I SWORE ON ONE THREAD!
GET OVER IT!!!!!
Fairytale gets my vote, absolutely. Mind you, I like traditional stuff as well.
'God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen' and Rosettis' 'In The Bleak Midwinter' take some beating.
"Fairytale of New York" Never heard of it so I can not comment.
My personal Favourite is "Mistletoe and Wine" by Cliff Richard.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.

But fairy tale is a close second, or maybe it is the best an......
"Fairytale of New York" was written and sung by Shane MacGowan - lead singer with the Pogues ( a complete wreck of a man, but incredibly talented) and the late Kirsty Macoll - whose father is Ewan Macoll, the Folk singer.
Not your 'traditional' song, mind you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrAwK9juhhY
Fairytale of New York is my favourite, followed by "Proper Crimbo" then the one that goes dum-a dum-a dum-dum...
A Spaceman Came Travelling.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.

Also, "I'll be home for Christmas". It's taken a few years, but this year I am.
People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will
never forget how you made them feel.
Yes, it's a fantastic song and the one that really makes it feel like Christmas for me...a really Christmassey Chrimbo!!
Did you know Shane McGowan and Kirsty MacColl actually never sang the song together? Their parts of the track were recorded separately and then laid onto the song later!
Mine is the classic.

I also like Fairy Tale of New York. The mention of the Ass sums up a Christmas I survived a few years ago. Precious memories.

I think I agree with the popular choice, and I am also amazed that Shane McGowan is still alive.
Off subject a tad, but one of my favorites of Shane McGowan is the cover version of Waltzing Matilda he did, although a bit depressive it's a very interesting and moving story.
