    I find it unbelievable that nobody can find that jingle anywhere. :(
    I wish Penneys would bring it back, LOVED it!!


    For me, it's not Christmas until I see the CocaCola trucks ad. :)

    I'm sure there's other things but off hand I'd say that for me it's not Christmas till the TV Guide page on Sky changes to the Christmassy music... :o

    Why angry? Is it just that you hate that particular Christmas song?

    I agree, awful song. The East 17 song annoys me. It's not a Christmas song!

    +1 for the East 17 comment, the song drives me nuts! Love Shaking Stevens Merry Christmas Everyone too! Shocked about the hate for Wham's Last Christmas, it's an all time classic! (imo ;) )

    I'm listening to Shakin Stevens on my ipod now! I also like Last Christmas- the video for it is so snowy! :)

    I don't get the East 17 or that sad Gary Jules song though. Being a Christmas no. 1 does not a Christmas song make!

    I like the manic street preachers version above... The Wham version is just horrid. The music video just makes me cringe, this is just my opinion. Obviously plenty of people love it. Just not for me.

    I just thought of another one that when I hear it, I know it's Christmas. Bing and David Bowie - Little Drummer Boy. Absolutely class

    I couldn't disagree more, a fantastic Christmas song. Lyrics are fantastic, it's actually what real life Christmas is like. The best of them all by a country mile!

    "I kept them with me babe, I put them with my own, can't make it out alone... I have built my dreams all around you" A perfect lyric

    nah, too maudlin, fighting and crying.
    I prefer my christmas to be happy, joyful and not be in a paralytic state of drunkeness at a bar. :D:D I think a lot of people "like" this song because they are "supposed" to like it, but in reality they just "grin and bear it".
