My 3 best would be:

1. Pogues and Kirsty MacColl Fairytale of New York
2. Jona Lewie Stop the Cavalry
3. Wizard I Wish it could be Christmas Everyday

1 and 2 for their sense of melancholy and 3 for its ability to make me tap my feet and for bringing back memories of some great times long gone, though I concede it may be on quite a few worst lists.

That song is on my worst list im afraid

Really !?!

We're all so different

I can't stand that Pogue's one but everyone seems to love it

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.

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).
