Your Favourite Christmas Songs-I Need Inspiration!

I've decieded to compile my own christmas cd's this year so am after some inspiration!! I'd love to hear what are your favourite Christmas songs-any type at all:pop, traditinal, carols....Hopefully this way I will be able to compile the ultimate list for downloading.

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????)

I'd love to hear everyone elses faves....

    john lennon - happy xmas (war is over)
    chris de burgh - a spaceman came travelling
    david essex - a winters tale

  • 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.
