By that rationale - nothing can ever become a firm favorite in the long run
If it becomes too well prasied - or is too good - it has to die due to over popularity.
But anyway despite that - Its still the greatest Christmas song ever - or even more to the point - the only decent Christmas song ever made.

Sad but true, all great songs get overplayed. Or worse, used in adverts.

With that much praise you'd think you'd actually know the name of the song

Well George Michael went to prison I think for a little while after drunkenly driving his car into a wall.
And Andrew Ridgely, no one knows, he hasn't been seen since 1988. I hope he's okay!

Fairytale in New York
My pick as well.
the highest compliment our culture grants artists nowadays is to be in an ad. - Tom Waits

Oh Holy Night.
Why do we sing Take Me Out to the Ballgame when we're already there?

There are only four I even like:
Vaughn Monroe - Let It Snow (chiefly because of Die Hard)
Jona Lewie - Stop The Cavalry (takes me back to being a kid)
Greg Lake - I Believe In Father Christmas (because its Greg Lake)
Fairytale of New York - The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl (for some reason its not cool to like this anymore but f##k it, if it comes on when I'm driving its getting cranked up and I'm belting it out)
The rest can do one.

The best Christmas song: Father Christmas by the Kinks.
J: You still eating? K: I'm still hungry.
T: You should lay off those candy bars.

"Sleigh Ride" is my favourite traditional Christmas song. It's really a holiday song since it doesn't really have anything to do with Christmas.
Originally done by Leroy Anderson, but I have downloaded probably a dozen versions of the song. Some of the versions are good, and some of them.I regretted downloading - Kenny G's version, for one.
"Last Christmas" is my favourite non-traditional Christmas song.
Originally done by Wham!, but I have downloaded 10 or so versions of it. My favourite cover is done by Jimmy Eat World.
