Don't have a link, but the best christmas song without a doubt is Fairytale of New york by Shane MacGowan & Kirsty MaColl.
 
 I'll fight anyone who disagrees!  :mad:  
 
 Second is jonah louie, Send in the cavalry.

No fight necessary.  It's the winner, hands down.

The best Christmas "song" is Henry Rollins reading of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas.
 
 Nothing spreads holiday cheer like Hank's robotic voice nestled among the background effects of helicopters, machine-gun fire and, ultimately, nuclear annihilation.
 
 Brings a tear to my every year........

At your age, that could be quite a while.
 
 Just be thankful you didn't slip and break your hip.

I always liked that song by the waitresses, whatever its called.
 
 Lulu likes Whams, last Christmas and Pariah Careys, all I want for Christmas is you.
 
 I hate it when she buys CDs.

Kinks - Father Christmas = best ever
 Similarly misanthropic = Blink 182 - I won't be home for Christmas

I like Christmas Wrapping too.
 
 SLADE "So here it is merry christmas"
 Coz that's when you grabbed the girl nearest to you for a good snog.  :D  
 
 I'll also admit to liking "Do they know it's christmas" By Bob Geldoff and a few of his mates.
