Don't have a link, but the best christmas song without a doubt is Fairytale of New york by Shane MacGowan & Kirsty MaColl.
I'll fight anyone who disagrees! :mad:

The best Christmas "song" is Henry Rollins reading of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas.
Nothing spreads holiday cheer like Hank's robotic voice nestled among the background effects of helicopters, machine-gun fire and, ultimately, nuclear annihilation.
Brings a tear to my every year……..

At your age, that could be quite a while.
Just be thankful you didn't slip and break your hip.

I always liked that song by the waitresses, whatever its called.
Lulu likes Whams, last Christmas and Pariah Careys, all I want for Christmas is you.
I hate it when she buys CDs.

Fairytale of New York is by far the best.
The Vandals "Oi to the World" is #2.
Travis - River has grown on me this year.
Raveonettes - Christmas Song is my favorite new Xmas song.
David Bowie and Bing Crosby - Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy
Ramones - Merry Xmas (I don't want to fight tonight
Dave Matthews - Christmas Song
Badly Drawn Boy - Donna and Blitzen
John Lennon - Happy Xmas
Run DMC - Xmas in Hollis
And U2 - Christmas - Baby Please come home
