They are all coming on the radio now.............ugh. Bah Humbug.
So favourite, worst and most strange?
Favourite : I believe in Father Christmas - Greg Lake Worst : (lots of contenders) but I think the latest offering from Cliff has to take that award
and the strangest...........
River Joni Mitchell.

Good:
"Do They Know It's Christmas?" - Band Aid (my favorite) "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" - Barenaked Ladies "Last Christmas" - Wham! (Go ahead - shoot me) "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" - U2 "O Holy Night" - Tracy Chapman
Plenty of classics, as well (Carpenters). I do enjoy Christmas music.

Will simply never be bested.
Yup.
Slade's is ok,but can get on your tits after the twelve zillionth listen...
I think almost all of them except for the Pogues' effort and White Christmas are shite.
You can't go past a good Carol for the season. Favs here a Stille Nacht (Silent Night), Oh Holy Night and Jingle Bells.
Surprisingly:
Good songs -- "She won't be home" by Erasure "Let It Snow" by Bing Crosby
Bad songs -- anything by Michael Bolton. 
Best: 'Sleigh Ride' - The Ronettes 'Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) - Darlene Love
Worst:
'Driving Home For Christmas' Chris Rea
and
'Misteltoe and Wine' by the Cliff-number 1 when I was born...
In dulce jubilo - Mike Oldfield A Merry Jingle - The Greedies (Phil Lynott & co.) In the bleak midwinter - Nevada
Worst of the lot....
Lonely this Christmas - Mud
Wayyyyy to many to list, but here's a few (and in albums)
Anything by the Ray Coniff singers Beach Boys Carpenters Andy WIlliams Alabama Johnny Mathis Philedelphia Orchestra
Bad: Anything by Kenny G
Best?
Pogues "Fairytale Of New York" Shakin Stevens "Merry Christmas Everyone" Kevin Bloody Wilson "Hey Santa Claus You Cunt" Kevin Bloody Wilson "Ho Ho Fucking Ho"
Worst?
Just about everything else.
Another vote for the Pogues, honourable mention to Eartha Kitts version of Santa Baby, sung how it's meant to be sung.
Good:
White Christmas - Otis Redding (all other versions suck ass) Merry Christmas Saint Nick - Beach Boys Sleigh Ride - Ronettes Christmas (Please Come Home) - any artist (it's unable to be ruined even by the Bono One)
Worst:
Winter Wonderland - every single version ever recorded Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer (it's okay until you get past the age of five) Any Christmas album ever done by someone on the downward spiral of the career path

Just about everything else.
They are hilarious. 
My faves are:
Do they know it's Christmas - Band Aid (original) Have yourself a merry little Christmas - Judy Garland It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas - Bing Crosby Let it snow - Dean Martin
Worst:
Too many sickly ones to mention.
The Pogues by far, though I still enjoy Father Christmas by The Kinks, Thanks For Christmas by XTC (err, The Three Wisemen) and the Captain Sensible one (can't recall the title).
Hate Wonderful Christmastime and the Eagles song.

That is THE and only Christmas song I would ever consider listening to, full stop - I love it.
Christmas pop songs really freak me out. I went to a very small office part at work on Friday and someone decided to play a 'Best of Xmas Songs' CD. For some reason it was totally embarrassing, as embarrassing as if one of the old lecturers had got his knob out and slapped in into the sausage rolls.

Actually, just remembered - this one is pretty decent too.
