So far I have
The Christmas Song (by Nat king Cole)
All I Want For Christmas Is You (Mariah Carey) cheesy I know but it always makes me smile!
I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday (Wizzard)
Frosty The Snowman (Ermmm I think it may be by the Ronnettes????)

Slade! Merry Christmas Everybody! Why has nobody mentioned Slade yet? Also 10,000 miles by the Pretenders, and I believe in Father Christmas by Greg Lake. It's about there not being a real father christmas to believe in so it's not exactly cheery, but boy, the orchestral stuff gets me right in the chest every time I hear it.

tru

Christmas Time by The Darkness
Little Drummer Boy by Jars Of Clay AND the David Bowie version as well - I have both

I'll have to dig my Christmas CDs out and see what others I have, I can't remember at the mo.
