A classic since the late 40s, Nat King Cole's version of "The Christmas Song" might crack that coffin.
The contemporary version of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" by Luther Vandross might deserve some consideration also. 2 examples of "classic songwriting" that have been around since the 40s, proving that a well-written song is timeless. Bit of trivia... According to ASCAP's 2003 performance data, the 10 most performed holiday tunes of the 21st century: 1. Santa Claus Is Coming to Town 2. The Christmas Song * 3. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas * 4. Winter Wonderland 5. White Christmas 6. Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow 7. I'll Be Home for Christmas 8. Jingle Bell Rock 9. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer 10. Little Drummer Boy ("This Christmas" IS a great tune) tA  Tribal Disorder

I love a great deal of Christmas songs (Lennon, Mud, Bing, Elvis, Darkess), but I would have to say, to me the best is actually fairly recent. The best ever xmas tune in my eyes is...
Mariah Carey - All I want for Christmas Is You! Its got everything. Sleigh Bells, Santa. I love it! . |

I'm not sure if this is what you'd call a 100% bona fide 'Crimbo' song but that's what it was released for. The Pogues & Kristy MacColl - "Fairytale Of New York". Probably my Crimbo favourite

thesexofit said: The Galry glitter song "rock n roll'in christmas" (i think thats the title)....they never play it anymore and I hate them for that!
They never play it anyomre because he got locked up for being a paedophile. Each time a record is played on air, the artist gets royalty money. I think it's pretty good that they stopped playing it and hence he stopped getting paid. Don't you?! | |

For the populace, It's either Nat King Cole's White Christmas, Stevie wonder's Silver Bells, Donny Hathawy's This Christmas and Vince Guilarldi's contribution to A Charlie Brown Christmas. I also like Charles Brown's Merry Christmas baby. Jeux Sans Frontiers | |
