[Anonymous Claret]

Greg Lake

I believe in Father Christmas

[ClaretinJapan]

Half Man Half Biscuit - All I Want For Christmas is a Dukla Prague Away Kit. No mention of Christmas in it which elevates it further.

[burnmark]

Greg Lake

I believe in Father Christmas

Was just about to post that.

[bfcjg]

Carol...Silent Night

Song...Fairytale of New York.

[Greenmile]

Half Man Half Biscuit - All I Want For Christmas is a Dukla Prague Away Kit. No mention of Christmas in it which elevates it further.

It’s cliched to be cynical at Christmas

[Stalbansclaret]

Still love Fairytale of New York. Haven’t liked much the Killers have done since the first album but their Christmas song Christmas in LA is great.

[aclaretinstevenage]

Carol...Silent Night

Song...Fairytale of New York.

Good, but I'd go

Carol....Oh Holy Night

Song Greg Lake I believe in Father Christmas.

A Spaceman Came Travelling - Chris de Burgh
A Christmas Duel - The Hives & Cyndi Lauper

[gawthorpe_view]

As posted above, Greg Lake, nothing else comes close.

[AlargeClaret]

They certainly don’t make Xmas songs like they used to do that’s for sure .

Elton John’s -Step into Xmas quite an underrated tune.
Bowie&Bing Little Drummer Boy

[houseboy]

A Spaceman Came Travelling - Chris de Burgh
A Christmas Duel - The Hives & Cyndi Lauper

Love spaceman. But the good thing is it doesn’t have to be Christmas, it works at any time.

[houseboy]

I have to come down on the side of Greg Lake really. Loved his voice anyway but the lyrics to that song are really very cynical.
Hallelujah, Noel, be it heaven or hell,
The Christmas you get you deserve.
Pure magic.

[fatboy47]

Tallest dwarf contest.

[rufus lumley]

James Brown' --Hey America

[NottsClaret]

'Do you hear what I hear' by Jonny Mathis, just because it's on Gremlins and is burned into my mind ever since. That or Christmas Wrapping by the Waitresses.

[hoosier-daddy]

A Spaceman Came Travelling - Chris de Burgh

Now that is a blast from the past. I totally forgot about that.

[Cajun]

Not the "best" but a favourite. For the sheer fun of it, this has always brought a smile to my face. Saw Slade perform it live at a wild Christmas gig in Staffordshire in 1977, good times. "Merry Christmas Everybody"

[Rowls]

Some great ones already mentioned.

In Dolce Jubilo by Mike Oldfield is one that hasn't yet been.

edit- By which I mean his version. Obviously he didn't write the tune.

[Vegas Claret]

This is still the most under rated and unheard Christmas song of all time imho, it's brilliant.

Last Christmas another good one.

[karatekid]

First time I’ve really listened to the Gregg Lake lyrics and it is a pretty awesome song. Nothing like all the times it has played in the background at Xmas and I never really listened to the lyrics. I didn’t get it.

[karatekid]

The Sinead O’Connor one is beautiful too.

[karatekid]

I watched the Wham! Last Christmas special the other night where all the original cast from the video reunited. 40 years ago this year.
Wham gave all the royalties to Band Aid .

[Middle-agedClaret]

I Believe in Father Christmas is hard to beat.
I saw Greg Lake perform it as featured vocalist with Ian Anderson and his Band in Salisbury Cathedral in Dec 2011. He sang it beautifully, and the setting made it even more impressive.

On a rather more anarchic level, I’ve always enjoyed There Ain’t No Sanity Clause, by the Damned.

All but george michael does it matter enough to be nitpicking another poster. Let it go.

[BurnleyFC]

I know he’s a **** and an absolute deviant, but I love “Another Rock ‘N’ Roll Christmas” by Gary Glitter.

[Clovius Boofus]

My favourite song is Roll on Boxing Day by Clovius Boofus.

[Dassey]

Another rock and roll christmas....gary glitter.
