    That is my favorite classic too.

    There are others that I look forward to hearing every year but I don't think they would be considered classics. I really love "The Waitresses, Christmas Wrapping." It tells a cute little story. Its an instant smiler for me.

    Okay, that's funny! �� My all time favorite Christmas song is White Christmas by Bing Crosby and any song by The Chipmunks. ��

    one of my all time favorite Christmas songs

    Fairytale of New York by the pogues
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pv0hlbWpa1w


    http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2012...ristmas-anthem

    Fairytale of New York: the story behind the Pogues' classic Christmas anthem

    Twenty-five years after its release, the duet about a couple who have fallen on hard times is still considered by many to be the greatest Christmas song ever

    Once upon a time a band set out to make a Christmas song. Not about snow or sleigh rides or mistletoe or miracles, but lost youth and ruined dreams. A song in which Christmas is as much the problem as it is the solution. A kind of anti-Christmas song that ended up being, for a generation, the Christmas song.

    That song, Fairytale of New York by the Pogues, has just been reissued to mark its 25th anniversary; it has already re-entered the Top 20 every December since 2005, and shows no sign of losing its appeal. It is loved because it feels more emotionally "real" than the homesick sentimentality of White Christmas or the bullish bonhomie of Merry Xmas Everybody, but it contains elements of both and the story it tells is an unreal fantasy of 1940s New York dreamed up in 1980s London. The story of the song is a yarn in itself: how it took more than two years to get right and became, over time, far bigger than the people who made it. As Pogues accordion-player James Fearnley says: "It's like Fairytale of New York went off and inhabited its own planet."
