No poll here. More of a free for all. My top three are:

Driving home for Christmas - Chris Rea
The Christmas Waltz - Frank Sinatra (Daddy Tink's favourite really but I love it too)
Grown up Christmas List - Michael Buble

My favourite Christmas songs tend to be the carols from a life spent in schools.

It won't let me quote you FP. I dunno why. I like carols too.

Gosh how funny that you don't recognise any of my tippy top choices. Maybe the last two are a bit old hat and left of centre but I though Chris Rea would be a standard.

Don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to.

This is fairly recent but a major favourite:

Also:

Greg Lake - I believe in Father Christmas
Pogues - Fairytale of New York (Sorry ACF!)
Jona Lewie - Stop the Cavalry
Chris de Burgh - A Spaceman Came Travelling
Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Power of Love (not technically a Christmas song, I suppose, but a December hit so it will do!)

Most of the ones that have been mentioned so far too and, from the carols, Hark the Herald - I just love singing that descant!

I like Fairy Tale of New York and I Wish it Could Christmas Every Day by Wizzard, I expect that is Mim's favourite as well?

Yay for Tim Minchin.

And here is Hark The Herald as being a Fall fan I know it.
