Tis the season to be jolly and all that, so this week's friday poll asks: What's your favourite Christmas song? Mine? Just Like Christmas by Low from their brilliant album Christmas. Amidst the morass of saccharine, sentimental, commercially exploitative slush that makes up the seasonal song genre, here is a fragile, melodious masterpiece. The perfect acompaniment, and antidote, to Christmas.     Justgiving's Blog - news, views and other fun stuff from JG Towers    Report

Genius!    Report

Just to remove any confusion here, Slade's 'So here it is, Merry Christmas' is the ultimate Chringle ditty. Hell, it earned Noddy "Who's Crazy Now?" Holder an MBE in the 1999 Millennium Honours List... With his joyous shout of "IT'S CHRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISTMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS" at the end, it's just a real crowd-pleaser and anyone who says it isn't is telling porky-pies.    Report

And ones I've not heard, but would definitely like to... like "All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth " or "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer "    Report

I'm also siding with Fairytale of New York, but am opting for the No Use for a Name version instead. Ben's the only other person in the office cool enough to know who NUFAN are. FACT.    Report
