Anne Boleyn, Catherine Howard, and Mary Queen of Scots. Damn, now I'm going to be accused of being a misogynist.

Dependants!

Standards, Graham ;)

He must have cracked open his Christmas bottle of Canadian Club early this year, Noel!

My top three are:

Fairytale of New York..................... The Pogues

I Wish it Could be Christmas Every Day.... Wizard

Merry Xmas Everybody...................... Slade

Well this about hits the spot for me - a couple of Midlands legends and punk/folk deities. Especially poignant this year with the sad loss of Shane.
But let's face it, it's not Christmas until Noddy says so!
I might be inclined to extend it to Jona Lewie (although it's not a Christmas song) and John Lennon's Happy Christmas (war is over), but otherwise that's the top 5 seen up for me.

W&J Graham's Port at Christmas in named glass ware. Well after a visit - nothing else quite marks the occasion.

Good calls:

Fairytale of New York..................... The Pogues
Merry Xmas Everybody...................... Slade

And of course, I Want An Alien For Christmas by Fountains of Wayne

You should know with a name like yours! And you are not the first!

I must say I am devastated that nobody has mentioned a track off Bob Dylan's Xmas album.

You didn't know Bob Dylan had released a Xmas album? I am truly shocked. Sometimes I wonder if I waste my time on here...

It is called Christmas in The Heart and was released in 2009. There are 15 tracks.

Clearly it would be impossible to choose between them and so I suggest one starts with track 1 - Here Comes Santa Claus.

My relationship with dear Robert goes back 60 years now and so I can say with total confidence that after you have listened to this opening track...life, the world, and Christmas, will never be quite the same again.

And not for the better.

It means I get more Christmas cards. People find one with my name on in their selection box and think of me. :)

We've got a bauble in the tree with my name on too. One year the kids got Mrs Noel one with her name on, then she didn't feel left out.
