Favourite Christmas Song

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

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'
 
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
 
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.
 
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.
