What's your favourite Christmas song?

Yes this is usually a boring question, but with friends and contacts from around the world and with different tastes in music, I thought it might bring out some new answers :)

My top 3:

1. Shakin' Stevens, Merry Christmas Everyone - my total favourite, I love this song of 80s cheese :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_rYo4lT-eM

2. Brenda Lee, Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree - Christmas classic!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnIqLlBwzrc

3. East 17, Stay Another Day - this is pure nostalgia for me. Plus the video is so damn ridiculous, it's hilarious!

Anyway....what's yours?!

BQ: It's my birthday today, do you have an excellent pun joke for me? I love pun jokes (Tim Vine style)

* * P.S I would like to add that Christmas songs have a life of their own, and my choices do not reflect the kind of music I listen to the rest of the year ha ha. Good grief no!

    First things first Happy Birthday you were born on the day the pilgrims first set foot on North America (if your an American that is), just an interesting bit trivia for anyone that was born on this day. No I didn't have to look that up either, as I have known for about fourty years now. No puns from me, but rather a trivia tidbit, you might enjoy knowing. Which is something everyone should know a historical bit of trivia about their birthday.

    I have no favorites for Christmas songs, as it would be to hard to pick from the over nine hundred plus I have in my library. I can though add some songs that you may not have heard though. I'll do a mix of of some of what I have though.
