This is easy for me.

There is only one

I believe in Father Christmas - Greg Lake 1974

Do they know it's Christmas by Band Aid - the original one, not the sh1tty revamped version done more recently.

Some other great suggestions on here so far though. Except East 17.

I do love Dean Martin though.

True that the question was xmas songs - hence my vote would be for "White Christmas" or "Silent Night".


I am 46 but have had very hard paper rounds !

I've started listening to my Christmas playlist (I won't bore you with listing them all but my top four are...

Proper Crimbo - Bo Selecta
Christmas Wrapping - The Waitresses
I Believe in Father Christmas - Greg Lake
Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree - Kim Wilde & Mel Smith

Used to like Fairytale of New York but got fed up with Radio 2 playing it all the time years ago.
Do They Know it's Christmas - hate this with a passion.
