[Hobbit]

I'll add another one... Do they know its Christmas, Band Aid 1984

Greg Lake - I Believe in Father Christmas.

This. It's not the greatest song ever by any means but the effect it has had with raising awareness, fundraising etc is staggering. It also contains possibly the most haunting line ever written

'Tonight thank God it's them instead of you'

Christmas isn't Christmas without the sound of Phil Spector. 😊

Another vote for Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses. I thought it was quite a niche shout but a few on here.

Elton 'Step in Xmas' grows on me each year for some reason

 

[Doon frae Troon]

FToNY for me.

'I could have been someone........then so could anyone'.
Two best lines in songwriting ever.

I used to watch Kirsty McColl's father Ewan singing in the 1960's folk circuit.
He wrote some cracking songs.

Christmas isn't Christmas without the sound of Phil Spector. 

I did like that 2009 hit he was involved in "I find you guilty of second degree murder"

 

[Blakey]

Run DMC - Christmas in Hollis

 

[Blue in Munich]

Can't believe this one hasn't got a mention yet;

Fairy Tale of New York & Slade make up the top 3, honourable mentions for Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas Is You, and Please Come Home For Christmas by either The Eagles or Bon Jovi.

This, great tune and Phil Collins ripping it on the drums, awesome stuff.

No one liking Wham’s Last Christmas?

FTofNY is at the bottom of my list. In fact it’s not even on the list.

 

[TerryA]

No one’s mentioned When a child is born - Johnny Mathis.

 

[Jensen]

Frankie Goes To Hollywood, The Power of Love.
I'll protect you from the hooded claw....

Also Fairytale of New York
