Wouldn't vote for any from the list, although I'd give the Ronettes an honourable mention just for being drop-dead gorgeous - the song lets 'em down, though.

THIS is without a shadow of a doubt the greatest Christmas song ever...

The yanks bypassed Soul in the 60s. we took it as our own. It belonged to us. Thats why we keep the faith.

Fairytale in New York. If I haven't heard Fairytale in New York its not time for Christmas and true to form whilst I've heard lots of other Christmas songs so far this year that one hasn't appeared on my radar yet.

I think this may be worth a mention too...Paul and Storm » The Way-Too-Early Christmas Song
