Best Christmas song

The Little Drummer Boy, and everything else is a distant second. I think it captures "the reason for the season" better than anything else.

I'm not a big fan of the Bing Crosby/David Bowie version as far as the song goes, but the nostalgia is great.

Kate Rusby - Sweet Bells

A Yorkshire carol putting a new spin on 'Whilst Shepards watch'.

I love all of the "traditional religious Christmas songs," but "Silent Night" is my favorite.

The late, great Greg Lake - "I Believe In Father Christmas"

This song has kind of been regulated to being a Christmas song (although I think it should be played year-round), but I love this particular version of this song (especially the guitar playing): "Mary, Did You Know?" - Clay Aiken
