It's getting close to that time of year again, so let's see some of your favourite Christmas songs on here!

This is probably my favourite ever - still as relevant now as it was back then

and this one's got to be the best in recent years

I'll get the obvious one out of the way:

I'll be back with some more...later.

The one and only Les Gray RIP

I actually think Motown have released more Christmas albums than there have been Christmases

Was number one when i was born!

Obviously the best xmas song is 'Fairytale' (saw them again last night 7th year running, still magic) but the guilty pleasures part of me has to also go for

a special mention for frankie goes to hollywoods 'the power of love' which , whilst not really being a xmas song always reminds me of xmas

still, here is my nomination...

Fairytale in new york always makes it feel like xmas for me

I love this one too.

Phillip, go and stand in the corner...

Tim, surely you meant this ?

People have posted their favorite songs, but this one is not one of my favorites:

Let me explain...I've been trying to compile a Spotify playlist of pop/rock songs for Christmas or traditional songs associated with Christmas sung by pop and/or rock artists so that it would appeal to as many people as possible as we're getting together for Christmas with some of my relatives and I thought I wanted to create something both the young old might enjoy. For some reason I thought Chris Cornell singing Ave Maria sounded like a great idea, but that version is horrible. Not so much because of the singing, but because the production just sounds clunky and cheap. I think they've tried to go for a big sound to stir emotions, but I'm not feeling anything. Anyone know a good version of Ave Maria that is not by an opera singer or some classically trained choir?

Andy Williams is getting pretty close with his version:

It's ok, but I'm sure there is a better version out there. Any ideas?

Everyone's going for very obscure ones...how about an old classic christmas anthem?

Fairytale of New York. No contest.

Everyone's going for very obscure ones...

Obscure? Lennon? Pogues?

Well, maybe not obscure, just songs I've never heard of ;)

No idea how to insert the video, but it's found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odXdFVWxygA

Funny, because I'd say Wizzard and "I Wish..." is more obscure than many of the other songs that have been posted here, but I guess it's pretty popular in England.

Ah, I think I've figured it out:
