing complete versions of Christmas songs without it playing in the background, most only know the chorus. We tried to do it on the way to a Christmas party one night but no one could remember the lyrics (could have been the alcohol as well though).

    Interesting side note, does anyone remember the Beers in the Porterhouse last April or May? Me, dajaffa, Elmyra, Peacheh and possibly Blush_01 singing Christmas songs? Nostalgia ftw.

    Well since it's December on Friday:

    I love all the usual cheesy Christmas songs, except Wizzard. I blame Eurospar in Dalkey for that! I also love most Christmas carols. Also, Jump (The Pointer Sisters) now reminds me of Christmas because of Love Actually.

    At this moment, favourites are:
    Same Old Lang Syne - Dan Fogelberg
    Driving Home for Christmas - Chris Rea (only since I came to Dublin though!)
    O Holy Night
    Oh Come Ye Merry Gentlemen
    White Christmas
    Walking in a Winter Wonderland
    Jingle Bells
    All I Want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth
    All I Want for Christmas is You
    (and of course the aforementioned Jump)

    SS, I may have joined in a little, but I was nowhere near as good as you lot. Put me to shame, you all did.

    Driving home for xmas.....Being on the train down home a couple of days before xmas with this song on the radio has to be the most magic feeling in the world ever.
    Only one thing beats it if you ask me....actually driving home.
    Classic.

    ooh, nice songs, some cultish chanting and then alcohol, could be fun. Though if the alcohol came first I'd probably be more up for the cultish chanting:)

    I hate Christmas music. Too many years working retail has turned me to Scrooge, so my favourite Christmas music is any good loud metal used to block out the sounds of Christmas music when I'm on the way out of work.
    Agreed, although Nightwish's cover of We're Walking In The Air is pretty cool, though technically not a christmas song.

    I've still managed to avoid hearing any Christmas songs on the TV or radio so far this year. For that I am eternally grateful! I refuse to acknowledge Christmas until at the very least the month of December!

    I am however somewhat partial to the songs once I've accepted it's not too early for em! And also when alcohol has been consumed!

    Fairytale of New York cant be beat! Except maybe by Do They Know it's Christmas, All I Want for Christmas and that Slade song the name of which escapes me at the moment!

    There's no discussion to be had... it's the true national anthem of Fairytale of New York. anyone who has said otherwise should be excommunicated. :mad:

    "In My Easter Bonnet"... I love that one.

    A little bit off topic, so apologies to the mods... you know it's nearly Christmas when you see the Easter eggs in the shops....

    Is Liberty Bell a Christmas song? I suppose it could work...
