    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.

    .
    "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...

    Also, "I'll be home for Christmas". It's taken a few years, but this year I am.

    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.
    The pogues - The Band Played Waltzing Matilda
    A man who fears suffering is already suffering from what he fears.
