1. Pogues & Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale of New York
2. Jona Lewie - Stop The Cavalry
3. Chris Rea - Driving Home For Christmas

I thought long and hard about whether I could include Queen's - "A Winter's Tale". A woefully under-rated, very sad and moving song from the "Made In Heaven" album - when you consider the circumstances and time in Freddie Mercury's life when this was written and recorded. Although it's not really necessarily a festive number, so decided to omit it from the top three.

1) Pogues & Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale of New York (most unlikely Christmas song)

Good choices here Big Tim - though at times I get bored of Chris Rea and Riving Home For Xmas, hence why I dis-included it, though it is still a really good song mind!

I do know what you mean re: Chris Rea - this last two or three years it has been overplayed on radio, and certainly in this last week it's started to grate slightly on me - I'd probably drop it out of my top three now solely on the strength of this. It never used to be played anywhere near as much in the past (released 1988).

I remember Driving Home For Xmas wasn't played that much in the 1990s, but in 1998 was used on an advert & has been more played a lot more.

My Mum likes it as it's less "in your face" than the likes of I Wish It Would Be Xmas Every Day.

Sorry, I find this (and the rest of his oeuvre) as dull as ditch water!
