Not a typical christmas song but John Lennon's Happy Xmas is always good. Also U2 - Christmas(Baby Please Come Home), The Eagles - Please Come Home for Christmas, Jethro Tull made a Christmas album which was nice.

I don't really care for traditional Christmas songs.

Jethro Tull's "A Christmas Song" is probably my favorite, it's not a very happy song, but it gets at the true spirit of the holiday and how it gets lost in midst of commercialism.

Others I like are:
The Kinks: "Father Christmas"
XTC: "Thanks For Christmas"
Emerson, Lake and Palmer: "I Believe in Father Christmas"
Root Boy Slim: "Christmas At K-Mart"
John Lennon: "Happy Christmas (War Is Over)"
Bruce Springsteen: "Santa Claus is Coming To Town"
David Bowie & Bing Crosby: "Little Drummer Boy/Peace On Earth"

There's probably a bunch more that I can't remember.

I have a 4 cd set of Christmas songs and I've made several mp3's from them. I even made a couple of mp3's using an entire cd for each. I play my mp3's when I'm chatting in IRC (Internet Relay Chat). I have a folder on my computer that's dedicated to Christmas mp3's. :)

I like the little drummer boy.

Wasn't too keen on Cliff Richard. Til he sang "Mistletoe and wine". It was also a favourite of my eldest sister. Who i lost 5 years ago. So it also brings back some special memories for me.:)

Spot on there Tracey. My favourite too. Shane McGowan is a loveable drunken sott; and Kirsty MacColl, can it be nearly 8 years since she was killed. Let's hope they put it out once more this Christmas.

However I also love the Cristmas songs of my early teen hood, Slade, Wizzard, even John Lennon. Always bring a puts a smile on my face at Christmas.
