For me it's got to be Fairytale of New York, you just dont get those kind of lyrics on the radio the rest of the year.

What's your favourite?

Wasn't the original in German or something? I like the Bing Crosby version. Used to sing it in my church choir and it has always been my favorite of the songs we'd sing.

If we ever suffer from temporary insanity and get married, I'd have this as my first dance regardless of the time of year.

"Silent Night."

As a New Yorker I would have thought you would have gone for Fairytale of New York! Is that a popular song in the US, or do you have a totally different set of Christmas Classics?

Honestly, Marc and I had never even heard that song before coming to the UK. There isn't a totally different set of Christmas Classics - there's plenty of overlap - but I do think there is a slight skew. So the core songs are the same, but then some subsets are completely different.

Since I've heard Fairytale of New York I'll say that it's good, but since I don't associate it with my childhood Christmas it will never be my favorite (or even one of my favorites).

I guess so much of our love of Christmas comes from our childhood.

There were 3 songs of the same title all released more or less at the same time, Jennifer rush , Hughy Lewis and the news , and Frankie Goes to Hollywood ,

but one of my favourites , apart from Fairytale of New York has to be Bing Crosby and David Bowie Little Drummer Boy , just a perfect Christmas song

That's why I made sure to say, Frankie Goes To Hollywood. David Bowie is always a good call.
